Redmi K90 Max confirmed for April launch in China alongside K Pad 2, Pad 2 SE tablet and Book Pro 2026 laptops
Redmi has officially confirmed the K90 Max as the third model in its current K90 series and set it for a China launch later this month.
The device joins the standard K90 and K90 Pro Max models that debuted in October 2025 and shifts the lineup toward dedicated gaming hardware with a built-in active cooling fan, the first such system in any Redmi or Xiaomi Group smartphone.
The company revealed the K90 Max design on Weibo in a Space Silver finish that features an all-metallic flat back panel and a prominent rear camera module paired with a large ventilation grille for the cooling fan.
An additional air outlet sits below the camera array. Despite the active cooling hardware the phone carries an IP69 rating.
Redmi positioned the 18.1-millimeter fan as larger than competing solutions and claimed it delivers 1.3 times greater airflow while reducing internal temperatures by up to 10 degrees Celsius in 100 seconds during sustained gaming loads.
The display runs at 165 hertz, shoulder triggers are included, and the phone receives gaming-specific optimizations for touch response, network stability and in-game audio.
It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 as the primary chipset in a dual-chip configuration. Reservations opened immediately through Xiaomi’s official online store in China.
The same event will introduce the Redmi K Pad 2 tablet. Redmi shared official images and confirmed an 8.8-inch panel with 165 hertz refresh rate powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset.
Three color options were listed: Deep Black, Electric Purple and Space Silver. Reservations for the tablet also went live on the Xiaomi store.
A more affordable companion model, the Redmi Pad 2 SE, will debut at the same time. It packs a 9.7-inch 2K display with high brightness and TÜV Rheinland triple eye-protection certification.
The metal unibody chassis houses a 7,600 mAh battery that the company says can deliver up to 70.2 days of standby time in internal testing. White and gray finishes were shown in official renders.
Redmi also confirmed the Book Pro 2026 laptop series for the April event in 14-inch and 16-inch variants.
Both models use Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H Panther Lake processor with 16 cores and up to 180 TOPS of AI performance paired with fast LPDDR5X memory.
The laptops emphasize high battery capacity and ecosystem integration with the new phone and tablets.
All four products target the Chinese market first with no global availability details released yet.
The bundled launch expands Redmi’s presence across gaming phones, compact high-refresh tablets, budget tablets and performance laptops in a single event scheduled for the second half of April.
