Redmi has started revealing more details about the upcoming Redmi K90 Ultra ahead of its official launch next week. The company has also confirmed several design and durability features, giving us a clearer look at what to expect from the K90 Ultra.
Redmi will officially launch the Redmi K90 Ultra in China on June 30, according to its latest Weibo teaser.
Redmi K90 Ultra: Premium design, waterproof build, and flagship hardware
According to Redmi, the Redmi K90 Ultra will feature a 6.83-inch display with slim bezels and an aluminum alloy middle frame. The smartphone will arrive with a full-grade dust and water-resistant design.
Official teasers showcase the device in a Space Silver color option. The rear panel features a raised rectangular camera module that houses dual cameras alongside the integrated cooling fan system.
While the smartphone uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset instead of the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Redmi claims its new flagship can actually deliver better sustained gaming performance thanks to its advanced cooling system. The Redmi K90 Ultra features a built-in active cooling fan that can reduce the device’s temperature by up to 10°C within 100 seconds. The company says this cooling system helps the phone maintain peak performance for much longer than competing flagship devices.
Redmi claims the K90 Ultra can sustain 60fps gameplay at maximum graphics settings for up to 60 minutes without noticeable throttling. In comparison, the company says some Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered smartphones begin throttling after around 20 minutes.
The brand also claims that the device can maintain 144fps in MOBA games for up to 180 minutes in a 30°C environment without performance drops. According to Redmi, comparable Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 devices start throttling after roughly 35 minutes under similar conditions.
Redmi has already confirmed that the Redmi K90 Ultra will compete in the CNY 3,000 (~$440) price segment. With the launch now just days away, the company is expected to reveal additional specifications and features.
