Introducing the Redmi K90 Pro Max — an affordable flagship with a top chipset and a cool sound system from Bose
Redmi has unveiled the K90 Pro Max — the most powerful smartphone in the brand's history, featuring top-notch specifications, a unique audio system, and an attractive price.
What is known
The Redmi K90 Pro Max is a flagship offering maximum capabilities at a reasonable price.
Display and Performance
The Redmi K90 Pro Max is equipped with a 6.9″ OLED display with a 2K resolution (2608×1200), a 120 Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness up to 3500 nits. The screen supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 12-bit color depth, delivering cinematic image quality.
The screen is protected by the proprietary Qingshan Eye Protection 3.0 coating and supports DC Dimming technology.
The device is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with Adreno 840 graphics and an additional D2 chip responsible for frame interpolation using GEX technology. This makes the smartphone particularly appealing to gamers and those who value a smooth interface.
Cameras and Sound
The primary camera is a 50 MP OmniVision Light Fusion 950 with optical stabilization and a large 1/1.31" sensor. It is complemented by a 50 MP periscope with (for the first time in the brand's history) 5x optical zoom and a 50 MP ultra-wide module.
The audio system deserves special attention: the Redmi K90 Pro Max is the first smartphone of the brand with 2.1-channel sound and an integrated subwoofer from Bose. This solution provides deep bass and surround sound previously unavailable in mobile devices.
Autonomy and Charging
The smartphone has a battery capacity of 7560 mAh — a record for Redmi. It supports wired charging at 100W, wireless at 50W, and reverse at 22.5W.
The device runs on Android 16 with HyperOS 3 shell. The maximum configuration includes 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
The smartphone features IP68/IP69 protection, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and a USB 3.2 Gen1 port.
