Redmi K90 Ultra is here with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and a massive built-in active cooling fan | Infinium-tech
Today in China, Redmi made the K90 Ultra official, ending months of leaks, rumors and speculation about the device. The K90 Ultra comes with the older Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, but it pairs it with a built-in active cooling fan that is claimed to reduce temperatures by up to 10 degrees Celsius, ensuring that there will be no throttling during long gaming sessions. There’s also a standalone D2 interpolation chip for gaming.
The phone sports a 6.83-inch 1280×2772 flat AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, 3,500-nit peak brightness and Full Array DC dimming, a 50MP main camera with OIS that uses a 1/1.55″ type sensor, an 8MP ultrawide and a 20MP selfie shooter.
The lights are kept on by an 8,550mAh battery with support for 100W wired and 22.5W reverse wired charging. The K90 Ultra comes with a 100W GaN charger in the box. The device’s dual symmetrical stereo speakers are tuned by Bose. It has IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. It runs HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.
K90 Ultra is being offered in Space Silver, Shadow Black and Sky Blue. The normal price starts at CNY 2,999 ($441) with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but there is currently a promo running where for the same amount you get 16GB of RAM. That version usually costs CNY 3,199 ($470). There’s also a 12/512GB model at CNY 3,499 ($515) and a 16/512GB range-topper at CNY 3,699 ($544).

It’s unlikely that the Redmi K90 Ultra will ever be officially sold outside China, the best we can hope for is to see a similar device launch under the Poco brand in the next few months. Don’t hold your breath though.
