The teaser images shared online also reveal part of the design. The Indian version looks almost identical to the model already available in China. It features a flat rear panel with two separate rear camera rings placed vertically on the top-left side, along with an LED flash module beside them.
The device has also been shown in a black colour option. Volume buttons and the power button are placed on the right side, while the left frame appears clean.
Redmi Turbo 5 specifications (expected)
Since the Indian variant is expected to be similar to the Chinese model, the specifications are also likely to remain mostly unchanged.
The Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to come with a 6.59-inch AMOLED display that supports 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Reports also mention support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset. It is also expected to focus more on gaming and stable day-to-day performance, which is likely why Xiaomi is positioning it in the performance-focused mid-range segment.
In China, the phone launched with up to 16GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. The Chinese version packs a massive 7,560mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging.
For cameras, reports suggest the phone could get a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS support. It is also tipped to feature IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. A metal frame and glass back design are also expected.
