Redmi K90 Pro specs leak shows a telephoto camera upgrade

Vlad, 20 January 2025

The Redmi K80 Pro launched in November and so its successor, the Redmi K90 Pro, is definitely many months from its release. And yet, we have a rumor about it, courtesy of the prolific Digital Chat Station out of China.

The K90 Pro is said to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, due for unveiling this fall, which isn't out of the ordinary since the K80 Pro went with the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

What is more interesting is that the Redmi K90 Pro is said to come with a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera, a first for the line. This will apparently have a large aperture as well as macro shooting capabilities.
