The Redmi K40 Gaming Edition phone has just made its way into global markets as the Poco F3 GT, but it looks like it’s already set to be dethroned as Xiaomi’s best gaming phone.
As the name suggests, this is a gaming-centric device from the Redmi K40 series, which already includes several budget smartphones. On Weibo, the company shared a teaser poster of a new gaming smartphone in the same family without going into details or differences.
The Snapdragon 870 is considered a gaming platform due to its high maximum frequency of 3.2 GHz.
In a separate development, a Chinese tipster by the name of Digital Chat Station mentioned that the new version of the Redmi K40 Gaming phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset, but will be very similar to the original model otherwise. It should also be offered at a competitive price.
Notably, the standard Redmi K40 with the Snapdragon 870 already exists, but without the gaming extras like RGB lighting or shoulder buttons. With that in mind, we don’t expect the new gaming phone to be too different in other ways.
