Redmi K100 Pro or Pro Max: Which Spec Sheet to Choose Today

Update, November 2: The standard Redmi K100 launched in China on October 27, so the statement above that it launches today is out of date. This comparison covers only the Redmi K100 Pro and Pro Max. The standard model's confirmed specifications and prices are in our launch report.

The standard Redmi K100 launches today in China, but its full specifications are not official yet. If you want a Redmi K100 you can buy now, the Redmi K100 Pro and the Redmi K100 Pro Max are the two options. Both are already on sale, and this piece compares their spec sheets so you can choose between them.

Who should choose the Pro

The Pro is the smaller and lighter of the two. At 218 g with a 6.59 inch screen, it is easier to use one handed, and its 8,580 mAh battery is still large. It costs about 60 euros less on its spec sheet, and it uses the same 100 W wired charging as the Pro Max. It suits buyers who want the same chip family and fast charging without the extra size.

Who should choose the Pro Max

The Pro Max adds a 6.9 inch screen, a 9,070 mAh battery and a 5x periscope telephoto camera. The Pro's telephoto gives 2.5x optical zoom, so the Pro Max is the stronger choice for zoomed photos and video. It is 20 grams heavier, and its spec sheet price is about 60 euros higher.

Where the standard K100 fits

The standard Redmi K100 is a separate model. Xiaomi has confirmed its 10,000 mAh battery and 100 W wired charging, and Redmi has confirmed its 165 Hz display, HyperOS 4 and Fluorescent Green color. Its chip, memory and camera details are still reported. Read the launch details before deciding, and compare its price with these two models once it is announced.

Verdict

Choose the Pro for a smaller phone at a lower price. Choose the Pro Max for the larger battery, the bigger screen and the 5x zoom. If the standard K100 is within your budget, wait for its full specifications and price after today's launch. We will update this piece after the launch.
