The teaser image reveals a textured rear panel with sharp lines, one of which runs vertically through the middle of the phone. There is an Automobili Lamborghini badge at the bottom half, accompanied by the Squadra Corse branding.
The Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition will sport a redesigned camera deco compared to the handset's standard variant. It is seen in a pentagonal shape, finished in a black colourway. This, along with the white shade of the rest of the phone, gives it a two-tone appearance.
While the smartphone still features the triple rear cameras, the Sound by Bose branding on the Redmi K90 Pro Max has been replaced with Redmi on the K90 Pro Max Champion Edition.
However, it remains unknown if this is just a cosmetic redesign or if the K90 Pro Max Champion Edition will boast different specifications compared to the standard variant. It will also be announced today, alongside the rest of the Redmi K90 models, in China.
The Redmi K90 Pro Max is confirmed to sport a 6.9-inch OLED screen with full RGB sub-pixel layout and DC dimming support. As per the company, it will be equipped with a main camera with a 1/1.31-inch sensor, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, a periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, 10x lossless zoom, and optical image stabilisation (OIS) — a first for the Redmi K-series.
The upcoming handset is also confirmed to be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. It will introduce a 2.1 stereo system, comprising two super-linear speakers and an extra-large independent woofer, tuned by Bose.
The Redmi K90 Pro Max will pack a 7,560mAh battery with support for 100W wired, 50W wireless, and 22.5W reverse wired charging.
