Redmi K90 Pro Max launches with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Bose 2.1 channel speakers, and a 7,560mAh battery

The Redmi K series continues its reign as the king of flagship killers in China, and its newest release, the Redmi K90 Pro Max, pushes that legacy even further. After several generations, the “Pro Max” badge returns, marking this as Redmi’s most ambitious phone to date — featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a massive 7,560mAh silicon-carbon battery, and an exclusive Bose-tuned 2.1 channel speaker system.

Flagship Performance with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

At its core, the Redmi K90 Pro Max is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Qualcomm’s most advanced mobile processor to date. It’s designed to deliver desktop-grade performance, with enhanced thermal management and improved AI capabilities under HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.

Immersive Bose 2.1 Channel Sound System

Redmi has teamed up with Bose for the K90 Pro Max’s audio system — a first in the smartphone world. The device packs dual stereo speakers (top and bottom) along with a dedicated rear woofer next to the camera module, resulting in a genuine 2.1 channel setup. Bose tuning ensures powerful bass and crisp, balanced sound, setting a new benchmark for smartphone audio performance.

Complementing it is a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom (115mm equivalent) and a 50MP ultrawide camera covering a 102° field of view (18mm equivalent).

The front is dominated by a 6.9-inch OLED panel with a 2,608 × 1,200px resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive 3,500-nit peak local brightness. It’s protected by Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass and integrates a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
