One of the standout features of the Redmi K90 Ultra is expected to be its built-in air-cooling fan. The active cooling system could help reduce thermal throttling and maintain stable performance over extended periods making the device particularly appealing to mobile gamers and power users.
The smartphone is also rumoured to pack a massive 8,500mAh battery. The large battery supports 100W wired fast charging, a specification that has reportedly already been confirmed through 3C certification.
The combination of a flagship-grade chipset, active cooling technology, and a high-capacity battery is becoming increasingly popular among gaming-focused smartphones.
Redmi K90 Ultra – Other Expected Specifications
According to the leak, the Redmi K90 Ultra will sit below the Redmi K90 Max in the company’s lineup. The Redmi K90 Max debuted in April 2026 and features MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9500 processor along with its own active cooling solution.
The tipster notes that the two devices are intended for different audiences. While the K90 Max targets users seeking the highest possible performance with MediaTek’s latest flagship chipset, the K90 Ultra is expected to focus on extracting maximum performance from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform.
Apart from the chipset and cooling system, the Redmi K90 Ultra is tipped to feature a flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a high refresh rate. Some reports suggest the refresh rate could reach up to 165Hz providing smoother visuals during gaming and everyday use.
The smartphone is also expected to include dual stereo speakers for enhanced audio performance, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner for secure authentication and IP68/IP69 ratings for resistance against dust and water.
The Redmi K90 Max launched at approximately 3,499 yuan and reportedly received a positive response in the market. The Redmi K90 Ultra is rumoured to arrive at an even lower starting price.
As of now, Redmi has not officially confirmed the device or its specifications. More details including the complete specification sheet and launch date are expected to emerge soon. The phone may launch in China around the end of June or July 2026.
