There are few phones that come to the studio, excite people, and are worth buying, and I can say this firmly. Redmi K90 Pro Max is one of them! We are going to look at a phone that is one of the best choices in the mid-range to high-end price range. If you want to get to know this special and attractive Xiaomi phone more, stay with Wise Selecting until the end of the Redmi K90 Pro Max Xiaomi phone review article.
Xiaomi Pro Max
In the design department, we are dealing with a neat phone. You can get a nice flagship feel from it. Its material is a refined material and its flat and cassette design type and of course its softness that does not bother your hand too much on its edges, really makes it enjoyable to hold.
The back of the phone is not clear! I mean, some say it is glass, some say it is plastic. You can’t tell in my videos, we don’t have the tools to test it anymore, but it’s really cool. It gives you a premium feel. The fingerprint marks are very noticeable in this color, but the black color is cool, and it has a frame on the back that you can put on so you don’t see the fingerprint marks and it protects it.
The camera panel is a rectangle on the top, just like the iPhone 17 Pro Max, just like the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. It has 3 lenses in it, and one sensor has the same frame as the lens; that is, 4 like a gas stove. We have a woofer on the back that is marked (Bose)! That means Xiaomi collaborated with Bose to put a woofer here, which I will tell you about later.
It is aluminum all around. Under the phone is the Type-C port, SIM card tray, speaker, and microphone. On the right edge is the power button and the volume up and down buttons, it is very comfortable and feels good. Above it is another speaker and antenna lines. The left edge also has antenna lines.
The front panel is 91.8 percent screen. The bezels are very small and good. The selfie camera is visible in the punch hole in the middle. It has an IP68 certificate. Overall, there are no major flaws in the design. It is very neat and clean; both material and resistance. Everything is great.
Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Display Review
The next part is even better. It has an LTPO OLED display that has 68 billion colors, Dolby Vision, HDR 10+, 3500 nits of brightness, an unparalleled display! 6.9-inch display, 120 Hz, bright, without any flaws.
The display is the same as in the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and is exactly the same and clean. The resistance is due to the Dragon Crystal Glass on the display. Now you can put the glass on, but the display is amazing. That is, it is one of the best displays you can have on any phone. It is a beautiful, clean flagship. Contrast, quality, everything is great.
Redmi K90 Pro Max battery performance review
The next part is the battery section. This phone has a 7560 mAh silicon carbon battery. Even 60 mAh more than the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max! 7560 mAh for this thickness, for this weight, is amazing. In terms of charging, the point is that it consumes more efficiently than the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max; although their processors are the same, almost the same in other configurations. That is, their other specifications are the same as everyone else.
An hour of Call of Duty reduces its charge by 5%! Amazing. In normal usage, you can work with it like cotton for a day and a half and get an excellent charge from this phone. That is, you can really feel it, that the charge is unparalleled. On the other hand, there is a 100W adapter in the box. That is, it gives you a 100W charging speed with a SIM card, which will fully charge the phone in less than an hour. 50W can be charged wirelessly, and 22.5W can also be used to reverse charge something else.
Its battery package; capacity, charging, adapter in the box, everything is great. Do you think I’m saying that this phone is worth buying for 100?
Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Camera Performance
The camera is the same sensor that was in the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, and it is also used here. All three are 50 megapixels.
Main lens performance:
The main lens sensor captures photos very cleanly. In terms of color and light quality, in terms of detail, in terms of dynamic range, it is unparalleled in all aspects of detail. You can really capture very good photos with it. You can’t seriously criticize it. You just have to deal with that Xiaomi color and light. It is a bit contrasty, a bit exaggerated. The photos are very clean and clear, but there is a bit of reality behind the times.
Many people like their photos to have contrast. Many people, when they take photos with an iPhone, go into editing and increase the contrast, make it a bit sharper. But this phone has a bit of that blur in its photos by default, in terms of color and light, which is really not a serious problem.
Its portrait photos are 99.9% flawless! That is, it really separates the subject from the background well. That is, you can look at all the fingers and separate them and you won’t see anywhere that something has disappeared. The back is so naturally blurred, you don’t even notice that the back is blurred at first glance! That is, you just immerse yourself in the image itself. At night, the main lens sensor can record photos with low noise, very cleanly.
