Redmi K100 went live in China today, October 31, at a Double 11 price of 2,999 yuan for the 12GB+256GB model. That's 500 yuan under its 3,499 yuan retail.

Redmi K100 Double 11 Price Starts at 2,999 Yuan (~Rs. 50,000)
Xiaomi showed off the Redmi K100 in China on October 27, then opened pre-orders before today's October 31 first sale on the Xiaomi online store. The Double 11 cut takes 500 to 600 yuan off retail across all three configs, so the 12GB+256GB starts at 2,999 yuan.
According to Gadgets360, retail works out to about Rs. 50,000 for 12GB+256GB, Rs. 58,000 for 12GB+512GB and Rs. 64,000 for 16GB+512GB. India availability hasn't been announced yet.
Redmi K100 Variant-Wise Pricing and Savings Breakdown
There are three RAM and storage options. Every one comes in Black, Snow White / Snow Rock White and Firefly Green / Fluorescent Green.
| Variant | Retail Price | Double 11 Deal Price | Savings | National Subsidy Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12GB+256GB | 3,499 yuan ($518) | 2,999 yuan ($444) | 500 yuan | 2,549.15 yuan ($377) |

How the Double 11 and National Subsidy Stack
Think of it as two discounts in a row. Double 11 knocks 500 yuan off the base model and 600 yuan off the two higher models. If you're eligible, China's national subsidy slices more off that deal price.
National subsidy conditions
You get 15% off phones under 6,000 yuan, capped at 500 yuan per item, one item per product category per buyer. So the 12GB+256GB gets the full 15% cut from 2,999 yuan to 2,549.15 yuan. The 12GB+512GB and 16GB+512GB both hit the 500 yuan cap, which lands them at 2,999 yuan and 3,399 yuan.
Redmi K100 vs Last Year: Price Comparison
Last year's Redmi K90 opened at 2,599 yuan for 12GB+256GB. At 2,999 yuan on Double 11, the new K100 base costs 400 yuan more. You're paying for the bigger battery, the faster display and that new D2 chip.
What You Get: 10,000mAh Battery, 165Hz Display and D2 Chip
That 10,000mAh Xiaomi Jinshajiang battery is the star, it's the biggest yet in a regular Redmi K-series phone. It charges at 100W wired, it can reverse charge other gear at 27W wired, and it has bypass charging to keep heat down when you game. Xiaomi built it with silicon-carbon tech, 28% silicon-carbon content and 957 Wh/L energy density.
Up front there's a 6.83-inch flat AMOLED at 1.5K with a 165Hz refresh rate. It hits up to 3,500 nits peak brightness, samples touch at 480Hz, uses full-brightness DC dimming and circularly polarized light, and includes Xiaomi Green Mountain Eye Protection 4.0. Redmi claims the panel runs more than 40 games natively at 165 frames per second, and the separate D2 gaming graphics chip can do super-resolution plus super-frame together in more than 100 mainstream games.
Inside is Qualcomm's 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. It runs HyperOS 4 on Android 17. And durability isn't an afterthought, you get IP66 plus IP68 plus IP69 plus IP69K for dust and water resistance.
Where to Buy and Offer Validity
Sales started October 31 at 10:00 AM in China on the Xiaomi online store, pre-orders were live before that. The Double 11 price is tied to the festival window, the subsidy price depends on whether you qualify and on local rules. Stock is limited and T&C apply.
Is This Deal Worth It?
Buy now if you can buy in China and want the cheapest launch window, Double 11 saves up to 600 yuan and the subsidy adds another 449.85 to 500 yuan for those who qualify.
Consider waiting if you're shopping from India, you'll pay import costs that don't line up with China pricing.
Alternative option: The Redmi K90 started 400 yuan lower at 2,599 yuan for 12GB+256GB, but you give up the 10,000mAh battery and the D2 chip.
