Redmi’s K90 series has been in the rumor mill for a while now. The phones are expected to launch sometime in October, and based on a new leak, it looks like Xiaomi is preparing for a major overhaul, especially for the base model.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, all models in the Redmi K90 series will include a 50-megapixel telephoto camera. On the K80 series, only the Pro model features a telephoto lens. The regular and Ultra variants were limited to wide and ultrawide setups.
The display is also getting reworked. The tipster mentions a “customized new screen” with a “large R angle,” which likely means more rounded corners and a refined front design.
Xiaomi is also said to be using a new base material for the panel, although it’s unclear what impact that will have on display quality or durability. You can also expect a continued focus on OLED, high refresh rates, and high brightness, in line with K80 standards.
More interestingly, the leak claims that all K90 models will come with symmetrical dual speakers, a metal middle frame, and an upgraded 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.. The K80 series already featured under-display ultrasonic sensors, but the new setup could offer faster or more reliable unlocking.
The K90 phones are also expected to carry large 7000mAh-class batteries and support 100W wired charging. That would be a boost over the 6550mAh/90W setup on the K80 and align with the 7410mAh/100W spec seen on the K80 Ultra. IP68 water resistance is also sticking around for the full lineup.
What’s clear from the leak is that the biggest shift could come to the base K90 model. Unlike the K80, which had to compromise on the telephoto lens and a few other high-end specs, the K90 might offer a flagship-grade experience even at the entry level, at least on paper.
