Redmi unveiled the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max smartphones in October last year. Notably, this marked the first time a Redmi flagship arrived with the “Pro Max” branding. Based on that naming pattern, early reports claimed that the upcoming Redmi K100 series would include the Redmi K100 and K100 Pro Max. However, a fresh update now suggests that the company could replace the K100 Pro Max with a different model altogether.
Redmi K100 Pro Max moniker could be dropped
As seen in the screenshot above, reliable tipster Experience More claims that there may not be a Q11U model after all, but instead a Q11X device. Earlier reports suggested that the Redmi K100 Pro Max carried the internal engineering codename Q11U. However, the latest information indicates that Redmi may have replaced the project internally and could launch it under a different branding.
To recall, the Redmi K90 Pro Max reportedly carried the internal codename P11U. Therefore, many expected its successor to follow a similar naming structure with the Q11U codename.
The tipster’s latest claim suggests that the company could launch Q11X instead of Q11U. This has led to speculation that Redmi may drop the “Pro Max” branding for the upcoming flagship altogether. At present, it remains unclear whether the device will debut as the Redmi K100 Ultra or under another name entirely.
Hopefully, additional leaks and reports emerging in the coming weeks will provide more clarity regarding the final branding of the device.
Based on previous reports, the Q11X model has already been spotted running early builds of HyperOS 3 that are reportedly optimized for 2nm architecture. This strongly suggests that the device could be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chipset. Globally, this device could be rebranded as the Poco F9 Ultra in the global market.
