Redmi and POCO flagship smartphones may get camera upgrades next year. Redmi K90 Pro and POCO F8 Ultra models with advanced camera technology for better magnified shots were rumored to be coming.

According to Weibo posts, the Redmi K90 Pro and POCO F8 Ultra will feature better zoom cameras. The K90 Pro model will receive several upgrades, including an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the display and a periscope telephoto lens. As the POCO F8 Ultra is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi K90 Pro, this camera technology could also be available on the new F8 Ultra.

The Redmi K80 Pro was launched with a 50MP telephoto shooter and 2.5x optical zoom. It will likely offer improved optical zoom. A leak describes upcoming flagship smartphones from Chinese OEM sub-brands. These next-generation models may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor. The specific name was not mentioned, but this may refer to the OnePlus 14, Realme GT 8 Pro, and Redmi K90.

According to 91Mobiles, the early engineering prototypes will also include periscope telephoto cameras. Since the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ offers similar technology, adding a periscope telephoto lens to the Redmi K series was only a matter of time.
