Xiaomi’s REDMI K100 Pro series launched today, presenting two initial models: Pro Max and Pro. TCL Huaxing has officially confirmed it is the exclusive screen supplier for these performance flagship phones.
The series features a 185Hz professional esports display equipped with circular polarization eye-protection technology. This panel supports full-brightness DC dimming and integrates TCL Huaxing’s newly developed C11 light-emitting material combined with Super Pixel technology. Together, these innovations aim to balance high brightness with energy efficiency.
Pricing and Memory Variants Detailed for China
The REDMI K100 Pro series carries several memory configurations with varying prices in China. The 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage option is priced at 3,999 yuan (about $570), with an introductory sale price of 3,699 yuan (approx. $525) and a government subsidy price of 3,199 yuan (around $455). The top-tier 16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage variant reaches 5,999 yuan (about $860), with a subsidized price of 5,499 yuan (around $790), limited to 20,000 units.
Other models include a 16 GB + 256 GB at 4,599 yuan ($660), 12 GB + 512 GB at 4,399 yuan ($630), and 16 GB + 512 GB at 4,999 yuan ($720), all with corresponding launch sale and government subsidy prices. Prices vary slightly between Pro and Pro Max models.
Global Variants Expected as POCO F9 Pro and F9 Ultra with Smaller Batteries
According to additional sources, these REDMI K100 Pro series phones will be sold globally under POCO branding as the POCO F9 Pro and POCO F9 Ultra. However, the global versions are expected to come with smaller battery capacities compared to the Chinese models.
This could impact endurance performance outside China, where the REDMI K100 Pro Max is reported to have a substantial 9,070mAh battery and jointly tuned audio by Bose. No official word has been given yet on the exact battery sizes for the POCO variants.
Significance of TCL Huaxing’s New Material and Display Features
The use of TCL Huaxing’s C11 self-developed light-emitting material marks a notable step in display technology for Xiaomi’s flagship line. Paired with the Super Pixel tech, this helps deliver better screen brightness and reduces power consumption during heavy usage, such as gaming at 185Hz refresh rates.
Circular polarization eye protection aims to reduce strain during long viewing sessions, a feature likely to appeal to esports and gaming users.
These displays also support full-brightness DC dimming, which can minimize flicker issues when the screen brightness is lowered.
