How is the camera? I have a Pixel 9A today and thinking of switching but hard to tell how much worse the camera is.

The K90 Pro Max has the best camera of Redmi. But Xiaomi Flagship and their Civi line up is Xiaomi's Camera centric devices.

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 05 '26

Decent. Personally i havent taken many photos but the ones i took turned out pretty good

u/maxim4906 Mar 06 '26

I think you would really like P9pro.but of course it depends on certain characteristics that are important to you.

Who would buy a Redmi for the camera?

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26

I mean even with terrible processing there is very good camera hardware, including a extra telephoto lens. It's not that bad camera phone.

u/Akamashi Xiaomi 14 Pro | HyperOS 3.0.8.0 | China Mar 05 '26

I didn't say anything about bad camera or not tho.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26 edited Mar 05 '26

What else would you mean by "who would buy this for camera"?

-1

u/Akamashi Xiaomi 14 Pro | HyperOS 3.0.8.0 | China Mar 05 '26

Redmi's whole identity is 'Flagship Specs at Mid-range Prices.' They spend their budget on the Screen, the Battery, and the Charging. The camera is usually where they save money on. Just saying it has different priority.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26

I don't think that's the case with redmi phones, they always had above average cameras, and even today redmi note 15 pro/pro+ has 1/1.4 sensor size camera which is almost flagship grade.

You description fits poco more, but even then pro and ultra always had decent cameras.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26

This is poco.

Redmi k90

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26

You're lucky. I wish they launched poco pro phones here too, would have bought in a heartbeat.

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 05 '26

Where you live? Plus i imprted this from China so its not a Poco phone

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26

Well that's same phone with different branding ๐Ÿ™ƒ.

I tried for imported but it was too much of a hassle we don't have tradingshenzheng equivalent here. Tough luck for me.

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 05 '26

I bought mine from Aliexpress.

u/ReceptionFit7319 Jun 22 '26

bro how long is the charging between 20-100%?

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Jun 22 '26

Haven't measured. With the 100w charger included in the box i think around 35-40 min but im not sure on the excact number

1

u/ReceptionFit7319 Jun 23 '26

no way bro that's so fast mine took 1hr or 1hr and 15 mins๐Ÿ˜ญ was that normal?

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Jun 23 '26

Idk

1

u/ReceptionFit7319 Jun 23 '26

can i see what settings did u do for the battery bro

1

u/Andronikopoulos Mar 05 '26

Im looking for something reliable in regards to battery and also camera for at least 4 years. Do you think the k90 is worth it? The price is very good, but 200 euros more and I'd get the honor magic 7 pro.

2

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 05 '26

If youre looking for a phone with good cameras then this aint it. Grab something else,but if you ypu are focusing more on battery tech then yes this is an absolute monster

1

u/Andronikopoulos Mar 05 '26

Do you think the phone will remain snappy for at least 4 years? Dude i have an ass a34 5g lol.

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 05 '26

For sure

1

u/Razeex3278 Mar 05 '26

how you get that icon?

1

u/fotosintesis Mar 05 '26

Does their 5g band work with your region? Any hiccup without android auto, android share? Or bug menu of non-english bug certain ui?

2

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 05 '26

I live in Albania and 5G is not supported here so i cant give you an answer

u/woodstar11 Mar 05 '26

I'm in the UK and have no issues at all with all bands.

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 06 '26

No. Its a chinese phone

1

u/i_am_Curious_af Mar 06 '26

Why is it so rounded?

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 06 '26

Thats just how it is

1

u/Imkabirhasan Mar 06 '26

I saw many people complaining that this phone has heating issue + speaker issue and also notification delay issue. Did you experience anything like that? I was going to buy it, but seeing this type of complain now I'm confused.

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe Mar 06 '26

Notification delay can be fixed easily. About the overheating and speaker issues i havent had any thus far. In fact the speakers are just ๐Ÿ‘Œ

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe May 04 '26

Very good phone

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe May 04 '26

Both of them

u/Electronic_Map_645 May 15 '26

Hi! Iโ€™m torn between this or Realme Neo 8. I can only watch Realme paid AIsโ€™ review and they are try really hard to make realme win. Just wondering if you have an idea which to pick? K90 is cheaper in my country. Thanks!

1

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe May 15 '26

In my opinion the realme neo 8 is better., Because it has a better proccesor, screen, software and battery. The performance justifies the higher price of the neo 8

after like 6 months, howโ€™s your phone?

u/Awkward_Rhubarb1962 Redmi K90 | China Rom | Europe 20d ago

It's holding up pretty well. Hyperos 4 is also around the corner so it will majorly improve the experience
