The Redmi K100 series is expected to be launched later this year as the successor to the K90, which debuted in October 2025.

Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) shared details about the Redmi K100 in a Weibo post. The purported handset is tipped to feature a flat display with a 185Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it could be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This aligns with earlier reports, which suggested that Xiaomi was testing the processor for the Redmi K100 lineup.

Meanwhile, it could also be the first standard Redmi K-series model to offer 50W wireless charging.

Redmi Turbo 5 Confirmed to Launch in India With This Rear Camera Setup

The tipster further claims that the Redmi K100 will feature a premium design with a glass rear panel and a metal frame. In the comments section of the post, DCS reiterated the use of a metal-frame construction. Additional features are tipped to include symmetrical stereo speakers, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and IP68 + IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Meanwhile, camera details of the higher-end Redmi K100 Pro have also surfaced. It is tipped to feature a 200-megapixel primary camera with a large sensor, paired with a 50-megapixel telephoto camera.

The Redmi K100 series is expected to launch in China around September, according to previous leaks. Reports have suggested that Xiaomi could unveil the smartphones alongside the Xiaomi 18 series later this year. Reports have also hinted that the lineup may eventually include multiple models, including the Redmi K100 Pro Max.

If Xiaomi introduces both the Redmi K100 and Xiaomi 18 series around the same time, the two lineups could compete for buyers within the company's own portfolio.
