Redmi’s playbook in the mid-premium smartphone space has always been fairly straightforward. To keep the specifications as close to flagships as possible while keeping the price low enough for the majority of people to afford.
The upcoming Redmi Turbo 4 Pro doesn’t seem to break from that formula. If anything, it doubles down.
Set to launch in China on April 24, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro has leaked in full thanks to a China Telecom listing. We now have a pretty complete picture of what the phone is going to look like, how it’s specced, and where it’s likely headed next, both in terms of pricing and international branding.
1. First phone with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
Probably the most important footnote here is that the Turbo 4 Pro will be the first device to ship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip.
This new processor has a Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.2GHz along with seven Cortex-A720 cores—three running at 3.0GHz, two at 2.80GHz, and two at 2.02GHz. For graphics, it uses the Adreno 825 GPU, which sits just under the flagship-tier Adreno 830 of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
In practice, this should give the Turbo 4 Pro a noticeable leg up on performance. Wang Teng, Xiaomi’s General Manager for China Marketing, says that the Turbo 4 Pro will outperform competing devices from rival series like OnePlus’s Ace and iQOO’s Neo lines.
2. Specifications
Design-wise, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro looks eerily similar to the standard Redmi Turbo 4 (aka the Poco X7 Pro internationally). The phone will have a fairly flat 6.83-inch OLED display, metal mid-frame, and a slim 7.98mm profile.
The display is a 1.5K LTPS OLED panel (2800 x 1280 pixels) with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it houses a 20MP front-facing camera. On the back, there’s a dual-camera setup headlined by a 50MP OIS-assisted main sensor and an 8MP secondary lens (presumably ultra-wide).
Powering the device is a massive 7,550mAh battery. No prize for guessing, this is a silicon-carbon battery that will be paired with 90W fast charging.
There’s also an in-display fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, and an IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance. On the software side, the Turbo 4 Pro will ship with HyperOS 2 based on Android 15.
3. Storage-heavy, pricing-light
Thanks to the China Telecom listing, we also have the pricing details for the upcoming smartphone. Redmi will offer the Turbo 4 Pro in four configurations:
- 12GB + 256GB for 2,099 Yuan (~$288)
- 16GB + 256GB for 2,399 Yuan (~$328)
- 16GB + 512GB for 2,799 Yuan (~$384)
- 16GB + 1TB for 2,999 Yuan (~$410)
All variants will reportedly ship with UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5X RAM. Color options will include white, black, and green shades.
4. Global release under the Poco F7 name?
As usual, Redmi Turbo 4 Pro will likely be a China-exclusive phone. It is expected to launch globally under a different name. The standard Turbo 4 launched internationally as the Poco X7 Pro, and everything suggests the Turbo 4 Pro will follow suit as the Poco F7.
That makes sense when you look at Poco’s recent portfolio. The F series has always been the brand’s performance-focused line, and the Turbo 4 Pro easily fits that mold.
If Xiaomi sticks to its typical launch cadence, we might see the global variant announced in a month or two, depending on how fast it clears regional certifications.
5. What’s it up against
The Turbo 4 Pro is launching into an increasingly saturated space. There’s intense competition from Chinese brands themselves. Realme GT Neo 7, OnePlus Ace 5, and iQOO Neo 10 all fall under the same price bracket.
But Redmi has a couple of strategic advantages here. It will be the first to launch with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, and the battery size is also big enough to attract users.
