Emir BardakçıWell, the rumor mill for the REDMI K90 Series started even before the launch of the REDMI K80 Ultra in November 2024, and this has definitely made the fans and others curious to know in which direction the company is taking their flagship line with such an early peek into the next generation.
Considering the fact that the REDMI K90 Series is already in preparation, Xiaomi would like to hasten their product cycles, probably to make releases of two major REDMI K Series devices each year. If so, the strategy would be a significant turn toward matching fast-moving technologies and changing markets.
Expected Features and Enhancements
Here are some of the early details known so far about the REDMI K90 Series:
All the Way Cutting-Edge Processor Options
Snapdragon SM8750 and SM8850: While still in the offing, these chipsets promise a whole lot in terms of performance, especially when it comes to AI and GPU, not to talk of power efficiency.
3D Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor
A major upgrade in biometric technology for faster and more secure fingerprint recognition.
Narrow Edge Straight Screen
Sleeker bezels and a flat back promise an immersive, high-end viewing experience.
New Operating System
HyperOS 3: Based on Android 16, the new system is expected to bring smoother performance, enhanced customization, and better integration with Xiaomi’s ecosystem.
Launch Timeline
While there’s still no confirmed release date for the REDMI K90 Series, given how leaks have been flying out thick and fast, the expected date falls in the early or middle part of 2025. This further verifies the rumor that Xiaomi may launch two REDMI K Series phones every year.
REDMI K80 Ultra: Precursor
The REDMI K80 Ultra, expected to debut with the Snapdragon 8 Elite in 2025, will set the tone for the K90 Series. It is expected to showcase a blend of high-end specifications and performance that could hint at what’s next for the K90 lineup.
Key Takeaways
- Aggressive Release Schedule: Xiaomi seems to be fast-tracking the lifecycle of its REDMI K series, which may mean two flagship iterations in a single year.
- Advanced Technology: The K90 Series is expected to showcase major features like very latest processors, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and the long-expected HyperOS 3.
- Market Strategy: The quick release cycle could keep Xiaomi in pole position for such fast-changing mid-to-high-range smartphone models.
Although the news about the REDMI K90 Series coming out so soon after the launch of K80 was quite surprising, it only goes to prove that Xiaomi never stops innovating or being ahead of the market. As more details emerge, one thing becomes clear: the REDMI K90 Series is going to introduce some really groundbreaking changes and thus is going to be one of the most anticipated releases in 2025.
