Mi fans say the price of the REDMI K90 Max is simply unbeatable: they believe Xiaomi is selling it at a loss.
Fast Technology reported that a Xiaomi fan commented that the price of the REDMI K90 Max was simply unbeatable. In response, a REDMI product manager admitted that they were genuinely selling at a loss.
The REDMI K90 Max starts at 2999 yuan, but after government subsidies, the price drops to just 2549.15 yuan. Regarding the question of whether this product is profitable, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing bluntly stated that it “loses money.”
This exceptional price-performance ratio triggered a buying frenzy as soon as the phone hit the market. According to official data, the phone broke the sales record for new phones in the 3,000 to 4,000 yuan price range within just 4 hours of its initial sale, demonstrating an extremely enthusiastic market response.
As the most powerful performance champion in the K series ever, the REDMI K90 Max is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 flagship platform. This chip is based on TSMC’s 3nm process, with a main frequency of up to 4.21GHz, and its comprehensive benchmark score exceeds 4.16 million.
To further enhance graphics performance, the chassis integrates the D2 dedicated gaming graphics chip. Compared to the previous generation, its graphics performance is improved by 33%, while power consumption is reduced by 42%. Combined with LPDDR5X Ultra and UFS 4.1 storage, it can easily handle all kinds of demanding games.
This phone is also Xiaomi’s first to feature a built-in active air-cooling system. It incorporates a massive 18.1mm fan, with a diameter exceeding mainstream solutions by approximately 6%, providing robust temperature protection for the sustained high-frequency output of core hardware.
What’s even more remarkable is that this suspended air-cooling architecture employs an independent, sealed airflow design. This means that while achieving efficient heat dissipation, the phone still retains its full IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance capabilities, achieving a perfect balance between powerful cooling and comprehensive protection.
