Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has officially launched its latest flagship smartphones — the Redmi K90 Pro Max and the Redmi K90 — in China. The Pro Max takes the spotlight with Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a giant 7,560mAh battery, and a Bose-tuned 2.1-channel stereo speaker system. It also brings a dedicated D2 display chip to handle its massive 6.9-inch OLED screen.
Redmi K90 Pro Max: Key Specifications
The Redmi K90 Pro Max runs on HyperOS 3 based on Android 16. Its 6.9-inch OLED display offers 120Hz refresh rate, 3,500 nits peak brightness, and Wet Touch 2.0 support for better usability in wet conditions.
It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.1 storage.
On the camera front, the phone carries a triple 50MP setup — a main sensor with OIS, a periscope telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom, and a ultrawide lens. It also supports 8K video recording.
Powering it all is a 7,560mAh battery with 100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 22.5W reverse charging. For connectivity, it supports 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4.
