Redmi K100 Launched With a 10,000mAh Battery: Price and Specs
Xiaomi has announced the Redmi K100 in China, and its headline feature is hard to miss: a 10,000 mAh battery. Most big phones today ship with around 5,000 mAh, so this is roughly double.
Why the battery matters
In everyday terms, a battery this size should give you a lot more time between charges. Real results depend on how you use the phone, and we have not tested it ourselves. Xiaomi also added 100W wired charging, which helps when you do need to plug in.

Will it come to your country?
Xiaomi announced the phone in China. We have not seen a global release date or international price yet, and we will update this page when that changes. Redmi phones often arrive in other markets under a different name, but that is not confirmed here.
Who should care
If battery life is your number one need, this is one of the most interesting phones of the year. If you want a great camera system, look elsewhere: there are only two rear cameras and no telephoto. Our Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra page shows what a camera-first flagship looks like.
