Xiaomi has officially revealed the new Sky Blue color option for the upcoming REDMI K90 Ultra, just one day before its China launch. The device will be introduced on June 30 at 7:00 PM China time, and the latest teaser confirms a low-saturation blue finish with a flowing metallic texture and a flat metal camera Deco. Since this is a REDMI K Ultra model, its global-market equivalent strategy points to the Xiaomi 17T Pro.
Sky Blue joins the premium metal design lineup
The newly announced Sky Blue version gives the REDMI K90 Ultra a softer and more premium visual identity compared with the previously teased Space Silver color. Xiaomi is focusing heavily on flagship-grade materials this year, using an aluminum alloy CNC frame, an anodized finish, and a silver/blue metal body design to make the phone feel more like a high-end performance flagship rather than only a gaming device.
The phone also uses a 6.83-inch flat display with ultra-narrow bezels and large rounded corners. According to the official teasers compiled by IT Home, the panel supports a 165Hz refresh rate, 3500 nits peak brightness, Xiaomi eye-protection technology, and native 165fps adaptation for more than 40 games.
