Xiaomi’s Redmi K90 is shaping up to be a power-packed flagship, combining the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a massive 7,000 mAh battery, and blazing 100W fast charging. Designed for performance enthusiasts, the K90 balances speed, endurance, and premium features positioning itself as one of the most capable yet affordable Android flagships of 2025.
Redmi K90 Key Highlights
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor: Built for flagship-grade performance with enhanced AI, gaming, and efficiency optimizations.
- Massive 7,000 mAh Battery: Delivers extended screen time with 100W super-fast charging for quick top-ups.
- Premium 2K OLED Display: 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support for vivid visuals and smoother interactions.
Redmi K90 Performance and Battery
The Redmi K90 adopts Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for the main model, which places it in direct contention with current premium Android rivals on CPU and GPU throughput.
Xiaomi also appears to target sustained performance with a beefed-up cooling solution and higher RAM options (handy given early benchmark listings showing 12-16 GB configurations). For users who care about raw numbers gaming, AI-assisted features, and multi-tasking the chipset choice is the headline.
Battery and charging are the real conversation starters here. Xiaomi’s materials and early teardowns show cells well above the usual mid-range pack various K90 variants are reported with figures between roughly 7,000 mAh and 7,560 mAh and the platform supports 100W wired charging with wireless and reverse-charging options on higher trims.
That combination aims to erase the classic trade off between massive capacity and tolerable charge times.
Redmi K90 Display, Camera and Price Details
The hardware package rounds out in expected flagship fashion: a 6.5 – 6.6-inch OLED panel (near-2K-ish resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate reported on early spec sheets), a multi-camera array including at least one 50 MP main sensor and a periscope/telephoto on upper trims.
“sound by Bose” tuning on some models signals that Xiaomi wants the K90 to be an all-rounder, not just a battery champion. Display peak brightness and camera details will matter for reviewers, but the spec sheet reads like a flagship trimmed for price.
The Redmi K90 has officially debuted in China with competitive flagship pricing, marking Xiaomi’s intent to push high-end performance at accessible rates worldwide.
The base variant featuring 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at CNY 2,599 (around US $360 / €335), while the 16GB + 512GB configuration costs CNY 3,499 (around US $430 / €400).
The top-tier Redmi K90 Pro Max model starts at CNY 3,999 (about US $555 / €515).
These prices position the K90 series as an affordable flagship alternative for users seeking top-tier specs including the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a large 7,000 mAh battery, and 100W fast charging without paying premium-brand markups.
Xiaomi is expected to roll out the K90 globally under both the Redmi and Poco brands, targeting markets across Asia, Europe, and Latin America where price-to-performance ratios drive buying decisions.
