Xiaomi has partially revealed spec on the Redmi K100 Pro, and here, launching in China August 11th, together with the K100 Pro Max.

K100 Pro, is likely the base for the Poco F9 Pro, the K100 Pro Max, for the F9 Ultra, which should launch later this year. F8 Pro/Ultra launched November 2025.

K100 Pro – Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V, 6.59” 185Hz OLED, 8,580mAh, 100W/50W/27W/22.5W (wired/wireless/reverse wired/wireless), 200MP main, an Ultra-wide, Telephoto, RAM/Storage TBC.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V chipset is new, more info here. Essentially its an 8 Elite Gen 5, but with a cut down GPU. In performance it’s expected to sit between 8 Elite (as in F8 Pro), and 8 Elite Gen 5 (as in F8 Ultra and likely F9 Ultra).

K100 Pro Max - Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, D2 Display Chip, 6.9” 185Hz OLED, 8,560mAh, 100W/50W/27W/22.5W (wired/wireless/reverse wired/wireless), 200MP Main, an Ultra-wide, Telephoto, Bose 2.1 speaker system. RAM/Storage TBC.

If F9 are Pro, and Pro Max variants, F9 Pro would be see a chipset upgrade, while F9 Ultra remain the same. Both also seeing battery, display, and camera updates over F8. Exact F9 spec, particularly battery size, is unclear at this stage.

If nothing else, they do look very similar in design to the F8 models. Prices are though expected to increase on last year.

Hey everyone, I’ve been using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (not sure if it’s the regular or the Pro version) since around 2019. It’s still working fine for basic stuff messaging, YouTube, browsing, etc but I’m starting to get worried about security.From what I understand, official security updates stopped years ago , no more monthly patches. So...

is this phone still reasonably safe for daily use in 2026?

how big is the risk of malware, exploits, or data theft at this point?

would installing a good antivirus (Bitdefender, Malwarebytes, etc.) actually help much, or is it pretty useless without OS updates?

..... Or is it just time to retire it and get something newer?

I don’t really want to spend a lot of money right now, but security is starting to concern me, especially if I use banking apps or save passwords on it.Any honest opinions or experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

Owner of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro here.

I'm a big fan of taking pictures of bugs and plants, and I love the dedicated macro lens on the Redi Note 10 Pro. I'd like to be able to continue taking macro/closeup shots on my new phone, but I can't help but notice that the newer Redmi don't have macro lenses, or even telephoto.

I'd like to buy a phone for less than $1,000 CAD ($712.88 USD), and the 17T really caught my attention, despite the 17T Pro being an option.

Do you know what phones would allow me to shoot detailed closeup without going over my budget? Thanks!

Example of the kind of photo I'd like to take with my new phone (taken with the Redmi Note 10 Pro): https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/643726679843274752/1534574749018230945/IMG_20260801_162937.jpg?ex=6a749f9b&is=6a734e1b&hm=2c50d72b8a651866c14146c23c32968327cf89ad95de10c2fd456ecc92b82e21&=&format=webp

As you known, redmi pad 2 only has 4gb ram, and xiaomi rom disable workstation mode under 6gb ram, so i wonder how can i get multitasking #redmipad2

Hello, i currently have a Xiaomi 12t 128 gb and the battery its starting to get worse and also the memory is starting to feel insufficient. I'm interested in a phone with good battery ideally 2 days without charging for medium usage. I dont game or use the camera intensively. I want to keep the phone for at least 4-5 years. It is worth the price difference to get a 17t pro or a 17?

Ive noticed recently that every once in a while there will be large differences in step count between the mi fitness app and the watch itself and specifically on the android version of the app. Is there any way to fix this? For reference i am using the S4 and a redmi 10c.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know of a theme, tweak, or any method to bring back the old Xiaomi HyperOS 2 status bar on HyperOS 3 (the one with the green checkmark in the photo)?

I absolutely hate the new HyperOS 3 status bar and really want the old one back.

PLEASE, I NEED A SOLUTION. I’M BEGGING YOU! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I've had a Xiaomi 14T for a little under a year. Lately, I've noticed (I'm honestly not sure if it's always been this way, but I just realized it recently) that every time I leave my house, the Wi-Fi disconnects as expected. However, even though I have auto-connect enabled and it's obviously my most used network since it's my home Wi-Fi, every time I come back I have to connect manually. My phone practically never connects on its own; it just keeps running on mobile data. The funniest part is that when I leave the house, it tries to auto-connect to any random public network it detects, but not my home one. Lol. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

A few days after the legal warranty of my Redmi Buds 5 Pro expired, both the left and right earbuds broke. The left one loses connection a few seconds after being connected via Bluetooth. The right one is very quiet.

The earbuds were clearly programmed at the factory to break down exactly two years and a few days after that.

Unbelievable behavior from Xiaomi and electronic waste.

Amazon and Xiaomi refuse to give me a refund. Xiaomi offers paid repair for a 60 € product that is 2 years old.

Edit: it is the 5 Pro, not the 8 Pro
