Redmi K90 Max design details
The Redmi K90 Max in ‘Space Silver’ has been officially unveiled on Weibo. The design features a metallic finish with a large camera island. While some may compare it to the iPhone 17 Pro’s design, the Redmi K90 Max still manages to stand out with its own flair. The dual-camera setup is lined up vertically on the side with a circular cooling fan on the other end. It’s a minimalist look despite the visible cooling fan.
Redmi says that the K90 Max’s cooling system has a high-speed cooling mode with noise levels as low as 32dB. It’s also claimed to reduce the temperature by 10 degrees in 100 seconds. The smartphone also features an aluminum alloy frame with an ultra-narrow bezel design. Adding to this are IP66/IP68/IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
It looks like the Redmi K90 Max has been thoughtfully designed for heavy gaming needs with its cooling system, which should help with heat dissipation. Although targeted for power users, the Redmi K90 Max’s design still looks minimalist.
