The upcoming Redmi K100 Pro Max is now rumored to be using the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC as its predecessor from 2025. However, there’s some very bad news about the pricing – apparently the K100 Pro Max will start at CNY 4,000, which is around $585.
That doesn’t sound like much if you’re outside of China, but consider the fact that the K90 Pro Max launched last year, with the same chipset, for CNY 3,199 ($467). So this is a huge price increase without an SoC upgrade – of course, if this rumor pans out. Keep in mind that a previous rumor said the K100 Pro Max would start at CNY…
