Redmi Confirms K90 Ultra China Launch and Opens Pre‑Orders

The phone is billed as a lower‑priced gaming flagship that aims to sustain high performance with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, active cooling, and a very large battery.

Overview

  • Redmi has posted that the K90 Ultra will debut in China later this month and the company has opened pre‑reservations on its online store.
  • Xiaomi Group president Lu Weibing said the K90 Ultra will sit below the K90 Max in the lineup and is expected to carry a price around CNY 3,000.
  • Multiple reports and leaks say the phone will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor but Redmi has not published a full specification sheet to confirm that claim.
  • Leaked details also report an active cooling fan and an oversized battery in the 8,000–8,500mAh range to extend gaming runtime, with other unconfirmed specs pointing to a 6.89‑inch 1.5K 165Hz OLED display and IP68 rating.
  • The K90 Ultra continues Redmi’s strategy of offering flagship‑class performance and large batteries at lower prices, a move that could pressure rivals such as Honor and push value‑flagship expectations on endurance and sustained gaming performance.
