Xiaomi prepares “cheap top” with absurd 10,000 mAh battery

The information was released this Tuesday (10) by leakerDigital Chat Station, two weeks after the launch of the base version, the Redmi K100. Although the source has a good history of leaks, it did not reveal the name of the cell phone and only mentions a top of the line product from a sub-brand in the testing phase.

Based on the leaker’s history, the expectation is that the prototype belongs to Redmi. As a result, the device became associated with the future K100 Ultra, but the name has not yet been confirmed by Xiaomi.

According to the leak, the prototype uses a custom battery with a capacity close to 10,000 mAh. The set would also have low voltage discharge and a bypass system to power the cell phone directly via the charger during heavier tasks.

This last feature helps reduce battery usage while the device is plugged in, something especially useful during games and other activities that require a lot of hardware.

The supposed K100 Ultra would also have 100 W fast charging via cable and 50 W wirelessly. Wireless recharging would be one of the main new features in relation to the Redmi K90 Ultra, launched in June with an 8,550 mAh battery and 100 W charge.

Interestingly, the 10,000 mAh capacity would no longer be unprecedented in the family. The Redmi K100 launched in China in October has a battery of this size and also supports 100W charging.

Another recent leak from Digital Chat Station indicates that the same top of the line with a 2 nm chipset is also undergoing tests with a 50 MP periscopic camera.
