Redmi is launching a brand-new smartphone series with the Redmi M100. The phone debuted in China without fanfare and is already on sale locally.

The M100 is built around a 6.9-inch LCD display with a 1600 × 720 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi also says the display includes eye-protection features and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. Meanwhile, the phone’s durability features include dust and splash resistance, and it is also rated for up to 500,000 fingerprint touches.

It comes in three colors: Midnight Black, Starry White, and Wilderness Green. The back has a four-dimensional micro-curved design, while the camera area includes RGB dynamic lighting.

Redmi M100 packs a big battery and a Snapdragon processor

The big feature of the Redmi M100 is probably the battery. It packs a huge 7,900mAh cell that supports 45W wired and 22.5W reverse wired charging. It is also compatible with the PPS charging protocol, so users can use compatible third-party fast chargers.

The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 mobile platform. The 4nm chip has an octa-core CPU and is also available in other Xiaomi phones like Redmi 17 5G. 

For photography, you get a 13MP main camera on the back. It supports features such as film filters, portrait mode, night mode, live photos, dual-view shooting, Pro mode, and document scanning.

The front camera is a 5MP sensor with features including beauty mode, face recognition, portrait mode, and night mode.

The Redmi M100 runs Xiaomi’s Surge OS 3 out of the box. Rounding out the specs is NFC, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Redmi has also included a senior care mode for older users. It offers larger icons and fonts, media and ringtone volume of up to 300%, and the option to block unwanted calls. These features are designed to make the phone easier to read, hear, and use.

Redmi M100 Price

The Redmi M100 starts at 1,799 yuan (~ $266) for the 8GB+128GB version. The 6GB+256GB model costs 1,999 yuan (~ $296), while the top-end 8GB+256GB version is priced at 2,199 yuan (~ $325).
