TL;DR

  • Xiaomi has launched the Redmi K90 Pro Max, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 mid-ranger with a massive 7,560mAh silicon-carbon battery.
  • The phone also packs 100W wired fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and even 22.5W reverse wireless charging.
  • It gets a triple 50MP camera array at the back, a Bose-tuned 2.1-channel speaker system, and a serious 6.9-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate — all under $600.

Just as flagship phones are starting to roll out with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a new mid-range Android contender is here to steal the spotlight. Priced under $600, this fresh release isn’t exactly gunning for the Pixel A series in affordability, but wow, does it bring some heavyweight specs to the fight.
