Highlights
- Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition debuts in China with a stunning Lamborghini-inspired design and exclusive accessories.
- Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, it delivers flagship-level performance with a 7,560mAh battery and 100W fast charging.
- Features a 6.9-inch 2K OLED display, 50MP triple camera, and Bose-tuned speakers for a premium multimedia experience.
The Redmi K90 Pro Max was launched in China, flaunting a Lamborghini design. The Redmi brand has introduced a new flagship phone, called the Redmi K90 Pro Max, and this time it isn’t about the power. The brand is collaborating with Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse, its motorsport division, to introduce a special limited-edition model, the Champion Edition.
A Racing-Inspired Design
This edition brings both fast cars and high-end smartphones together to create a device that looks as powerful as it performs.
While the phone functions powerfully, the most distinctive aspect of the phone is in terms of design. The rear panel of the phone features a ‘Y’ shape in the pattern designed to mimic the sharp lines of a Lamborghini race car design.
You can find the Lamborghini logo engraved on the rear panel, allowing for a bold, premium identity, while the finish itself feels smooth, polished, and expensive – something you do not usually relate to a Redmi phone.
Even the packaging itself has been redesigned. The box includes an assortment of custom accessories, including a Lamborghini-themed charger, a Lamborghini-themed cable, a Lamborghini-themed case, and a Lamborghini-branded SIM ejector pin, altogether to make the experience feel much like that of an experience for a collector rather than an ordinary phone purchase.
Flagship Specs, No Compromise
Redmi didn’t tone down the specs for style. The K90 Pro Max remains a high-performance flagship, matching the speed and precision that Lamborghini represents.
Here are the main specs:
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
- Display: 6.9-inch OLED panel with a 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate
- RAM & Storage: 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage
- Camera: Triple camera array, each a 50MP setup (main + ultra wide + 5x telephoto)
- Battery: 7,560mAh battery with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging
- Software: HyperOS 3 based on Android 15
- Audio: Dual Bose-tuned speakers
- Build: IP68 water and dust resistance
It’s a complete powerhouse. The processor ensures smooth performance whether you’re gaming or using heavy apps. The battery charges in minutes and easily lasts a full day. Redmi has made sure the Champion Edition isn’t just about looks — it’s a true performer.
Display and Sound That Feel Premium
The best aspect of the K90 Pro Max is the display screen. The larger 2K OLED display has exposure, color saturation, deep blacks, and fast motion at a 120Hz refresh rate. It makes playing games or watching videos seem sharp and immersive. The Bose speakers add an extra layer of premium feel, with a sound profile that is loud, clear, and very detailed.
It was clear Redmi wanted power and polish in one whole piece.
Camera Setup That Competes with the Best
The camera system is a 50MP triple set that can perform without feeling like an afterthought. The large sensor does perform well, taking good detail photos even in low light. The ultra-wide lens works well for capturing landscapes. And the 5x periscope zoom works well, bringing the subject in while retaining detail.
The video side of things is claiming 8K and HDR. The stabilization and autofocus are buttery smooth, which adds serious photographic credibility to the phone in the flagship space.
Lamborghini and Redmi: Why This Collaboration Works
This isn’t the first time a phone brand has worked with a luxury car company. We’ve seen Oppo and OnePlus do it before. But Redmi’s partnership with Lamborghini Squadra Corse feels like a perfect match.
Both brands value performance and speed. Lamborghini represents power and precision, and it’s clear that Redmi has placed a great deal of its image around innovation and aggressive performance at reasonable prices.
With this collaboration, it is clear that Redmi wants to be seen as a premium performance brand, rather than just a low-cost brand. This edition clearly communicates that to all.
Performance That Matches Its Looks
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor keeps everything fast and cool. The device is powered by TCL’s cooling technology, which provides stability when immersed in gaming for long periods.
Having up to 16GB of RAM and storage assists in resetting apps quickly and allows seamless game playing. The device runs on HyperOS 3, which feels responsive, clean, and refined.
From a performance point of view, this is easily one of the strongest Android phones available right now — not just in China but globally.
Battery and Charging: Built for Heavy Users
The 7,560mAh battery is another highlight. It quickly supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, so even if you run the battery down, you’ll be back up in minutes.
Additionally, you can also do reverse charging, as well, at 22.5W, which is convenient for accessories, such as earbuds or another phone. Redmi has specifically catered to users who require tremendous battery life and versatility.
Pricing and Availability
The Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition costs roughly CNY 5,499 in China (approximately ₹67,700).
The K90 Pro Max model is about CNY 200 cheaper than the Champion Edition at CNY 5,299. Redmi has not provided an announcement on when it will be available globally, so it appears to be a wait-and-see in terms of what a potential official launch will look like in other markets from mainland China.
If you want to buy it from outside China, note that importing will incur additional costs and potential problems in obtaining refunds from manufacturers.
What You Miss Compared to Competitors
The K90 Pro Max competes against the flagship sibling devices, the OnePlus 13 Pro and iQOO13, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
In terms of specifications, it is very capable. It offers the same high-end processor, a strong display, and a massive battery — but usually at a lower price. The Champion Edition adds the bonus of a design partnership that none of its competitors currently have.
For anyone who’s looking for performance and style, this may well be the most interesting option of the year.
Is It Worth It?
If you’re an enthusiast of tech or if you’re a fan of Lamborghini, the Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition occupies a class of its own. It is an extraordinary smartphone, rather than being just a more expensive phone.
Buy it if:
- A phone that looks and feels unique
- Top-tier performance and long battery life
- A limited-edition design that stands out
But skip it if you:
- Need local warranty or software support outside China
- Prefer practical value over exclusive branding
The standard K90 Pro Max offers nearly the same experience without the added cost of the Lamborghini tie-up.
Final Thoughts
The Redmi K90 Pro Max Lamborghini Champion Edition is a bold move for Xiaomi’s Redmi brand. It combines high-octane motorsport design with serious engineering for smartphones.
It’s flashy, flashy, and made to impress – It’s a huge step forward from the budget roots that Redmi started from.
While it may not be available for consumers on a worldwide basis anytime soon, the phone does reveal that Redmi is determined to be competitive anywhere, and with flair.
