Xiaomi Redmi K40 Mini Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi K40 Mini - it's all about compactness

The Chinese company Xiaomi does not forget to monitor the market and the actions of opponents. So, the increased interest of the audience in the Mini-version of the iPhone 12 and SE 2 made the corporation think about creating its own compact flagship. And it seems that the hero of today's review will be able to provide worthy competition to the previously mentioned bestsellers.

The design of the phone is very good. The exterior attracts attention with a triple photo module in the style of the Samsung Galaxy S20, attractive colors of the glass back panel and a bezel -less 5.65-inch display with a built-in fingerprint scanner and a 20-megapixel selfie camera. The device is extremely ergonomic and will fit comfortably even in a small hand. The clarity of the image with FullHD + resolution is very high due to the diagonal used, it is also difficult to find fault with the brightness and contrast parameters of the AMOLED screen. Thus, all of the above is at the flagship level. Separately, it is necessary to note the refresh rate of the picture at 90 Hz.

Similar words can be attributed to technical specifications. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G processor, 6 / 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 642 graphics accelerator will allow you not to think about the performance of the most resource-intensive games. This year, you can easily set the maximum graphics settings in any projects. The developer has allocated 128GB / 256GB of internal storage. When choosing a version, it is worth considering the fact that there is no microSD card slot.

The main 64-, 13- and 5-megapixel cameras have the main module Sony IMX686, which guarantees high-quality images even in frankly poor lighting. However, sometimes it will not be easy to get a detailed frame the first time without noise and blur due to the lack of optical stabilization. The battery capacity is small due to the modest dimensions of the gadget. A 3500mAh battery will provide about 7 hours of active screen time, but it charges up to 100% in about 40 minutes (fast charge at 33W ). NFC contactless payments, inherent in the manufacturer's products, the IrDA port for controlling household appliances and the MIUI shell based on Android 11 increase the chances of the device gaining hit status, although its price tag is not the lowest.
