Redmi Confirms K100 Launch in China Later This Month

Redmi has confirmed that the Redmi K100 will launch in China later this month. Xiaomi’s sub-brand shared the update through its official Weibo account and released a teaser image of the phone’s rear design. However, the company has not announced the exact launch date yet.

The Redmi K100 is already open for pre-reservation in China. Buyers can reserve the phone with a CNY 9.9 (roughly Rs. 140) deposit. The deposit also unlocks a special new-product gift package at the time of purchase.

Redmi describes the upcoming model as offering massive battery capacity and gaming performance on par with Pro flagships. The teaser image appears to show a dual rear camera setup alongside a large circular element, which may be a speaker grille similar to the one on the Redmi K100 Pro series.

According to early leaks and rumours, the Redmi K100 is expected to feature a 6.9-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 185Hz. It is likely to run on a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and pack a 10,000mAh battery. Other expected features include Bose-tuned speakers, an IP68 rating, and Android 17-based HyperOS 4. Past reports also suggested a starting price of around CNY 3,500 (roughly Rs. 50,000) in China.

The Redmi K100 will be the third model in the series. Redmi launched the K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max in China in August. Those phones started at CNY 3,999 and CNY 4,499, respectively, and carried large batteries of 8,580mAh and 9,070mAh.

With the standard Redmi K100 now confirmed for a late-month launch, more official details on specifications and pricing are expected soon.
