The Redmi K100 is a Redmi phone from Xiaomi, announced in China on October 27, 2026. It sits in the upper mid-range: a Snapdragon 8 Elite phone priced below the K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max. The body is a standard slab, 162.91 × 77.93 × 8.65 mm and 234.5 g, with a 6.83-inch OLED at 2772 × 1280 and 165Hz. RAM goes up to 16GB LPDDR5X and storage up to 512GB UFS 4.1. Software is HyperOS 4 on Android 17, and the IP69K rating covers dust and water. The battery is what sets it apart. At 10,000mAh, it is the largest Xiaomi has put in a phone.
Xiaomi lists the battery at 10,000mAh and has not given a usable figure. That is roughly double what most flagships have shipped with in recent years. Wired charging is 100W, with 27W reverse wired charging, and bypass charging that Xiaomi says cuts heat during gaming. A D2 gaming chip built on TSMC’s 12nm process handles gaming tasks, and there is a new cooling system.
In China the K100 costs CNY 3,499 for 12GB/256GB, CNY 4,099 for 12GB/512GB and CNY 4,499 for 16GB/512GB. That is about USD 525, 615 and 675, and about INR 49,910 for the base model. A Double 11 promotion drops the prices to CNY 2,999, 3,499 and 3,899, and the phone is China-only for now. Xiaomi has not confirmed an India launch or local pricing. It suits buyers who game heavily or want multi-day battery life and can import or wait for a global release. Inside Redmi, the K100 Pro sits above it, and the K90 is the predecessor, launched at CNY 2,599. The iQOO Z11 Turbo and Honor Win RT2 compete in the same price bracket, which AnTuTu defines as $375 to $525. The closest direct match is the OnePlus Ace 6, which has the same Snapdragon 8 Elite and a 6.83-inch screen, with 120W charging against the K100’s 100W.
