Redmi launched the Redmi K100 in China on 28 October 2026, and its headline feature is a battery twice the size of most flagships: a 10,000mAh silicon-carbon cell with 100W fast charging. The phone starts at CNY 3,499 (about $525) in China for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model, according to GSMArena and 91mobiles, with sales in China starting on 31 October 2026.
There is no Pakistan launch date or Pakistan price yet, and Xiaomi has not announced global pricing. This article covers what was actually launched, what it would mean for Pakistani buyers if it arrives here, and what not to assume in the meantime.
Redmi K100 price in China
The China launch prices, confirmed by both GSMArena and 91mobiles, are:
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage: CNY 3,499 (about $525)
- 12GB RAM + 512GB storage: CNY 4,099 (about $615)
- 16GB RAM + 512GB storage: CNY 4,499 (about $675)
Those are China-only prices. They are not Pakistan prices: an imported or officially launched phone in Pakistan would also carry PTA tax, import duties and retailer margins, so the local price — if the phone ever launches here — would be considerably higher.

Why the 10,000mAh battery matters
Most flagship phones in 2026 still ship with batteries of roughly 5,000mAh — the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a 5,000mAh cell and the Pixel 11 Pro XL a 5,115mAh cell, according to launch coverage. The K100 doubles that, and the silicon-carbon chemistry is what makes it possible without turning the phone into a brick: at 234.5g it is heavy, but not wildly heavier than a big-screen flagship.
Will the Redmi K100 come to Pakistan?
Xiaomi has said nothing about a global or Pakistan launch. Unverified reports suggest the K100 could appear internationally under the POCO F-series name, as previous K-series phones did — the Redmi K90 became the POCO F8 Pro globally and the K80 became the POCO F7 Pro. But that is speculation, not an announcement, and Redmi itself has not confirmed it.
There are two realistic routes to Pakistan, and buyers should understand both:
- Official launch (possibly as a POCO phone): PTA-approved stock, local warranty, and a Pakistan price set by Xiaomi Pakistan. This is the route worth waiting for.
- Grey import from China: available sooner through importers, but with no local warranty and a PTA tax bill on registration. On a phone in this price bracket, that tax is a major extra cost — check the DIRBS figure before you buy, not after.
Until Xiaomi Pakistan announces something, any "Redmi K100 price in Pakistan" figure you see online is an estimate or a grey-market quote, not an official price. Treat it that way.

What is the Redmi K100 price in Pakistan?
There is none yet — Xiaomi has not announced a Pakistan price. The China price starts at CNY 3,499 (about $525). Any Pakistan figure quoted today is an estimate or a grey-import price, and PTA tax would be extra.

Yes. The launch specifications list a 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W wired charging and 27W reverse wired charging, confirmed by GSMArena and 91mobiles.

On 28 October 2026 in China, with sales starting on 31 October 2026. There is no announced launch date for Pakistan or any other market outside China.
Conclusion
The Redmi K100 is the most interesting battery phone of 2026 so far. For Pakistani buyers, though, the honest position is patience — no Pakistan launch, price or PTA valuation exists yet.
