Redmi K90 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Sets New Geekbench Records

The Redmi K90 Pro is shaping up to be one of Xiaomi’s most ambitious flagships yet. A fresh Geekbench 6.5 listing has revealed the phone’s key specs — and it looks like Redmi is aiming straight at the high-end tier usually dominated by Samsung and OnePlus.

Listed under the model number 25102RKBEC, the device packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, featuring two cores clocked at 4.21GHz and six cores running at 3.6GHz. That’s serious horsepower — the K90 Pro scored 3,559 in single-core and 11,060 in multi-core tests, putting it squarely in flagship territory. With 16GB of RAM and Android 16 onboard, this phone is built for serious multitasking and long-term support.

According to Digital Chat Station, a well-known industry tipster, the K90 Pro won’t just rely on raw performance. It’s expected to deliver the best battery life in the series, packing a massive 7,000–7,500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. In other words, this could be a true endurance champion without compromising speed or power efficiency.

Camera-wise, Redmi seems to be taking cues from its parent brand’s flagship lineup. The leak suggests a triple 50MP setup, including a Light Fusion 950 main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto lens. If accurate, the K90 Pro could rival the Xiaomi 17 series in imaging performance — something we don’t often see in the mid-premium price range.

What’s even more intriguing is DCS’s note that the K90 Pro will “break family traditions” — implying a step up in design and materials. Expect a flagship-grade build, improved audio performance, and possibly a more refined chassis that elevates Redmi’s industrial design game. The phone will reportedly sport a 6.59-inch flat RGB OLED LTPS screen, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, USB 3.0, and Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 running atop Android 16.

The pricing leak pegs it at around ¥4,000 (≈$560), which, given its rumored specs, sounds like one of the most competitive flagship values in 2025.

For global fans, the Redmi K90 series will likely arrive under the Poco F8 branding, with the Poco F8 Pro and F8 Ultra expected to launch in Q1 2026. That means the K90 Pro’s global twin could soon become one of the most powerful Poco devices to date.

In typical Redmi fashion, the K90 Pro seems built to blur the line between “flagship killer” and true flagship. With cutting-edge specs, aggressive pricing, and a rumored design overhaul, Xiaomi’s sub-brand is clearly ready to raise the bar again — and the rest of the smartphone world should probably take note.
