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

Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro+ - strange flagship

A sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Redmi has long set us up to expect a perfect flagship device with a fantastic value for money. However, the resulting phone is capable of upsetting the buyer in a number of its parameters. Where did the developer save unnecessarily?

The appearance of the novelty is original and beautiful, but not devoid of unpleasant drawbacks. So, the plastic edging does not look very advantageous in the device of the highest price segment, as well as the not very thin screen frames. It should be noted that the combination of stylish unit three chambers, side fingerprint sensor and a tiny peephole 20 selfie megapixel-camera display help pay less attention to the mentioned drawbacks. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen is striking in terms of brightness and saturation of reproduced colors. In addition, the AMOLED panel is ready to boast FullHD + resolution, a refresh rate of 120 hertz . As a result, even a sophisticated user will not be able to find fault with the displayed image.

The same words refer to technical specifications. The most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor , 12GB of RAM , the Adreno 660 video adapter will fulfill any dreams of an Android gamer, because the bundle lends itself to all resource-intensive games with maximum graphics presets. In addition, the branded joystick with trigger keys and a removable cooler for additional cooling of the glass back are available separately. Surprisingly, an impressive 256GB of UFS 3.1 format ROMs are adjacent to a microSD card slot , which completely eliminates potential memory shortages. The chipset also provides good energy efficiency, as evidenced by about a day and a half of active use of the gadget from a 4520mAh battery. Fast charging at 33W is present, but its wireless counterpart is not.

Controversial impressions are produced by a trio of main photo modules led by a 108-megapixel Samsung HM2 sensor. Daytime photos are not inferior in detail and color rendition to those of full-fledged camera phones, but it is the evening shooting that the modules succeed worse due to the lack of optical stabilization. Possible grease, excess noise. But let's move on to the positives again. High-quality stereo sound , NFC contactless payments, an intuitive MIUI shell (albeit not without ads), coupled with a reasonably reasonable price tag, turn into other reasons for buying a device that did not revolutionize the market, but will still be an excellent mobile assistant for years to come.
