New series of flagship smartphones Redmi K40 unlike its predecessors K20 Pro and K30 Pro, it no longer contains a retractable module for the front camera. Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi now he explains why this is so, resp. why the novelty includes a shot for the front camera.
Redmi The K40 series no longer offers a retractable front camera
Already previous generations of flagship smartphones from Redmi, marked Redmi K20 Pro a Redmi K30 Pro, offered an innovative retractable front camera module. Thanks to this technology, the front display did not contain any cutout.
New models for 2021, Redmi K40 a Redmi K40 Pro, come with a front camera that is located in the recess in the display. In addition, it has compact dimensions with a diameter of only 2,76 millimeters.
A small hole in the center of the top of the screen does not disturb the view of the screen too much. On the other hand, it significantly differentiates the previous and current design Redmi K series smartphones.
Change of design and approach from Redmi
As Lu Weibing, the company's CEO, explained Redmi, mechanical slide-out camera modules take up too much space in the guts of the device. This prevents the introduction of certain other technologies and therefore the manufacturer stopped using this type of cameras.
According to the CEO of the company Redmi these modules make the smartphone's thin and light design difficult. This design was achieved in new Redmi smartphones thanks to the integrated camera with a shot in the screen.
In short, it seems that the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi said goodbye to the mechanism of the front camera slide-out module. The manufacturer focuses more on improving the weight and dimensions of its smartphones until the front cameras integrated under the screen are commercially available.

Just a clean full screen without shots and cutouts was the reason for the purchase of the previous model. So I would definitely not be interested in this, even if it was half as thick.
