Redmi wants to talk about the battery life of the upcoming Turbo 5 Max. And it is doing so in a livestream scheduled for tomorrow.
The company announced on its official Weibo account that it will hold a “Turbo 5 Max Battery Endurance Challenge” tomorrow at 9 AM. The event will be live on Xiaomi’s official site, Weibo handle, and Douyin (Chinese TikTok)
According to Redmi, the event will be a head-to-head comparison test featuring phones in the same general price category. The brand is calling it the first “test to death” live stream of 2026. Quite dramatic, but okay.
The Turbo 5 Max features a 9000mAh battery. It’s the biggest battery phone from not just Redmi but Xiaomi as a whole, and the company really wants to show its prowess.
Redmi vs Honor
Redmi claims its new phone can go up against competing phones that advertise 9,000mAh and even 10,000mAh capacities. For those unaware, phones from Honor (Power 2 / Win / Win RT) are the only ones with a 10,000mAh cell.
According to Xiaomi President Lu Weibing, the phone should comfortably last a full day even under heavy use. Xiaomi also claims this battery reaches an energy density of 894Wh/L, which the company says is the highest in its industry.
Beyond the battery, there isn’t much official information yet. According to reports, the phone will be priced around 2,500 yuan, roughly $360
It is expected to come with a 1.5K OLED LTPS display and support for 100W fast charging. Powering the device is a Dimensity 9500s chipset that scored an impressive 3.29 million points on Geekbench. It has also appeared on Geekbench with 16GB of RAM and Android 16.
As for cameras, the device will likely ship with a 50MP wide and 8MP ultrawide combo on the back.
