Redmi is all set to bring its Turbo series to India for the first time. The company has officially confirmed that the Redmi Turbo 5 will launch in the country this month. With this smartphone, Redmi appears to be targeting users who want flagship-level performance, a large battery, and fast charging without moving into the premium flagship segment.
The phone has already launched in China, giving us a fairly good idea of what to expect from the Indian variant. Redmi has also confirmed a few key details ahead of the launch, including the processor, storage technology, and cooling system.
Redmi Turbo 5 India launch date, availability
The Redmi Turbo 5 is scheduled to launch in India on June 16. The smartphone will be sold through Amazon India, with a dedicated microsite already live on the platform.
Redmi has also teased the handset in multiple colour options. While the company initially showcased Black and White variants, reports suggest a Green option could also be part of the lineup.
The launch is notable because it marks the debut of the Turbo series in India, a lineup that has largely focused on performance-oriented smartphones in China.
Redmi Turbo 5 specifications, features
Redmi has confirmed that the Turbo 5 will be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset, which also powers the premium Xiaomi 17T. According to the company, the processor delivers an AnTuTu score of more than 2.3 million points. According to Redmi, the Turbo 5 will offer a better performance than the Vivo V70 and OPPO Reno 15 in terms of AnTuTu benchmark.
The smartphone will feature LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Redmi has also confirmed support for up to 24GB RAM, although 12GB of that is expected to come through virtual RAM expansion.
Redmi is also bringing its 3D Ice-Loop Cooling system with the Turbo 5, which should help keep temperatures in check during long gaming sessions.
The Chinese variant features a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 480Hz touch sampling rate, and peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits. The Indian version is expected to offer a similar panel.
Battery is another area where Redmi seems to be going all in. The Turbo 5 packs a 7,560mAh battery, which the company claims is the largest ever on a Redmi smartphone. It also supports 100W fast charging.
On the camera front, the phone is expected to feature a 50MP Sony primary sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera. For selfies and video calls, it could get a 20MP front camera.
Reports also suggest the handset may come with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
