Redmi’s K40 lineup already has one Gaming Edtion phone but it seems it will soon be joined by another model. The brand took to Weibo to tease a new K40 Gaming Edition hinting at a chipset change. For reference, the current K40 Gaming packs a Dimensity 1200 and it seems that the new version will switch up to a Snapdragon 870 instead.
