Xiaomi may be working on another performance-focused phone under the Redmi brand. A new leak suggests the upcoming Redmi K90 Ultra could arrive with a number of features aimed squarely at mobile gamers.

The information comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared several details about the Redmi K90 Ultra on Weibo. If the leak is accurate, the device could end up competing with gaming-oriented phones like the RedMagic 11 Pro, at least in terms of raw hardware.

One of the more interesting details mentioned is the presence of an active cooling fan inside the phone. The idea is fairly simple: improve the heat dissipation as much as possible so performance doesn’t drop off too quickly during intense gaming sessions.

Speaking of performance, the phone is rumored to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 processor. It may not beat the very latest Snapdragon chips in every gaming benchmark, but it’s still expected to deliver strong performance overall. According to the leak, the device could push frame rates up to 165 FPS in certain games. There’s also mention of a separate graphics chip, which may help stabilize frame rates and improve rendering.

Battery capacity could be another big highlight. Early details suggest the phone might include a battery larger than 8,000mAh, with some reports placing it closer to 8,500mAh. That would be unusually large for even a device designed for competitive gaming.

A few other features have also been mentioned, including custom-tuned symmetrical dual speakers, a larger vibration motor for stronger haptic feedback, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and IP68 water and dust resistance.

There’s still no official word from Xiaomi yet. But based on the timing of recent leaks, the Redmi K90 Ultra could make its debut in China sometime around April 2026. If that happens, it may end up offering gaming-style hardware at a price closer to mainstream flagships.
