Xiaomi is preparing a new gaming smartphone with a 165 Hz refresh rate and has already demonstrated its capabilities in tests with 144 FPS gameplay. Redmi K90 Max is scheduled to be officially launched on April 21, 2026. Although the full specs have not yet been released, the company has already revealed the next key features of the device and accompanied them with new teasers that emphasize gaming performance.
Xiaomi is going to hold a large-scale event in China on April 21, 2026, during which it will unveil a new gaming smartphone, a compact iPad mini tablet, a budget tablet, and a line of laptops. Among these new products, new official data on the smartphone has already appeared. As the company confirms, Redmi K90 Max will be powered by Dimensity 9500, the current flagship chip from MediaTek. It is paired with a separate D2 graphics chip. Combined with an active cooling system, this should provide a “top-level gaming experience”.
In an additional teaser, the manufacturer claims that the smartphone is capable of maintaining 144 FPS in Honor of Kings, which is considered to be a demanding game, while the device temperature does not exceed 37 °C. Xiaomi also emphasizes that the display has a number of specialized gaming features for more comfortable use during long sessions. In particular, it has DC dimming, as well as a new customized vision protection mode that reduces the level of blue light. This should reduce eye strain during long gaming sessions.
Xiaomi has previously confirmed that Redmi K90 Max will have a 6.83-inch display with a refresh rate of 165 Hz. This is an M10-type panel with a peak brightness of up to 3500 nits, as well as declared optimization for the sharpest possible image. No pricing information is available yet, but the Redmi K90 Max is expected to be more affordable than the K90 Pro Max, which currently starts at CNY 4199, which is roughly $614.
