For the past few years, Xiaomi has been launching its camera-focused premium flagship phones in September, followed by Redmi’s flagship phones, which are performance-driven but comparatively inferior in cameras, in October. A new update from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that Redmi’s flagship phones may launch before Xiaomi’s this year.
Redmi K100 series launch timeframe tipped
As seen in DCS’s Weibo post, the Redmi K100 series may be released ahead of schedule in Q3. Reports have revealed that the Redmi K100 Pro Max will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, which is expected to launch officially in September. Therefore, it is likely that the Redmi K100 series may debut in the same month.
The same source has previously claimed that the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max will also debut in September. By launching the Redmi K100 series and Xiaomi 18 series in the same month, Xiaomi may end up cannibalizing sales of both lineups. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the company pushes the Xiaomi 18 lineup launch to October this year.
As far as the Redmi lineup is concerned, it may include the Redmi K100 and K100 Pro Max powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipsets, respectively. Some vague rumors suggest that the lineup may include a mysterious third mode model, but its details are scarce.
In the comments section of the same Weibo post, DCS further revealed that Redmi may unveil new products in Q4. While the tipster did not specifically mention what is launching during that period, it is likely that the Redmi Turbo 6 series may debut in Q4.
