As Xiaomi prepares to launch the Xiaomi 16 series in September, its sub company Redmi is also preparing to make a big announcement.

Redmi K90 Pro: First Details Emerge About the Next Flagship
Camera and Sensor Innovations
A trusted tech insider, Digital Chat Station, has published early information about the Redmi K90 Pro. The phone will reportedly come with an advanced new camera sensor. It will feature the OmniVision OV50Q—a 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch sensor.
This sensor includes state-of-the-art technologies such as LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) and QPD V3 (Quad Phase Detection Version 3). These technologies aim to improve photo and video quality. They expand dynamic range, speed autofocus, and reduce power consumption. The sensor also has buffer-free frame transition and advanced image processing, including superframe synthesis.
Display and Design Enhancements
Redmi K90 Pro will bring some changes to its display. Rumours have it that the phone will feature a 6.59-inch flat display. The display will have 2K resolution and make use of LTPS technology. LTPS displays are brighter and more efficient, and they play a role in providing greater battery life.
Next-Gen Performance with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
Under the hood, the Redmi K90 Pro will be running Qualcomm’s future flagship chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. Made on TSMC’s leading 3nm N3P process, the chip promises excellent performance. Initial tests reveal the chip crossing almost 4,000 points in Geekbench 6 single-core tests—a gigantic boost in speed.
Global Availability: Poco Rebrand Likely
While the Redmi K90 Pro is reported to come out in China alone, there is hope for international consumers. Xiaomi used to rebrand the Redmi brand under the Poco umbrella for international sales. The Poco F7 Ultra was, for example, the global launch of the Redmi K80 Pro. If history can be repeated, the Redmi K90 Pro may become available worldwide as the Poco F8 Ultra.
With a better camera sensor, enhanced screen, and best-of-the-line processor, the Redmi K90 Pro is poised to be a good contender in the high-end smartphone market. More official details will be official later.
