Xiaomi’s Lu Weibing has officially confirmed that the new Redmi K90 series will be unveiled next week. He described it as the second chapter in Xiaomi’s flagship launch season and highlighted that the lineup marks a major step forward for the Redmi brand in both positioning and innovation. The announcement follows the success of the Xiaomi 17 series, which surpassed one million sales in just five days, setting the tone for Redmi’s next flagship evolution.
Redmi K90 Pro Max aims for the 4K+ price segment
According to Weibing, the K90 series introduces two models: the Redmi K90 and the Redmi K90 Pro Max. This time, Redmi has advanced its product timeline from November to October, making it the brand’s earliest flagship launch in recent years. The K90 Pro Max will be the first “Pro Max” device under Redmi, targeting the 4,000 Yuan (~$560) above segment.
Weibing mentioned that the Pro Max aims to deliver “top-tier performance and quality,” excelling in performance, endurance, display, and camera technology. It is expected to feature a 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch main sensor with optical image stabilization and a periscope telephoto lens, a first for the K series.
Weibing further stated that the K series is no longer defined by pricing or technical hierarchy, signalling Redmi’s readiness to compete directly with Xiaomi’s main lineup. The K90 will serve as an upgraded all-round flagship, while the K90 Pro Max will represent a comprehensive technology flagship focused on breakthrough innovation.
According to reports, the Redmi K90 and Redmi K90 Pro Max will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets, respectively. Both phones will have a 2K resolution OLED screen and are expected to arrive with up to 7,500mAh battery.
