Xiaomi appears to be preparing the next generation of the popular Redmi K series, with the Redmi K100 and Redmi K100 Pro Max to already be at the center of leaks and rumors
However, the latest news is not only about their features, but also a possible significant increase in price.
According to a well-known tipster from China, the upcoming Redmi K100 Pro Max It may be released at a price of up to 5.000 yuan (~730 dollars) for the version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
This represents a significant increase over the previous generation (Redmi K90 Pro Max), which shows that the K series is gradually moving away from the "value for money" character and closer to the flagship device category.
Powerful next-generation hardware
The price increase is no coincidence, as the new model is expected to incorporate cutting-edge technology. The leaks speak of:
- New processor (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6)
- Support for faster next-generation memory and storage
- Performance and energy efficiency improvements
At the same time, the device may also feature an impressive camera system, with a main sensor of up to 200 SM, accompanied by ultra-wide and periscope telephoto lenses.
What about the simple Redmi K100?
The base model in the series is expected to be priced lower, likely around **4.000 yuan (~$585)**, but that too represents an increase over its predecessor.
Global circulation
If Xiaomi follows the same strategy as in the past, the new models Redmi K100 and Redmi K100 Pro Max may be released outside of China under a different name, most likely as POCO F9 Pro and POCO F9 Ultra respectively.
The presentation of the series Redmi K100 It is estimated to be launched towards the end of 2026 in China, with a possible global launch in early 2027.
Η Redmi K series seems to be changing direction, moving up a category in both features and price. The Redmi K100 Pro Max can be a real flagship killer, but now at a cost that brings it closer to the "big players" of the market.
If the rumors are confirmed, Xiaomi may have to completely redefine the philosophy of the K series.
