Redmi K100 bags important certification confirming its charging number

A new Xiaomi 5G phone with the model number M786BC has passed 3C certification in China, and the listing shows support for 100W fast charging. The certification was issued on October 12, and tipster Digital Chat Station says the phone is the standard Redmi K100. 

A 3C listing covers charging and model details, so you still don’t know anything about the chip, display, or cameras.

Where the standard Redmi K100 fits

At the Redmi K100 Pro series launch event on August 11, Wei Siqi, general manager of Xiaomi’s China marketing department, laid out the full product portfolio. Besides the Redmi K100 Pro Max and Redmi K100 Pro, Wei said the series will include a standard version and a gaming flagship. The M786BC listing is the first sign the standard model is nearing launch.

Xiaomi launched the Redmi K100 Pro and Redmi K100 Pro Max in China that same day. Both phones support 100W wired charging, so the standard Redmi K100 would match them on that front if the certification details hold. 

Lu Weibing, Xiaomi Group partner and president, who also runs the mobile phone division and the Xiaomi brand, said on Weibo that many flagship phones this year use chips from the previous generation, such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the Dimensity 9500. He added that the Redmi K100 series will definitely be “the best value.” We hope that stays true for the vanilla K100. 

Xiaomi hasn’t shared a launch date, price, or full specs for the standard Redmi K100. There’s no word yet on the gaming flagship either, so watch for more certifications and leaks.
