Redmi will launch the K100 in China on October 27, 2026, Gizmochina and ARY News report. There’s no word yet on a Pakistan or global release. ARY notes it may reach other countries under the Poco brand, as earlier K-series phones did.

Not confirmed yet
- Price
- Battery size. Leaks point to close to 10,000mAh, which would be huge, but Redmi hasn’t confirmed it.
- Cameras
Earlier leaks claimed a 6.9-inch, 185Hz screen. The official panel is slightly smaller and slower, so treat other leaks with care too.
What will it cost?
Redmi hasn’t said. XimiTime expects around 3,500 yuan (about $490) in China, and also reports 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and 100W charging, which Redmi hasn’t officially confirmed. Pakistani prices are always higher because of import taxes and PTA registration fees, so if it does arrive officially, expect it to cost noticeably more than the Chinese price. Grey-market imports usually appear first, but they may not have warranty and need PTA registration to work on local networks.
Who’s it for?
The K100 looks aimed squarely at mobile gamers: a fast 165Hz screen, a high-end chip and a dedicated display chip for smoother frame rates. If the big-battery rumours are true, it could also be one of the longest-lasting flagships around. We’ll update this page with the price and full specs after the October 27 launch.
