First leak for Redmi K90 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor, 50 MP periscope telephoto camera

Redmi’s K series is expanding with a new model that stands out with its photography features. Redmi K80 Pro, introduced in November 2024, was the company’s first K series device to include a telephoto camera. Now, it is stated that the Redmi K90 Pro model will come with a periscope telephoto camera with 50 MP resolution and will further improve the photography experience.

Digital Chat Station, known for its Chinese technology leaks, drew attention to the “Pro” model of a brand in a post on Weibo. Although it did not directly specify the name of the device, it was suggested in the comments that this model could be Redmi K90 Pro.

According to the leak, Redmi K90 Pro will have a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera. Previously, the telephoto camera of the Redmi K80 Pro offered 2.5x optical zoom and 60 mm focal length. The periscope camera in the new model can offer its users a better experience in long-distance shooting with its higher optical zoom capabilities.

In addition, the Redmi K90 Pro is said to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor. This new chipset from Qualcomm is expected to be introduced in October 2025. The screen features of the device can be presented to the user with a flat OLED panel and 2K resolution, as in the previous model.

Redmi K90 Pro may open to the world with a different name

There is no exact information about the launch date of Redmi K90 Pro. However, leaks suggest that the device will be launched in China in November 2025. It is stated that the K90 series may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. However, it is claimed that the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro models may be introduced to the global market in 2026 under the names Poco F8 and F8 Pro.

The prominent features of the new model, such as the camera and processor, show that Redmi aims to bring the K series closer to the premium segment. It is expected to attract photography enthusiasts, especially with periscope cameras. It is thought that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor will take the device to the next level in terms of performance.

It is estimated that as the details of the Redmi K90 Pro become clear, more information will be obtained about the technological innovations and design of the device. With the K series, the company aims to take a step to meet the expectations of users in both the local and global markets.
