It\u2019s unclear if these are functional or decorative.<\/p>\n<p>Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-android-phones-568001\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android flagships<\/a> look and feel the same these days, and unless you\u2019re dabbling with foldables, it might be hard to get excited. However, occasionally, some OEMs experiment with the CMF of their phones, giving us some radically different smartphones that stand out from the crowd. The upcoming Redmi K90 Pro Max is one of those radically different phones that not only adopts a denim-like texture, but could also seemingly pack a rear-firing, Bose-tuned speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_2n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_9g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_9g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi\u2019s Redmi sub-brand is teasing the launch of its upcoming Redmi K90 Pro Max flagship on Weibo. In the run-up to the launch on October 23, the brand has <a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/3021514657\/Q9xtgoiGF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">posted<\/a> official renders that show off a very interesting phone:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_9g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Denim blue (2)\"  alt=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Denim blue (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Xiaomi-Redmi-K90-Pro-Max-Denim-blue-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the Redmi K90 Pro Max will be available with a back panel that has a denim-like texture. The back panel is said to be made from \u201cnano-leather,\u201d which offers resistance to dirt, yellowing over time, and ultraviolet damage. Redmi claims that it can be cleaned with a single wipe.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_9g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Denim blue (1)\"  alt=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Denim blue (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Xiaomi-Redmi-K90-Pro-Max-Denim-blue-1.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, we can also spot speaker-like grilles next to the rear camera, with a prominent \u201cSound by Bose\u201d branding. There\u2019s a possibility that this could be a third rear-firing speaker, which would be truly unique. However, it\u2019s more likely to be decorative, merely meant to highlight the collaboration between Redmi and Bose for sound tuning on this flagship phone.<\/p>\n<p>If the denim variant of the Redmi K90 Pro Max is not to your taste, Redmi has also officially <a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/3021514657\/Q9widEolP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">revealed<\/a> a \u201cFlowing Gold White\u201d color that is more in line with what we expect smartphones to look like. This one retains the speaker grille, though.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_9g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Flowing Gold White color\"  alt=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Flowing Gold White color\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Xiaomi-Redmi-K90-Pro-Max-Flowing-Gold-White-color.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Leaker <a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/6048569942\/Q9yFFcd6T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Digital Chat Station<\/a> has shared a third Black variant of the Redmi K90 Pro Max too, but Redmi hasn\u2019t revealed it yet.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_9g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Black and Gold colors\"  alt=\"Xiaomi Redmi K90 Pro Max Black and Gold colors\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Xiaomi-Redmi-K90-Pro-Max-Black-and-Gold-colors.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Redmi K90 Pro Max is expected to be powered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/qualcomm-snapdragon-8-elite-gen-5-3599341\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC<\/a>. Redmi hasn\u2019t launched its K-series flagships globally in recent years, so international availability is currently unknown. Would you buy a phone with a denim-like texture on the back panel?
