Redmi K90 Ultra targets affordable gaming enthusiasts
The announcement was shared by Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing, who said the K90 Ultra is designed to carry forward the gaming-first approach introduced with the K90 Max.
According to him, rising smartphone prices across the industry have reduced choices in the lower premium segment.
The new model is intended to keep high-end gaming performance accessible in the 3,000 Yuan (~$445) price band.
Leaked details from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station suggest the Redmi K90 Ultra could feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite-series processor paired with an advanced fan-based cooling system.

The combination is expected to deliver sustained performance levels that could challenge devices powered by newer flagship chips.
Reports also indicate that the phone may include a battery exceeding 8,000mAh, making it one of the largest batteries in its category.
The handset is expected to share several hardware elements with the K90 Max, Redmi's first smartphone with an integrated cooling fan.
That device was introduced earlier this year and focused heavily on maintaining stable performance during long gaming sessions.

Certification listings previously revealed a Redmi handset believed to be the K90 Ultra carrying support for 100W wired fast charging.
While the company has not officially confirmed the specification, the combination of an 8,000mAh-plus battery and rapid charging could become a major selling point.
Industry sources suggest the K90 Ultra will sit below the K90 Max in Redmi's portfolio.
The K90 Max features the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, a dedicated graphics chip and support for high refresh rate gaming.
