In a move that could redefine smartphone zoom photography, the upcoming Redmi K90 Pro is rumored to come equipped with the powerful OmniVision OV50Q 50MP periscope telephoto camera sensor. If true, this marks a significant leap in imaging capability for the K-series, especially in the zoom department.
According to recent leaks circulating online, Redmi is preparing to step up its camera game by integrating the OmniVision OV50Q, a high-resolution periscope sensor designed to deliver crisp, detailed shots even at long-range zoom levels. This advanced sensor supports high optical zoom, enhanced low-light performance, and offers better stabilization compared to previous-gen setups.
The Redmi K90 Pro, expected to launch later this year in China before potentially heading to global markets, is shaping up to be a serious contender in the premium mid-range segment. Earlier rumors have suggested the device may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with a high-refresh-rate AMOLED display and blazing-fast charging speeds — but the addition of this new camera sensor could be its standout feature.
If Redmi indeed integrates the OV50Q periscope module, the K90 Pro would become one of the first in its segment to offer flagship-grade zoom photography at a competitive price. It also signals Redmi’s growing focus on camera-centric innovation, likely aimed at attracting users who demand pro-level photography on a budget.
While Redmi has yet to officially confirm these details, the camera upgrade hints at a clear strategy to differentiate the K90 Pro from its predecessor — and potentially steal the spotlight from rival brands in the same segment.
