While the company has not officially named the device, multiple reports indicate the K100 lineup is set to take center stage before its expected launch in August.
Three Models Expected
The K100 series is expected to arrive with three models: the Redmi K100, K100 Pro, and K100 Pro Max.
Leaks claim the company will initially launch the Pro and Pro Max variants, while the standard model could arrive later in the year.

Earlier this month, a Xiaomi handset with model number M511CD received certification with support for 100W wired fast charging, and it is widely believed to belong to the Redmi K100 family.
Reports also suggest that Redmi may confirm the launch timeline during the event.
Key Specifications
According to previous reports, the Redmi K100 lineup could feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, with some reports suggesting a dual-chip architecture on the Pro models.
The phones are tipped to feature a 185Hz LTPO flat display, a 200-megapixel primary camera, telephoto macro support, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, IP68/IP69-rated water and dust resistance, and symmetrical stereo speakers.

The devices are expected to support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
