The Redmi Turbo 3 is the first smartphone under the brand’s new Turbo series. But this lineup has already existed for two years under the Redmi Note series.

The first-gen model was called the Redmi Note 11T Pro. It was followed by the Redmi Note 12 Turbo.

These two were the most powerful devices in their generations. Their legacy continues with the latest Redmi Turbo 3.

Additionally, the newest model is different from its predecessors in many ways. It brings upgrades in several categories. Let’s check out how it differs from its forerunners.

2. More Powerful Chip

The Redmi Turbo 3 is the most powerful smartphone in the lineup so far. It houses the recently unveiled Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The aforementioned silicon is supported by a 4800mm2 cooling system. It helps in maintaining thermals.

Whereas last year’s Redmi Note 12 Turbo features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chip, LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage. Finally, the older Redmi Note 11T Pro has the same type of RAM and storage but a less powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC.
