Recent reports have revealed that the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro have model numbers 2510DRK44C and 25102RKBEC, respectively. As can be seen above, the alleged K90 has emerged in 3C’s database, revealing it may ship with a 100W charger.
The Redmi K90 and K90 Pro are said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets, respectively. While the Elite edition will debut next week, the 8 Gen 5 may go official in October.
According to reports, the Redmi K90 will feature a 6.59-inch flat RGB OLED LTPS 120Hz display offering a 2K resolution. For security, it will have an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.
The Redmi K90 is expected to pack a 7,100mAh battery with 100W charging support. It is also expected to feature dual stereo speakers, a premium metal mid-frame, and an x-axis linear motor.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Redmi K90 Pro may pack a larger 7,500mAh battery with 100W charging. The inclusion of a periscope telephoto camera could be another differentiating feature compared to the Redmi K90. The rest of the specs could be identical on both phones.
As far as launch is concerned, the Redmi K90 series is expected to debut around a month after the Xiaomi 17 series. The above DCS leak suggests that it may launch by late October.
Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco is expected to announce the Poco F8 series in Q1 2026. The Poco F8 Pro and F8 Ultra are said to be rebranded versions of the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro, respectively.
