Even though the Redmi K80 series was only recently launched, early leaks about its successor the Redmi K90 Pro series — have already started making waves. And if the rumors are true, Redmi’s next flagship could set a new benchmark, especially in battery life and camera performance..
According to trusted source @Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Redmi K90 Pro will continue Redmi’s ambition to conquer the high-end segment. Imaging upgrades appear to be a major highlight, with leaks suggesting the phone will sport a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. This new camera will reportedly offer a large aperture and telephoto macro capabilities, significantly enhancing zoom and close-up photography.
While the exact sensor is still under wraps, speculation points towards either Samsung’s 1/2.76-inch JN5 or Sony’s IMX858 — the same sensor found in the Xiaomi 15 Pro. No matter which one it adopts, the addition of a periscope lens alone marks a huge step forward for Redmi’s camera technology.
Redmi K90 Pro Specifications ( Expected)
Under the hood, the Redmi K90 Pro will be powered by the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite chipset, ensuring top-notch performance for gaming, multitasking, and intensive apps.
Key features rumored to return include:
- 2K LTPS flat display
- Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
- IP68 dust and water resistance
- Wireless charging
- Premium build with a metal frame and glass back
Additionally, Redmi is reportedly boosting battery capacity even further — setting the stage for incredible endurance.
Redmi K90 Pro Price ( Expected)
The Redmi K80 Pro already entered premium territory with a starting price of approximately $515. With the upcoming upgrades, the K90 Pro Price could target the $560 price bracket — a range historically dominated by Xiaomi’s premium digital flagship series.
If this plays out, the K90 Pro won’t just be a “budget flagship killer” anymore — it could directly compete with traditional premium smartphones from top brands.

Redmi K90 Standard Edition: A Balanced Powerhouse
Interestingly, the standard Redmi K90 will also see notable changes. Unlike past generations that used last year’s flagship chip, the K90 will reportedly feature the brand-new Snapdragon 8s Gen 2 Elite.
Despite the fancy name, the “S” series positions itself slightly below the full-fledged Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Benchmarks suggest the Snapdragon 8s Gen 2 Elite scores around 200W, offering performance between the 8 Gen 3 and the 8 Elite — a sweet spot for a powerful yet more affordable flagship experience.
Choosing this chip helps Redmi control costs without sacrificing too much performance, possibly allowing them to maintain a competitive starting price around 2,499 yuan.

Battery Life: A Game-Changer with 8000mAh?
One of the biggest highlights could be battery life. Reliable leaks confirm that Redmi is finalizing a 7,500mAh battery for the K90 series. Moreover, testing is reportedly underway for an 8000mAh battery variant!
If successful, this would make the Redmi K90 one of the longest-lasting smartphones ever — delivering true all-day (and night) usage without compromise.
Setting a New Standard?
The Redmi K90 series looks poised to set new standards in its class. With features like a 2K flat display, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, premium build, and possibly the largest battery ever fitted into a mainstream phone, Redmi is clearly aiming to dominate both the performance and endurance categories.
Competitors will no doubt respond, but the K90’s high-end features at a relatively affordable price could make it one of 2025’s biggest hits.
Stay tuned for more updates — the Redmi K90 series could reshape your expectations for what a premium smartphone should deliver.
