Emir BardakçıAccording to the latest post from Smart Pikachu on Weibo, Xiaomi’s sub-brand REDMI is aggressively targeting a high-end positioning for its next generation of devices. The leak confirms that the company is evaluating the mass production of 200MP sensors (likely periscope telephoto lenses) for the upcoming REDMI K100 Series.
This move signals that Redmi is ready to compete directly with premium flagships in the photography department, leaving its “budget” roots behind.
The Lineup: K100 & K100 Pro Max
To support this high-end camera hardware, the series is expected to launch with two premium models in China:
-
REDMI K100
-
REDMI K100 Pro Max
Global Launch: Enter the POCO F9 Series
For the global market, these high-spec devices are expected to arrive under the POCO brand, bringing the first-ever “Ultra” model to the F-series:
-
REDMI K100 ➔ POCO F9 Pro
-
REDMI K100 Pro Max ➔ POCO F9 Ultra
If these rumors hold true, the POCO F9 Ultra could be the first POCO device to feature a massive 200MP Periscope Telephoto camera, making it a true flagship killer in every sense of the word.
