On October 20th， according to a report from KEJIXIAOZI， the REDMI K90 series is set to officially launch on October 23rd at 7:00 PM. A notable addition to this lineup is the Pro Max version， which aims to compete with the industry’s top-tier flagships in every aspect.
Today， official details have revealed the performance prowess of the REDMI K90 Pro Max. This new model is equipped with the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship processor， aligning its performance capabilities with those of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. This strategic adoption of top-tier silicon signifies Redmi’s ambition to shed its previous positioning as a budget-friendly brand and directly challenge established high-end devices.
Complementing the powerful processor， the REDMI K90 Pro Max also introduces the all-new AI independent display chip D2. This chip supports hardware-level super-resolution， a technology that enhances image clarity and stability in gaming， promising a more robust and fluid visual experience. The integration of such a specialized chip suggests a commitment to optimizing not just raw power， but also the nuanced aspects of graphical rendering， particularly beneficial for demanding mobile games.
Coupled with Xiaomi’s largest 6700mm² 3D ice-sealed circulating cold pump， the device is engineered for the strongest performance release， indicating a focus on sustained high performance without thermal throttling. This advanced cooling system is crucial for maintaining peak performance during extended gaming sessions or other intensive tasks， a feature often reserved for premium devices.
Furthermore， the K90 Pro Max boasts the same 6.9-inch super-pixel screen as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. This display utilizes a full RGB pixel arrangement， where each pixel has its own independent red， green， and blue sub-pixels. Unlike traditional OLED displays that may rely on adjacent sub-pixels， this setup ensures more precise color reproduction and potentially better longevity. While the screen’s resolution number might not appear as high as 2K， its sub-pixel count reaches 9.38 million， on par with 2K displays. This approach achieves comparable sharpness with improved power efficiency， a smart trade-off for enhanced battery life.
Overall， the REDMI K90 Pro Max represents a significant elevation in the series’ positioning. It appears to have abandoned previous product segmentation based on price points， instead aiming to match Xiaomi’s flagship offerings across the board. This strategic shift is further underscored by previous statements from Lu Weibing， President of Xiaomi Group， who outlined the group’s revitalized vision for the K series.
Lu Weibing previously stated that the group has not only set higher standards for the K series but also provided it with maximum support， fundamentally redefining the K series’ positioning:
– Product definition is no longer constrained by price.
– Technical segmentation across brands is being eliminated.
– Direct competition with Xiaomi’s own products is not being ruled out.
