Qualcomm recently introduced the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, aimed at affordable flagship smartphones. At launch, the company confirmed that brands like iQOO, Redmi, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Meizu would release devices powered by this new processor in China. Rumours had pointed to the iQOO Z10 Turbo and Redmi Turbo 4 Pro as the first smartphones to feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, with April launches expected. While iQOO has already confirmed its Z10 Turbo will debut this month, Redmi has yet to make an official announcement about the Turbo 4 Pro.
Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s launch could be delayed
According to reports, Redmi had initially planned to launch the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro on April 17 in China. However, recent reports suggest that the delay in launching the Turbo 4 Pro is linked to a tragic accident involving a Xiaomi SU7 vehicle, which occurred on March 29 in Tongling, Anhui province. The crash claimed the lives of three young women and has drawn significant media and public attention.
According to sources, the SU7 was operating in NOA assisted driving mode at around 116 km/h when it hit a kerb and a water-filled barrier during a road construction detour, after which the vehicle caught fire. Xiaomi is cooperating fully with the ongoing police investigation but has not yet accessed the accident vehicle. The cause of the fire and whether the doors could be opened after the crash are still under review.
