While Xiaomi is preparing to launch the Xiaomi 16 series in China this September, its sub-brand Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro in October or November in the domestic market. Previous reports have suggested that the Redmi K90 Pro may feature a periscope telephoto camera. Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the specific camera sensor being considered for the periscope unit.
Redmi K90 Pro’s periscope telephoto camera revealed
As per the new leak, the Redmi K90 Pro may come equipped with the OmniVision OV50Q sensor—a 50-megapixel, 1/1.3-inch sensor featuring LOFIC and QPD V3 technologies. These are designed to improve dynamic range, focus speed, and reduce power consumption while supporting features such as smooth frame transitions and super frame synthesis. DCS also claimed that all sub-brand flagships, including iQOO, OnePlus, and Realme, will be adopting periscope telephoto lenses as standard in their next-gen offerings.
As per other reports, the Redmi K90 Pro could arrive with significant changes compared to its predecessor. The device may debut with a 6.59-inch flat display using a 2K LTPS panel and a new display material, likely focusing on sharp visuals and narrow bezels.
Under the hood, the phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, built on TSMC’s 3nm N3P process. Early performance benchmarks reportedly show the chip reaching nearly 4,000 points in Geekbench 6 single-core tests.
To recall, the Poco F7 Ultra available in the global market is a rebranded version of the Redmi K80 Pro. Therefore, it is likely that while the Redmi K90 Pro may remain exclusive to the Chinese market, it may get rebadged as the Poco F8 Ultra globally.
