Redmi is preparing to launch its K100 series flagships in China, but the conversation has already shifted to what comes next.
A product manager's hint suggests the brand may skip the K110 name and jump straight to K200.

The discussion started after fans proposed that Redmi call its next flagship series K200 once the K100 lineup completes its cycle.
Responding to the suggestion, product manager Mia Xinxin said the K110 name feels "a bit strange," hinting at a different approach.
Other smartphone brands have used similar naming jumps after crossing the 100 mark.
