Meanwhile, a couple of Redmi K40 phones have made their way to the TENAA certification website.The TENAA listing features two Redmi K40 smartphones with the model numbers M2012K11AC and M2012K11C. Although they don't give out much specifications, we can see the smartphones listed with 6.67-inch AMOLED display along with a battery capacity around 4500mAh.

Redmi K40 is teased to feature the smallest punch-hole camera ever on a smartphone. We might also see a FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 1200 or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor. The ‘Pro' model might be the one with Snapdragon 888.

These two handsets were seen listed alongside a new variant of Mi 10 smartphone. The handset looks like the Mi 10 Ultra but with a slightly shorter and smaller body. There have been reports of a Mi 10 Lite in the works but nothing is confirmed yet.
