    SD888 for K40pro, and D1200 for K40. The insiders are more excited about K40 than K40pro.

        Marco M, 11 Jan 2021Only problem is reviewers being way too biased towards AMOL... morehavent receive any news about using Mini LED screen on mass production smartphone.
        mini led isnt suitable for small screen device like smartphone currently.
        Maybe some tablet in this or next year will use miniled screen.Rumor about ipad will use miniled screen is somehow true.
        Some laptop will use miniled screen this year

Xiaomi got a lot of crap from reviewers for the LCD in the Mi 10T, not because it was bad - because it wasn't. Solely because it was LCD and not AMOLED.

          The LCD display was the major selling point for me with that device. Big screen phones with FHD+ AMOLED are a nightmare for me. At least the Mi 11 is now bumped to QHD+, so the sharpness is no longer an issue on that series. Only the other AMOLED longevity downsides to worry about.

          It will be interesting to see what the Redmi K40 will bring. When will Xiaomi, or Redmi, come with the first mini LED backlit phone? Could it be this one already?
          If not, then I sure hope the Mi 11T and 11T Pro will.

            I bought a Samsung A50 phones, at first it was great now it's yellowish and warm for no reason and colors are terrible and inaccurate

            I thought about being anti-lcd and now I have changed, now I think Until Micro-Led arrives, a good lcd can give OLED a run for itsoney.

              I don't mind the pro being OLED just want some more LCD options out there

                      Sorry but if I buy a phone for 2999 RMB I don't want it to be Redmi brand.
                      How can I show it to people? They will laugh at me.

                        IpsDisplay, 11 Jan 2021Hopefully at least one LCD in the line upI know you guy love IPS screen
                        Xiaomi do have a LCD flagship killer standard phone this year(2021)in plan.
                        But the K40Pro(Poco F3Pro or Mi11T pro)will have samsung OLED screen
