After the Redmi K80 lineup broke cover in China last November, the brand is now gearing up to set the stage for the Redmi K90 lineup.
This upcoming lineup is expected to include the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro. If the manufacturer plans to adopt the same strategy that it did last year, the smartphones will be rebranded as the Poco F8 Pro and F8 Ultra globally. For the unversed, the Redmi K80 was rebranded as the Poco F7 Pro globally, whilst the K80 Pro emerged worldwide as the F8 Ultra.
The IMEI listings do not reveal any monikers and only highlight the model numbers of the smartphones listed.

Recent listings show two Redmi handsets with the 2510DRK44C and 25102RKBEC model numbers. The former is associated with the internal code P11 and codename Annibale, whereas the latter features the internal code P11U and codename Myron. These are expected to be the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro, respectively.
Along with the Redmi offerings, two other Poco smartphones have also surfaced with the model numbers 2510DPC44G and 25102PCBEG. While the model numbers differ from those of the Redmi offerings, they share the same internal codes and code names as the Redmi smartphones. These listings are anticipated to be those of the Poco F8 Pro and F8 Ultra.
From the very little information available about both the lineups, the Redmi K90 and the corresponding Poco F8 Pro are likely to house the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor from Qualcomm. On the other hand, the K90 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset under their hoods.

Additionally, there may be a standard Poco F8 that might see the light of day in the second quarter of the next year.
