Xiaomi has lifted the China prices of three Redmi phones, with the new numbers taking effect today. The Redmi K90 Pro Max gets a straight 200 yuan increase across every configuration, while the Redmi Turbo 5 and Redmi Turbo 5 Max are effectively back at their normal retail pricing after promotional discounts ended. Memory chips are doing what memory chips do best: getting expensive and making everyone else explain it.
Redmi K90 Pro Max new prices
The sharpest adjustment hits the Redmi K90 Pro Max. Its 12GB + 256GB model now costs 4,199 yuan, up from 3,999 yuan at launch, and the 16GB + 1TB version has moved to 5,499 yuan from 5,299 yuan. Xiaomi did not frame this as a special edition overhaul or a feature bump; it is simply passing on higher component costs.
Redmi Turbo 5 pricing after discounts end
The Turbo 5 pair is a little less dramatic, but the bill still comes due. Xiaomi says the apparent increase comes from ending Spring Festival promotions, not from a fresh list-price hike. Even so, the Turbo 5 now starts at 2,299 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB version, and the Turbo 5 Max begins at 2,499 yuan for the same setup.
There is one small cushion: Xiaomi is keeping a 200 yuan subsidy on the 512GB versions. That is enough to soften the blow for storage-hungry buyers, but not enough to change the basic picture. With memory costs still climbing, this kind of pricing reset is exactly what rivals tend to do too, whether they call it a ”promotion ending” or a ”pricing adjustment.”
What buyers should expect next
For shoppers, the timing is awkward but hardly surprising. Component inflation tends to hit mid-range and premium phones first, because that is where manufacturers have the most room to absorb or disguise the increase. If memory pricing stays elevated, expect more brands to lean on shorter discounts, thinner bundles, or smaller-launch promotions instead of holding the line on sticker prices.
