Xiaomi is moving closer to launching its next-generation performance flagship lineup. A newly certified Xiaomi smartphone with the model number M511CD has received network access approval in China, and according to Chinese leakers, the device belongs to the upcoming REDMI K100 series. The certification also confirms support for 100W wired fast charging, while previous leaks suggest the series could feature one of the largest batteries ever seen in a flagship smartphone.
As with previous REDMI K-series devices, the standard REDMI K100 is expected to launch globally under the POCO brand, although Xiaomi has not officially confirmed the global branding yet.
REDMI K100 certification appears online
The latest certification listing reveals that Xiaomi’s new M511CD smartphone has officially received network access approval in China.
Shortly after the listing appeared, Chinese tipster Li Ang claimed the device belongs to the REDMI K100 series, adding that Xiaomi’s next performance flagship lineup will deliver a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
The certification also confirms one key specification:
- 100W wired fast charging
Although the listing does not reveal additional hardware details, previous leaks have already painted a clearer picture of what Xiaomi may be preparing.
Previous leaks reveal flagship specifications
According to earlier reports, the REDMI K100 series is expected to feature several major upgrades, including:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor
- 185Hz ultra-high refresh rate flat display
- More than 8,000mAh battery
- 200MP primary camera
- 50W wireless charging
- 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
- Full IP-rated water resistance
- Telephoto macro camera
More recently, Digital Chat Station also claimed Xiaomi is testing battery capacities reaching 10,000mAh ±, suggesting the final product could become one of the highest-capacity flagship smartphones ever released.
A major leap for REDMI
If these leaks prove accurate, the REDMI K100 series could represent one of the biggest hardware upgrades in the history of the K-series.
The combination of:
- 100W wired charging
- 50W wireless charging
- A battery potentially approaching 10,000mAh
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
- 200MP camera
- 185Hz display
would place the device among the most powerful Android smartphones currently under development.
The tipster also noted that the REDMI K100 lineup is expected to deliver a “significant speed increase” during the second half of this year, likely referring to both hardware performance and charging capabilities.
Global version expected under the POCO brand
Historically, Xiaomi has rebranded standard REDMI K-series smartphones for global markets under the POCO brand. While Xiaomi has not officially announced global availability, the upcoming REDMI K100 is widely expected to follow the same strategy, similar to previous generations.
