Redmi has officially shown the design of the Redmi K90 Max and said the Redmi K Pad 2 will also come out later this month. They put pictures and details on Weibo, showing the K90 Max in ‘Space Silver’ and giving us a first look at the tablet’s important details. You can already reserve them on Redmi’s website.
Official design reveal and overall look
The Redmi K90 Max has a flat back with a big area for the cameras and a simple style. The two cameras are one on top of the other on one side, and a round cooling fan is on the other. The entire metal body is meant to feel high quality, but isn’t overly flashy.
The phone uses an aluminum frame and very thin borders around the screen for a polished look. Even though people are comparing it to other expensive phones, the K90 Max has its own look because of where the cameras are and the visible fan. Redmi is going for a clean look that appeals to gamers, and isn’t covered in extra decoration.
Active cooling system and thermal design
One key thing about the phone is the cooling fan inside it. Redmi says it’s bigger than the fans in other phones. Instead of the usual speaker holes, the phone has a large opening to feed air to the fan, and another air outlet under the cameras. This is all done to get air moving over the parts inside that get hot.
Redmi says the fan can lower the inside temperature by as much as 10 degrees Celsius in 100 seconds when you turn on ‘high speed’ mode. The company also says the cooling system is fairly quiet, at around 32 dB. Importantly, Redmi has also made sure the fan is protected from water and dust, with an IP69 rating, even though it’s moving.
Display and chipset expectations for the K90 Max
The K90 Max is expected to be a very powerful phone in the K-series. Early hints suggest a 165Hz screen (so it updates 165 times a second) for smooth gaming and quick responses. Redmi hasn’t said for sure what processor it will use, but people are guessing it will have the very newest, most powerful one.
The battery life is also important for long gaming sessions. Rumors say it will have a big battery, maybe around 8,000 mAh, and very quick charging at about 100W. These details suggest it’s built to stay running at peak performance for a long time and charge rapidly.
Redmi K Pad 2 confirmed tablet specs
Along with the K90 Max, Redmi has said the K Pad 2 will be released at the same time. The tablet will have an 8.8-inch screen that refreshes at 165Hz, which is great for people who want things to respond quickly when they’re gaming or watching videos. The K Pad 2 will use the Dimensity 9500, a top-end processor, making it a very fast tablet for its price.
Redmi also told us the K Pad 2 will come in three colors and you can reserve it now. The fast screen and high-quality processor mean the tablet is aiming to be good for both entertainment and work.
Market positioning and availability
The Redmi K90 Max will be the third phone in the K90 line (along with the K90 and K90 Pro Max) and is aimed at people who push their phones hard and like to play games on their phone. Many people think it will be sold as the Xiaomi 17T in some countries, so people in those areas might get the same internal hardware under a different brand.
You can reserve it now on the official website, meaning it’s coming out in China this month. With a lot of focus on keeping the phone cool, having a lot of power, and fast screens on both the phone and tablet, Redmi seems to be going after customers who want their devices to be consistently fast and not overheat when they’re using them.
The K90 Max and K Pad logically show Redmi’s commitment to powerful components in both phones and tablets. What we know so far points to a lot of thought being put into managing heat and how quickly the screen responds, so both of these devices are worth paying attention to as we get the complete specifications and prices.
