Xiaomi held an event today to announce new Redmi products. The highlight is the new Redmi Turbo 5 Max; however, the company also announced a more affordable (yet powerful) Redmi Turbo 5. We will talk about the latter in this article.
Redmi Turbo 5 Specifications
The Turbo 5 is the first to debut MediaTek’s new Dimensity 8500 chip. Built on a 4nm process, the chip is paired with LPDDR5 memory and UFS 4.1 storage. To keep thermals under control, the phone uses the same 3D ice-sealed circulating cold pump cooling system found in Xiaomi’s flagship phones.
The phone also has a new “Rampage Engine” to better tune CPU, GPU, and even DDR frequencies for more stable performance during heavy use.
Redmi has packed in a 7,560mAh battery to keep things running, which supports 100W wired and 27W wireless charging.
On the front, you get a 6.59-inch AMOLED display equally as good as premium flagships. Xiaomi says the phone uses its Super Sunlight Screen, built with M10 luminescent material and capable of reaching a peak brightness of 3,500 nits. It also supports Xiaomi’s eye protection features that reduce eye strain during long viewing sessions.
Design-wise, the Redmi Turbo 5 has a more refined look than earlier Turbo models. It has a metal frame, glass back with a clean vertical camera module, narrow bezels, and large, rounded corners. The phone comes in Shadow Black, Light Sea Green, and Auspicious Cloud White.
Ingress protection includes IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K water and dust resistance. The Turbo 5 also features kilometer-level wireless connectivity, improved Apple device compatibility, and support for file transfer and notification sharing across platforms.
The Turbo 5 is not really a camera phone, thus it only features a 50MP main and an 8MP ultrawide on the back, and a 20MP lens for selfies.
Redmi Turbo 5 Price and Availability
Pricing for the Turbo 5 starts at 1,999 yuan (~ $287) for the base 12/256GB model, and goes up to 2,599 yuan (~ $375). Sales begin immediately in the mainland.
