Redmi K100 price hike tipped by DCS<\/p>\n
A couple of weeks ago, DCS claimed that the 12GB+256GB variants of the Redmi K100 Pro Max, iQOO 16, and OnePlus 16 could see a significant price hike<\/a> to around 5,000 Yuan (~$730). These devices are said to feature Qualcomm\u2019s<\/a> next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6<\/a> chipset.<\/p>\n Now, the tipster has also shared details about the Redmi K100. According to DCS, the device may arrive with Qualcomm\u2019s previous-generation flagship chip, likely the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a>. The tipster added that smartphones in this segment could start in the \u201c4K\u201d price range in China, which likely refers to around 4,000 Yuan (~$585). This price could apply to the base model, which may feature a 12GB+256GB configuration.<\/p>\n For comparison, the Redmi K90 launched last year at 2,599 Yuan (~$365) for the 12GB+256GB variant. If the rumored pricing turns out to be accurate, the Redmi K100 could see a price increase of nearly 54 percent compared to its predecessor. Such a jump would push the K-series further into flagship pricing territory, moving away from its traditional affordable flagship positioning.<\/p>\n The rest of the Redmi K100 series specifications are yet to be revealed. However, the Redmi K100 Pro Max is expected to feature a 200-megapixel primary camera,<\/a> a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, according to previous leak<\/a>s. Readers are advised to wait for newer reports to learn more about these upcoming flagship phones.<\/p>\n Like the Redmi K90 series, the K100 lineup may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. However, rebranded versions of these devices could launch globally as the Poco F9 Pro and Poco F9 Ultra in the first quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n For more daily updates, please visit our\u00a0News Section<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Stay ahead in tech!<\/strong>\u00a0Join our\u00a0Telegram community<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0sign up for our daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0top stories!\u00a0\ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Redmi is reportedly working on the Redmi K100 and Redmi K100 Pro Max smartphones, which are expected to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,19,17,279,77951,202256,202257,82],"class_list":["post-459735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-redmi","tag-redmi-k100","tag-redmi-k100-pro-max","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116488372834178250","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
