Redmi is reportedly working on the Redmi Turbo 5 series of smartphones. The lineup will include the Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Pro as successors to the existing Turbo 4 and Turbo 4 Pro, which were powered by the Dimensity 8400 Ultra and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. A recent leak by tipster Smart Pikachu reveals that Turbo 5 models will be powered by Dimensity chipsets.
Redmi Turbo 5 series incoming
According to the tipster, the Redmi Turbo 5 series will step up noticeably compared to its predecessor, and it will ship with a metal mid-frame and a large screen with rounded corners. The Turbo 5 models are said to use new MediaTek Dimensity 8 and 9 series chipsets.
He added that the higher-end variant, which appears to be the Turbo 5 Pro, may come with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. The battery is claimed to be among the biggest in the brand’s history, reportedly around 8,000mAh or more, with high-speed charging.
Some other leaks suggest that the Pro model may end up as the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max. While the standard Turbo 5 could be equipped with the upcoming Dimensity 8500 Ultra, the Pro Max edition could feature the Dimensity 9500e chip, which is also yet to go official.
Redmi Turbo 5 series specifications
According to reports, the Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Pro will have a 1.5K LTPS OLED screen and an 8,000mAh to 9,000 mAh battery with 100W charging. Both models are said to feature an IP68/69-rated chassis.
Recent reports have revealed that the Dimensity 8500 is built on TSMC’s 4nm process and uses an 8-core setup based on ARM’s A725 architecture. The prime apparently hits 3.4GHz, which is slightly higher than 3.25GHz on its predecessor. Whereas the remaining cores could also have higher clock speeds than before. On the graphics side, the Mali-G720 GPU is reportedly scaled up and running around 1.5GHz.
According to reports, the Dimensity 9500e leak comprises up to 3.73GHz and features a CPU configuration of 1 x Cortex-X925, 3 x Cortex-X4, and 4 x Cortex-A720 cores. It also includes a G925 MP12 GPU clocked at 1612MHz and is built on TSMC’s latest 3nm N3E process.
As far as the launch is concerned, the Redmi Turbo 5 series will debut in January in 2026.
