The Redmi K90 Ultra is shaping up to be one of the most powerful gaming phones of 2026, according to new leaks. The device has not been officially announced yet, but early details suggest a strong focus on performance, battery life, and gaming features.
The phone recently appeared in China’s 3C certification database with the model number 2604FRK1EC. This confirms support for 100W fast charging. That matches its predecessor and hints that the launch could be very close.
Leaks suggest the device will feature a large 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. This would be a big upgrade over the previous model’s 144Hz screen. The higher refresh rate could make gameplay smoother, especially in fast-paced titles.
Under the hood, the phone is expected to run on the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. This processor is rumored to deliver up to 165 FPS in supported games. Reports also mention a dedicated graphics chip, which could help maintain stable performance during long gaming sessions.
The Redmi K90 Ultra may also include a built-in cooling fan. This is a feature usually seen in dedicated gaming phones. It could help keep temperatures low and prevent performance drops. Other gaming-focused upgrades include improved vibration feedback and dual speakers tuned for better sound.
Battery life looks like a major highlight. The phone is expected to pack a huge 8,500mAh battery. That would be a big jump from the previous generation and could offer extended gaming sessions without frequent charging.
In terms of build, leaks point to a metal frame, IP68 water resistance, and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The phone is also expected to run Android 16 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS on top.
For now, the Redmi K90 Ultra is expected to launch around June 2026. Like previous Ultra models, it may stay exclusive to China, unlike other K-series phones that often get rebranded globally under Poco. However, all details remain unconfirmed until Xiaomi makes it official.
