Redmi Turbo 5 Specsheet
In a surprising twist, Redmi is planning to bring a Turbo branded product to India. This is in-line with their plans to bring Xiaomi 17T to India as well. The Redmi Turbo 5 coming to India is eaxctly similar to the one that is already up for sale in China.
This means power users get the exact same premium package, a phone with a 6.59″ 1.5K resolution AMOLED panel, and a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset. To keep the device running through days of heavy use, it packs a massive 7,560mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports 100W fast charging. On the photography side, you will find a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization alongside an 8MP ultra-wide lens, while a 20MP front shooter handles selfies.
