It hasn’t been long since Redmi unveiled the K80 series in China. And their global counterparts—likely launching as the Poco F7 lineup—have yet to make their debut internationally. However, the leak mill has already moved on to spilling details about the Redmi K90 series.
A leak from last week hinted that the vanilla Redmi K90 could feature a custom-designed 3nm+ chip, developed in collaboration between Qualcomm and Redmi. The processor is rumored to have a fully custom architecture and is expected to deliver benchmark scores comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Now, a new leak from reliable industry tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the launch details of the upcoming phones. According to the leak, the Redmi K90 series will launch earlier than its predecessors—possibly in October. For comparison, the K80 series made its debut in late November.
What we know so far
Even if the Redmi K90 series launches earlier than expected, there’s still plenty of time before we get official details. Based on current leaks, the Redmi K90 Pro is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. On the front, it will retain a flat OLED panel with 2K resolution, similar to the K80 Pro.
One of the most significant rumors so far is that Redmi is planning yet another price hike for the K90 series. A report suggests that Redmi might push the K90 Pro into the 5,000-yuan price bracket.
The K90 Pro will reportedly cost between 4,000 and 5,000 yuan. And even if we take the lower end of that range, the K90 Pro would see a price increase of around 9% compared to the K80 Pro and 22% compared to the K70 Pro.
