Redmi‘s under development model with model number 24069RA21C has passed China’s 3C quality certification. This phone is expected to be the successor of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, launched back in March last year. Let’s go through what we know so far about this upcoming Redmi device.

Firstly, the 3C certification details reveal the charging capacity of the alleged Redmi Note 13 Turbo. This phone supports power input of up to 5-20VDC 6.1-4.5A(90W Max).

According to previous reports, the Note 13 Turbo could feature a 5000 mAh battery and a 1.5K OLED display. Regarding the chipset, the Redmi Note 13 Turbo / Poco F6 could feature the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip after the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, which has just released in China and will reportedly remain exclusive to China and India. In fact, Redmi has already announced the adoption of the new chip in one of its upcoming phones.

Speaking of the global version of this phone, the Poco F6, it is expected to be launched in April. Redmi’s product director and manager Wang Teng Thomas has previously said that their investment required to adopt the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip is significantly higher as compared to that of last year’s 7 series chip.

The predecessor Redmi Note 12 Turbo came with support for 67W charging, which makes the 90W charging of its alleged successor a significant upgrade. It also offered a 5000 mAh battery. This phone equipped the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chip and was available in storage and memory configuration starting from 8GB+356GB all the way up to 16GB+1TB. This phone was priced at 1,999 (~$290) for the 8GB + 256GB configuration while the 16GB + 1TB version came with a price tag of RMB 2,799 (~$405) at launch.

Now that Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset is out, Redmi has announced its plan to release a new smartphone equipped with this new processor.

The company has been tight-lipped on the specific model yet, but speculation points out that it could be the Redmi Note 13 Turbo. However, details about the smartphone are scarce at the moment.

Redmi introduced the Note 12 Turbo smartphone with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset in China back in March 2023. So initial rumors suggested that the Note 13 Turbo would naturally follow suit with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip.

However, a recent leak suggested that the Redmi Note 13 Turbo will actually launch with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. With Redmi’s announcement aligning with this leak, it appears that the Note 13 Turbo will indeed have the new Snapdragon 8-series chip.

Also to note, a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, called the Poco F5, was announced for the global market in May 2023.  So reports suggest that the upcoming Redmi Note 13 Turbo will remain exclusive to China as its predecessor and it will be launched globally as the Poco F6.

Apart from the new Redmi phone, Xiaomi has announced that the Civi 4 Pro smartphone will also be equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. While the launch date for the Civi 4 Pro has been set for March 21, it’s unclear whether or if the new Redmi phone will also debut on the same day.

Nevertheless, we’ll continue to provide updates on the matter as soon as any new information becomes available.

The post Redmi confirms its Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 phone, likely to be the Note 13 Turbo appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi is reportedly working on a new Note 13-series phone for the Chinese market. So far, the brand has launched multiple Note 13-series phones, such as the Redmi Note 13 5G, Note 13 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, Redmi Note 13R, and Redmi Note 13R Pro. The upcoming Redmi Note 13 Turbo will be the most powerful phone in the series, as it is now tipped to feature the Snapdragon 8-series chipset.

Redmi Note 13 Turbo chipset tipped

Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 12 Turbo with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset in March 2023 in China. A rebranded version of the phone, named the Poco F5, was announced for the global market in May 2023. Reports suggest that the upcoming Redmi Note 13 Turbo, which will be a China-exclusive phone, will be repackaged as the Poco F6 in the global market.

Qualcomm is expected to announce the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 on March 18 in China. The US-based chip maker is also expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is said to be an underclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (tentative name), in the coming days.

Initial reports suggested that the Note 13 Turbo might use the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 since the Note 12 Turbo used the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. However, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip will power the Note 13 Turbo, according to a leak by tipster Smart Pikachu. As can be seen in the image, the leaker has also claimed that Redmi’s new tablet is also coming soon. It remains to be seen whether the Note 13 Turbo and the new tablet break cover together in April.

Now that the Note 13 Turbo is said to arrive with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the Poco F6, being its rebranded version, may feature the same chip. Probably, it may debut in April or May on the global market.

In the Chinese market, the Redmi Note 13 Turbo will rival other Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 phones, such as the iQOO Z9 Turbo and the Realme GT Neo 6.

In recent days, there has been a flurry of rumors surrounding the much-anticipated POCO F6, with leaked specifications shedding light on the potential improvements over its predecessor, the POCO F5. The GSMChina team has managed to uncover some key details about the device, including the use of Qualcomm’s powerful SM8635 SOC.

POCO F6 coming soon

POCO F5 boasted a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SOC, essentially a refurbished SM8475, which was a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Renowned for delivering an exceptional gaming experience and enhanced imaging capabilities, the SM8475 left users impressed. Now, the POCO F6 is expected to take a step further by incorporating the yet-to-be-officially-announced SM8635 SOC. The official unveiling of the SM8635 is anticipated on March 18, and POCO F6 series is expected to launch in April.

Leaked information indicates that POCO F6 has made its mark in the IMEI Database, unveiling model numbers “24069PC21G” for the global version and “24069PC21I” for the Indian version. Notably, the POCO F6 is expected to be available in various regions, excluding Japan. An interesting twist lies in the expectation that Redmi Note 13 Turbo will precede POCO F6’s release, set to be introduced in the Chinese market with the model number “24069RA21C“. POCO F6 is speculated to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 13 Turbo.

Furthermore, the codename for the POCO F6 has been revealed as “Peridot.” Drawing inspiration from the yellow ruby, also known as Zebercet, Peridot is a type of olivine mineral with the intriguing alternative name of “snake stone.” This codenaming tradition aligns with Redmi Note series devices, which are typically named after gemstones.

While expectations are mounting for POCO F6 to be officially unveiled in April, it’s worth noting that these launch dates are not official information, but estimates provided by industry insiders. As March progresses, Redmi Note 13 Turbo is expected to make its debut, setting the stage for the unveiling of POCO F6.
