Redmi has confirmed that it will showcase its annual flagship product at ChinaJoy 2026 on July 31, fuelling speculation that the highly anticipated Redmi K100 series will finally make its first public appearance. While the company has not officially named the device, multiple reports indicate that the K100 lineup is set to take centre stage before its expected launch in August.
Redmi K100 series likely to debut at ChinaJoy
Redmi announced that its “annual heavyweight product” will be unveiled at Qualcomm Snapdragon’s N5-02 exhibition booth during ChinaJoy 2026 in Shanghai. The teaser image carries the phrase “Demon King arrives”, a nickname long associated with the Redmi K series. Earlier this month, a Xiaomi handset carrying model number M511CD received certification with support for 100W wired fast charging, and it is widely believed to belong to the Redmi K100 family. Reports also suggest that Redmi may confirm the launch timeline during the event.
The K100 series is expected to arrive with three models, namely the Redmi K100, K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max. Leaks claim the company will initially launch the Pro and Pro Max variants, while the standard model could arrive later in the year. This strategy would also fill the pricing gap that existed between the previous K90 standard and Pro Max models.
According to previous reports, the Redmi K100 lineup could feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, with some reports suggesting a dual-chip architecture on the Pro models. The phones are tipped to feature a 185Hz LTPO flat display, a 200-megapixel primary camera, telephoto macro support, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, IP68/IP69-rated water and dust resistance, and symmetrical stereo speakers. The Pro Max model is also expected to retain its exclusive triple-speaker 2.1 audio system.
Battery capacity remains one of the biggest talking points. Reports mention batteries exceeding 8,000mAh, while newer leaks claim Redmi is also testing a massive 10,000mAh battery for the series. The devices are expected to support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Design-wise, Redmi is said to adopt a premium metal frame with a color-matched glass back and a large horizontal camera module inspired by recent flagship trends. These devices are expected to be rebranded as the Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra, which have already bagged a few certifications in the recent past.
