Xiaomi’s Redmi K90 series (POCO F8 Series globally) may feature a 50MP telephoto lens, 7000mAh battery, 100W charging & IP68 — even in the base model!
Xiaomi seems to be planning a major upgrade for its upcoming Redmi K90 series, which is expected to launch in China around October 2025. Fresh leaks from DCS suggest that even the base model — the Redmi K90 — could carry premium features that were earlier reserved only for the top-tier variants.
For global markets, the Redmi K90 is expected to launch as the POCO F8 Pro, while the Redmi K90 Pro may be introduced as the POCO F8 Ultra.

Redmi K90 Series/POCO F8 Series: 50MP Telephoto Camera for Everyone?
One of the biggest surprises in the leak is that every Redmi K90 variant — including the base version — may come with a 50MP telephoto lens. This is a major shift from the Redmi K80 series, where only the Pro model had a telephoto camera.
This means that users of the global POCO F8 Pro and F8 Ultra could enjoy flagship-level photography — especially better zoom and portrait shots — without needing to buy the highest-end model
Redmi K90 Series/POCO F8 Series Display Design and Build Quality
The leak also mentions a “customized new display” with a larger R angle, which likely means more rounded corners and a smoother screen design. Xiaomi may also be using new panel materials for better durability and visual clarity.
Expected display features include:
- OLED panel
- High refresh rate (likely 120Hz)
- High brightness levels
A metal middle frame is also rumored, which will offer a stronger and more premium in-hand feel across the K90 series (POCO F8 series).
Redmi K90 Series/POCO F8 Series Focus on Durability and Speed
The 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is expected to improve unlocking speed and accuracy. This tech was already present in the K80 series but is getting upgraded this year.
The addition of symmetrical dual speakers will also improve the overall media and gaming experience.
Redmi K90 Series/POCO F8 Series Battery & Charging
The Redmi K90 (POCO F8 Pro) may carry a massive 7000mAh battery, offering long-lasting usage for gamers and power users. With 100W wired fast charging, it should take only minutes to top up the phone — a big plus for users on the go.
Redmi K90 Series/POCO F8 Series: IP68 Rating to All Models
According to the leak, the full K90 lineup will be IP68-rated, meaning resistance to water and dust. That includes even the base Redmi K90, a major improvement over last-gen models.
With premium camera hardware, improved design, flagship-grade battery, and top-tier charging, the Redmi K90 series (aka POCO F8 series globally) could raise the bar for mid-range flagships.
If all of this turns out to be true, Xiaomi’s K90 lineup might not just be an upgrade — it could be a new standard for affordable performance phones.
