Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi K90 Max 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Redmi K90 Max suits buyers who want a large, powerful phone with a fast display, substantial battery and high-end hardware. Its main trade-offs are the 227 g weight and the lack of Google Services, both important before choosing this model.

The 6.83″ AMOLED display combines a 165 Hz refresh rate, 3500 nits and a 90.3% usable surface. That places the display among the best of its time and gives games, scrolling and HDR10+ or Dolby Vision content an ambitious foundation. The MediaTek Dimensity 9500, 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage and 3,485,900 AnTuTu result put the hardware among the best of its time. This version has 12 GB / 256 GB, while the phone is also sold from 12 GB / 512 GB up to 16 GB / 1 TB.

The 8550 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, and 100 W charging is among the fastest. Reverse wireless charging is included as well. The 50 MP main camera adds an f/1.7 aperture, optical stabilization and 8K video, putting the camera setup better than most of its time. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and dual SIM complete the connection options. There is no optical zoom.

With an overall NeoScore of 8.3, the Redmi K90 Max is a strong fit for anyone prioritizing display, performance and battery capacity, provided Google Services are not essential.
