Redmi K100 Launches at 3,499 Yuan, Limited-Time Price from 2,999 Yuan

The K100's standout element is not the flagship chip but the AI discrete GPU D2 paired with a 10,000mAh battery — a combination that signals Redmi positioning on-device AI compute and endurance rather than pure performance. The limited-time 2,999 yuan entry price through Double 11 frames the launch as a volume play around China's biggest promotional window, which matters for how rivals price competing flagships in the same period. Whether the D2's real-world AI workloads justify the discrete-GPU framing, and whether the promotional price holds beyond Double 11, are the open questions.
