A new Xiaomi smartphone, identified by the model number M786BC, has completed its filing with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on September 18th. Industry insiders widely anticipate this device to be the standard version of the highly anticipated REDMI K100 series.
REDMI K100 Series Expansion
This development follows closely on the heels of the REDMI K100 Pro series launch event held on August 11th. During the event, Wei Siqi, General Manager of Xiaomi China’s Marketing Department, unveiled the planned product matrix for the REDMI K100 series. The lineup is set to include not only the previously released K100 Pro Max and K100 Pro models but also a standard version and a dedicated gaming flagship.
Leaked Specifications Hint at a ‘Ten Thousand Level’ Battery
Further fueling speculation, a Weibo blogger known as @数码闲聊站 shared partial specifications for a new device from a certain manufacturer’s sub-brand on August 31st. This leaker specifically mentioned a ‘ten thousand level’ large battery, a feature that led many users in the comments section to believe it was part of the upcoming Xiaomi REDMI K100 series.
According to the blogger’s report, the engineering prototype of this new handset boasts several high-end features:
- An ultra-high refresh rate flat display.
- A dual-chip performance platform, suggesting powerful processing capabilities.
- Symmetrical dual speakers for an enhanced audio experience.
- A relatively large motor for improved haptic feedback.
- 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for secure and convenient unlocking.
- IP68 dust and water resistance, offering robust protection.
While the exact battery capacity isn’t explicitly stated, the term ‘ten thousand level’ (万级) in Chinese tech circles typically refers to batteries exceeding 10,000mAh, a significant capacity that would position this device as a potential leader in battery endurance.
What to Expect Next
The MIIT filing is a crucial step in the regulatory process for new mobile devices in China, often preceding a public launch. The inclusion of a standard REDMI K100 variant, potentially featuring a massive battery and other premium specifications, indicates Xiaomi’s strategy to cater to a wider range of consumers within its popular K series lineup.
As of now, Xiaomi has not officially confirmed the specifications or the release date for the standard REDMI K100. However, the MIIT filing suggests that the device is nearing its official unveiling. Tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting further details, and IT之家 will continue to monitor developments and provide updates on this promising new addition to the REDMI family.
