The Xiaomi Redmi K90 series was launched in October 2025 in China. The series featured two phones: the Redmi K90 and the K90 Pro Max. Now, news has emerged regarding the Redmi K100 series.

Information about the Redmi K100 series comes from XiaomiTime. The source reveals the codenames and model numbers of two smartphones belonging to the upcoming K100 lineup. The standard Redmi K100 reportedly carries the codename "Athens" and model number "Q11." Additionally, the source reveals that the Redmi K100 Pro Max is codenamed "Songyuan" and has the model number "Q11X."

According to the report, both smartphones will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Following the series' historical pattern, the base model typically uses a previous-generation Snapdragon processor, while the Pro/Pro Max variant gets the latest flagship chipset. For example, the Redmi K90 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the K90 Pro Max is powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The Redmi K series is usually refreshed in the last quarter of the year, so we can expect the same for the Redmi K100 lineup.

The Redmi K100 is expected to launch as the Poco F9 Pro, while the Redmi K100 Pro Max is expected to be rebranded as the Poco F9 Ultra.
