Redmi K90 Pro Max Launched: The Redmi K90 Pro Max has officially launched as Redmi’s new flagship, bringing top-tier performance, a long-lasting battery and Leica-tuned cameras in a premium build. Announced in China in October 2025, the phone targets power users, content creators and heavy multitaskers who want flagship specs without the highest flagship price.
Price and memory options
Redmi has positioned the K90 Pro Max competitively. Global pricing starts at roughly Rs 50,990, with India likely seeing higher retail prices if units are imported. Buyers can choose between 12GB and 16GB of RAM, while storage comes in 256GB, 512GB and a roomy 1TB option.
Design and durability
The K90 Pro Max favors a high-end feel with an aluminum frame and Dragon Crystal Glass on the back. It measures 163.3 x 77.8 x 7.9 mm and weighs about 218 g. The curved design sits comfortably in the hand and is available in Black, White, Denim Blue and Lamborghini White finishes. While the glossy rear attracts fingerprints, it looks striking in person. The phone carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and uses an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor that works reliably even with wet fingers. Note that there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired audio requires USB-C dongles or Bluetooth accessories.
Display and multimedia
At the front is a large 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1200 x 2608 resolution (around 416 ppi). The screen covers roughly 91.8% of the front and supports a variable refresh rate from 1Hz up to 120Hz to balance smoothness and efficiency. Peak brightness reaches an impressive 3,500 nits for excellent outdoor visibility, and the panel supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The display also features 2160Hz PWM dimming to reduce eye strain in low light, and very slim bezels with a small punch-hole for the 32MP selfie camera.
Performance and software
Performance is handled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 built on a 3nm process, with a top CPU clock near 4.6GHz and an Adreno 830 GPU. This combination delivers flagship-level benchmarks—Redmi cites AnTuTu scores north of 2.5 million—and smooth multitasking, 4K video editing and high-frame-rate gaming. The phone uses LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage for fast responsiveness, and a vapor chamber cooling system helps maintain performance during extended gaming sessions. The K90 Pro Max ships with Android 16 and HyperOS 3, which includes AI features such as real-time translation and a desktop mode. Xiaomi promises four Android updates for the device.
Cameras and imaging
All three rear cameras use 50MP sensors and have been tuned in collaboration with Leica. The main camera features a large 1/1.31-inch sensor with an f/1.7 lens and optical image stabilization, producing sharp daylight shots and capable low-light results. The periscope telephoto offers 5x optical zoom with OIS for clear long-distance shots, and the ultrawide camera captures a 102-degree field of view while also serving for close-up and macro work. Photo modes include punchy Vibrant and more natural Authentic color profiles. Video capabilities include up to 8K at 30fps and 4K slow motion at 120fps. On the front, the 32MP autofocus camera delivers natural-looking selfies and reliable video-call performance.
Battery and charging
The K90 Pro Max packs a very large 7,560mAh battery, one of the largest capacities in recent flagships. Redmi says the phone can deliver more than a day and a half of typical use—around 14 hours of screen-on time in casual use—and 8–10 hours under heavy gaming. Standby drain is minimal, with a reported 2% loss overnight. Fast charging is supported at 100W wired, with Redmi claiming a full charge in about 25 minutes, and 50W wireless charging that completes in roughly 40 minutes. The phone also supports 22.5W reverse wireless charging for topping up other devices.
Audio, connectivity and extra features
Audio is handled by stereo speakers tuned by Bose and a dedicated rear woofer for stronger bass, giving a 2.1-channel listening experience that’s loud and clear even without wired headphones. Connectivity includes Wi‑Fi 7 for faster networks, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC for contactless payments, an IR blaster for remote control functions and multi-band GPS for precise positioning. The device retains a full sensor suite and includes features expected from a modern flagship.
How it compares and who should consider it
The Redmi K90 Pro Max competes with other 2025-26 flagships such as the OnePlus 13 and Vivo X200 Pro, and undercuts some pricing of premium rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S26 while offering comparable core features. Its enormous battery and strong cooling make it especially attractive for gamers and travelers, while creators will appreciate Leica-tuned cameras and 8K video capability. Heavy multitaskers who need reliable performance and lots of storage will also find the K90 Pro Max compelling.
Final thoughts
Redmi’s K90 Pro Max marks a clear step into true flagship territory with a compelling mix of flagship chipset performance, long battery life and professional-grade cameras. While the lack of a headphone jack may disappoint some, the excellent speakers and wireless audio support offset that. If you want a high-end phone with exceptional battery endurance and powerful imaging, the K90 Pro Max is a strong contender.
