Specs and Features

For those who may not have seen our coverage of the launch, the Redmi K90 Pro Max is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, offering up to 1 TB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. It features a 6.9-inch screen boasting a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and a peak brightness of 3,500 nits. The device also includes a 2.1 Bose stereo sound system, a triple 50 MP camera setup on the rear, along with a hefty 7,560 mAh battery that supports 100 W fast charging (currently, a 100 W Anker Prime charger is priced at $49.99 on Amazon).

Expected Models

The Poco F8 Pro is anticipated to be a rebadged version of the Redmi K90, which is a sub-flagship model powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. In China, this device was launched with a 6.59-inch display, a 7,100 mAh battery, and a 2.5x telephoto camera on the rear.

As for the standard model in the upcoming series, it might be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, similar to how the original Poco F7 was essentially a rebranded Turbo 4 Pro.
