Xiaomi hikes Redmi K90 Pro Max, Redmi Turbo 5 series price in China

Xiaomi is raising the prices of some Redmi phones in China, and the changes are taking effect today. The company confirmed it’s bumping prices on three of its higher-end models: the Redmi K90 Pro Max, Redmi Turbo 5, and Redmi Turbo 5 Max.

According to the brand, the increases are due to the “continued sharp rise” in the cost of key components, especially global memory chips.

Redmi Price hike announcement

Here are the new effective prices

The most direct increase is to the Redmi K90 Pro Max, which now costs 200 yuan more across all configurations. The base 12GB + 256GB variant is now priced at 4,199 yuan, up from its earlier launch price of 3,999 yuan. Higher-end variants follow the same pattern, with the top 16GB + 1TB model now listed at 5,499 yuan, compared to its initial price of 5,299 yuan.

Things are a little less straightforward with the Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Max. The prices have gone up, but not because Xiaomi is raising them directly. Instead, the company has ended its Spring Festival promotional discounts, effectively snapping both phones back to their standard retail pricing.

However, Xiaomi is still offering a 200 yuan subsidy on the 512GB variants, which slightly softens the impact for buyers considering higher storage options.

This means the Redmi Turbo 5 now starts at 2,299 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model, while the Turbo 5 Max begins at 2,499 yuan for the same configuration. Previously, both models were available at lower “initial sale” prices during promotional periods.

None of this comes as much of a surprise. Memory prices have been trending upward for a while now, and manufacturers usually pass at least some of those costs down the line.
