Redmi has confirmed that its upcoming Redmi K100 smartphone will launch in China later this month. The company has teased the device through its official Weibo account, although the exact launch date and complete specifications have not yet been announced.
Pre-reservations are already open in China with a deposit of CNY 9.9, equivalent to approximately ₹140. Customers who reserve the device can receive early access, along with a special new-product gift package when purchasing the phone.
The Redmi K100 is expected to target gamers and power users, with leaks pointing to a large OLED display, a high-performance Snapdragon processor and a massive 10,000mAh battery.
Redmi K100 Launch and Design Details
Redmi has released a teaser image showing the rear design of the upcoming smartphone. The image appears to feature two camera sensors and a prominent circular element. Some reports suggest that the circular component could be a speaker grille, although the company has not confirmed its purpose.
The smartphone is expected to combine gaming-focused hardware with features typically associated with premium flagship devices. However, Redmi has yet to reveal the complete hardware configuration.
Redmi K100 Expected Specifications
According to early reports, the Redmi K100 could feature a 6.9-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 185Hz. If confirmed, the high refresh rate could provide smoother visuals during gaming and everyday scrolling.
The smartphone is also rumoured to use a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, although its exact processor remains unconfirmed. Another major highlight could be its 10,000mAh battery, which would offer substantial capacity for gaming, video streaming and other demanding activities.
Other expected features include Bose-tuned speakers and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. On the software front, reports suggest the device could run HyperOS 4 based on Android 17.
These details are based on leaks and early reports rather than a complete official specification sheet.

The Redmi K100 is tipped to cost around CNY 3,500 in China, which is approximately ₹50,000. Redmi has not officially confirmed the price.
The company has also not announced whether the smartphone will be launched in India or other international markets.
