Redmi K90 Pro Max Unboxing & First Impressions: The New Flagship Killer is Here!

If you thought Redmi was done surprising us—think again. The Redmi K90 Pro Max has just landed, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting flagship killers of the year. From its jaw-dropping display to an actual subwoofer (yes, you read that right), this phone is all about delivering premium features without the premium price tag. Let’s dive into what makes the K90 Pro Max such a compelling package.

Key Highlights & Expected Pricing

Redmi is clearly positioning the K90 Pro Max as a value-for-money flagship killer, taking aim at devices in the ₹50,000–₹60,000 price range. In China, the base 12GB/256GB variant is priced at ¥3999, which roughly converts to ₹48,000–₹50,000 in India. If Redmi manages to launch it around that mark, it could seriously shake up the segment.

Under the hood, the phone is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which promises blazing-fast performance, top-tier gaming capabilities, and improved AI processing. Basically, you’re looking at flagship performance without having to pay flagship money.

A Unique 2.1 Speaker System Tuned by Bose

Now, this is something we haven’t seen before on a smartphone. The K90 Pro Max features a 2.1 speaker system, specially tuned by Bose. What makes it unique is the inclusion of an actual subwoofer on the back of the phone. Yes, Redmi added a tiny subwoofer to boost the bass response—a genius move for multimedia lovers.

Combined with Dolby Vision support and that gorgeous large display, you’re getting a truly cinematic experience right in your hand. If you binge-watch Netflix or love mobile gaming, this setup will blow you away.

Triple 50MP Camera Setup That Means Business

Redmi has gone all out with the camera system this time. The K90 Pro Max packs a triple 50MP rear camera setup, covering all your shooting needs:

Primary Sensor: 50MP flagship-grade main camera

Telephoto Lens: 50MP with 5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom

Video creators will also love the flexibility here—the main sensor can shoot up to 8K at 30 fps, while all sensors support 4K at 30 fps, and the primary one even goes up to 4K at 60 fps. For selfies, you’re getting a sharp 32MP front camera, perfect for vlogs and social media shots.
