Weighing 196 grams and measuring 7.8mm in thickness, it's an excellent package for its price. The phone features a flat E4 OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 1300 nits, and a 5:1 contrast ratio, resulting in outstanding performance and reduced power consumption. Under the hood lies the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chip, which provides robust performance and is well-balanced. In benchmark tests, the K40 achieves scores of 662211, 4092, and 1034/3485 in Antutu, 3DMark, and Geekbench 5 respectively, comparable to its predecessor.
