Redmi K40s stable update: first published on April 02, 2022. Check below for new releases…
Xiaomi Redmi K40s can be seen as a refreshed version of Redmi K40 or a toned-down Xiaom 12X. Perhaps, the former fits in properly as it shares almost the same specs as the K40s. The device debuted in China a couple of days ago alongside the Redmi K50 and K50 Pro. They feature a MediaTek processor and run Android 12 on top of MIUI 13 outside of the box, while the Redmi K40s features a Snapdragon 870 SoC.
As a new device, a new Redmi K40s stable update has since been released to improve performance and address bugs. Of course, the current build is seeding in China and comes with a version number – MIUI 13.0.5.0 SLMCNXM. Given the Chinese company update policy, the device will receive security patch updates for the next four years and three Android OS upgrades in that time. With that, we have set up this Redmi K40s stable update tracker to track all the Android and MIUI updates that would arrive for the device.
Meanwhile, there’s a chance we would see the device in the global market under the POCO F4 moniker. That hasn’t been confirmed, but the device has been in the news lately and will likely debut soon. Hence, if you’re a fan of the Redmi K40s, you might wait for the global release. Nevertheless, those who purchased the device already can update their device.