Ultra-wide lens:
First of all, I said that everything is very similar to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, the three sensors are the same. Its ultra-wide can cover a slightly smaller range. The ultra-wide photos are clean. It seems like their brightness is not controlled, they are a little brighter than the normal photo, but it gives you good detail. Clean. This means that the flagship ultrawide should be like this.
Telephoto lens:
A 50-megapixel telephoto sensor is also next to these two. The photos that the optical can give you are 5X (5X). That is, you can have a cleaner image up to 5X, but you can also zoom up to 100X, where the AI trick comes in and it is very, very clean, and it also gives some things from that 10X. But up to 5X optical, you can take photos like cotton and the photos are really cool.
The point is that it is darker than the photos with the main sensor. So what happened? The ultrawide is very bright sometimes, the main sensor is bright, but the optical one is dark. That is, it is a little less bright. But the photos it takes are really detailed and attractive.
Video recording:
Let’s move on to the video. 4K at 30 frames per second, 4K at 60 frames per second, 1080 at 120 frames per second. The videos it takes are clean and tidy. Its stabilizer is a little weaker than flagships, but it does its job. It can really take good videos for you. But I will say it again in the video, if you ask anyone, the iPhone has another worm. But the point is that the iPhone 17 Pro Max is more expensive than this phone!
Selfie camera:
The selfie camera is 32 megapixels. We take a selfie. One difference between this phone and the 17 Pro Max is that it no longer has a display on the back so that you can take a selfie with the main camera. So I will maneuver a little more on the selfie.
Bright photo, with detail. Look at the details of the beard and mustache! Good dynamic range. The photo is brighter than most. That means it is very clean and tidy. The selfie is also unparalleled. Unique, but not that it works.
Redmi K90 Pro Max Hardware Review
Let’s move on to the next section. The important part is the processor. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5! The same one on the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. A processor that is the flagship of processors.
It is being used in this phone in a more optimized way. You don’t see any instability at all. This phone gets a little hot after an hour of playing, but it’s very normal. That is, it’s not too big and there is no problem that you want to say no to it! It doesn’t work stably. It’s clear, neat and clean, and most importantly, it’s the flagship of processors. That means you can rest assured that this beautiful processor can do its job cleanly for three or four years.
Redmi K90 Pro Max Software Review
Android 16 user interface, HyperOS 3. In the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max review, I also showed you that it has become very similar to iOS. It has that Liquid Glass, its Control Center is very similar, its Dynamic Island is very similar, its Lock Screen is very similar, its Home is similar, everything is similar! Plus a bunch of tricks that were already on Android.
You can apply different themes. You can customize the always-on display, the lock screen, the font, the size, the icon, you can do everything and your hand is incredibly wide open.
In addition to all this, there are a bunch of AI features in its photo and video editing. It boosts the quality of videos and photos. It puts a beauty effect on you. If you take a portrait photo and you are a woman, or take a portrait photo of a woman, that AI beauty works very well. It resizes it on its own.
It also has a bunch of editing tricks. It can remove and remove extra subjects from the image. But there is one thing. The point is that if the subject is very neat and tidy and large, like a section, it will delete it very easily. But if you want to delete an object, a physical object, something, for example, there is a control on the table and you are taking a picture of just that control, it wants to delete it, sometimes it will pat it. But in the case where you took a picture of yourself in a landscape, two people behind you are doing something, it will delete it easily for you.(Buying Guide for the Best Neckband Headphones (From Low to High Price))
Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Speaker Review
Let’s move on to the important part of this phone. The speaker part. We always played the last part of a song and that’s it. But the speaker part in this phone is very important. Because there is a collaboration between a Chinese company and an American company. Bose has put a woofer on the back so that you can get full and real 2.1 channel sound.
When a woofer comes on the back of the phone, you should hear this explanation: It is not necessarily going to make the sound louder for you. The phone’s speaker is not going to be used as a separate speaker, for example, say I wanted to buy a JBL speaker, but now I won’t buy it anymore, my phone has one. No!
It comes to increase the range and range of the sound for you. That is, it gives you the sound from less bass to, for example, where all phones give you their speakers, a little higher. This now adds a bass and a low tone to the music, which is really an interesting listening experience. It’s really cool that you can get bass from the phone and you can get that low frequency from it, it feels really cool.
If you hold the phone close to your face, something will hit your face! The speaker is really cool. And one thing is that this phone is almost the same as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. It’s just that this one focuses on sound, that one focused on the image. This back gives you that display, this one gives you the woofer. It’s very simple(Samsung S24 FE long-term review)
