Xiaomi Redmi K90 Max Shatters Early Benchmarks, Outpacing Today’s Flagship Phones

Xiaomi is just days away from unveiling a fresh wave of Redmi devices, and the company has already started building momentum ahead of its next launch event in China. Xiaomi recently confirmed the Redmi K Pad 2 will debut on April 21, and it also revealed that the same event will introduce the Redmi K90 Max—one of the most anticipated performance-focused Redmi phones of the year.

Even before the official announcement, the Redmi K90 Max has started appearing in early benchmark listings on Geekbench, giving fans a preview of what to expect. The listing aligns with Xiaomi’s own teaser claims that the phone is powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset paired with a D2 discrete graphics chip. That combination is clearly aimed at people who care about raw speed, smoother gaming, and strong sustained performance.

According to the Geekbench results, the Redmi K90 Max is already delivering standout numbers compared with other smartphones built on the same Dimensity 9500 platform. In fact, these early scores suggest it’s outperforming every Dimensity 9500-powered device tested so far, including the Oppo Find X9 Pro—an impressive signal that Xiaomi’s performance tuning (and the added discrete GPU) may be giving it a real advantage.

With the April 21 launch date approaching, the Redmi K90 Max is shaping up to be a headline device for anyone shopping for a flagship-level Android phone focused on speed and gaming power, especially if these benchmark results translate into real-world performance once the phone becomes official.
