Rumors of leaks surrounding the Redmi K90 Ultra have begun to resurface, and this time it comes through Digital Chat Station, a well-known Weibo tipster. The leaker tells that the next Xiaomi phone will be capable of competing with the RedMagic 11 Pro.
Xiaomi is said to be preparing two smartphones, and Redmi K90 Ultra is one of them. Recent news indicated that this end-of-the-line phone will have some features that stand out with the Bose-tuned speakers being one of them. Now, Digital Chat Station which is a trusted leaker has leaked all the essential specs of the smartphone through a detailed report.
Some of the latest information disclosed include a 1.5K LTPS display which is reportedly accompanied by a 165Hz refresh rate. This may allow the Redmi K90 Ultra to provide the same display responsiveness that the OnePlus 15 has, with a 165Hz display as well.
But more importantly, this would be a good choice of phone in terms of gaming because of this high refresh rate screen. By the way, Digital Chat Station writes that it would run on the Dimensity 9500, the latest flagship SoC of MediaTek. Although it is not a very powerful gaming and emulation-wise Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, it is still a good SoC.
It would be able to make the phone provide 165 FPS in most mainstream games with optimizations. The other interesting point of the report is that it cites the fact that an active cooling fan has been included. This would directly place the Redmi K90 Ultra as a competitor to the RedMagic 11 Pro that has a cooling fan within it.
The cooling fan also indicates that Redmi K90 Ultra will have the ability to support heavy loads, including AAA gaming, during extended periods without the performance being throttled. Digital Chat Station further notes that the phone is going to have a battery of more than 8,000mAh, and the leaker confirms once again that there will be custom-tuned symmetrical dual speakers.
Other prominent things in the report are ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, IP68 rating, a dedicated graphics chip that lets it perform better in gaming and a large vibration motor. All these would enable the next phone to become a proper upgrade over the previous one (12/256GB current priced at $376.41 on TradingShenzhen). No reference of a possible release date, but the Redmi K90 Ultra will probably be rolled out in China in April 2026.
