Xiaomi might be getting ready to change things up with the upcoming Redmi K90 series, if a new display rumor is anything to go by. According to popular tipster Digital Chat Station, a new 6.59-inch ±2K LTPS flat panel is currently under development, and speculation points toward it making its way to Xiaomi’s popular Redmi lineup, most likely the K90.
Details around the panel itself suggest that this isn’t just another mid-range screen upgrade. The display is said to feature exceptionally high pixel density, which could translate into better sharpness and detail across the UI and media playback. It reportedly makes use of next-generation materials and manufacturing techniques usually reserved for flagship-tier panels. The design, too, is getting some attention: a wide-screen layout with slim bezels and large-radius corners gives it a more modern, immersive aesthetic.
While the exact phone model remains unnamed, commenters were quick to connect the dots to the Redmi K90, given the timing and positioning of the leak. If true, it marks a slight but deliberate shift from the current K80’s 6.67-inch AMOLED panel, a display jointly developed with TCL CSOT that already boasts impressive specs like M9 luminescent material, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 3200 nits of peak brightness.
That TCL connection is worth keeping an eye on. While the leak doesn’t explicitly mention TCL CSOT’s involvement in this new panel, Xiaomi has a long-standing partnership with the display manufacturer. Their collaboration spans multiple generations, including the Xiaomi 15S Pro, which uses TCL CSOT’s newer C9 luminescent material and a dual-microcavity design that optimizes luminous efficiency while maintaining low power draw. The panel delivers up to 3200 nits of peak brightness, all while maintaining power efficiency.
Until official confirmation arrives, the display’s origins and eventual phone pairing remain speculative. But one thing is clear: Xiaomi is likely continuing to push visual fidelity further in its sub-flagship category. The K90, if it is indeed the target, may land with a slightly smaller screen, but could pack more punch than its predecessor where it matters, pixel sharpness, panel efficiency, and next-gen materials that blur the line between mid-range and premium.
