According to a post today, the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro — Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone — is expected to launch before the Lunar New Year. The blogger claims that this generation is more aggressively defined: it will feature the only “flagship‑class chip in its tier,” with tuned, fully configured hardware, resulting in a significant leap in performance.
The new phone is rumored to ship with Xiaomi’s largest-in-class battery and 100-watt fast charging (potentially the highest in this price segment), aiming to deliver heavy usage with no worries. It’s expected to succeed the “K-series standard flagships” in positioning, targeting roughly the 2,500 RMB price bracket.
Regarding the processing platform — in response to questions about whether it will use a standard Snapdragon 8 Gen5 or a Dimensity-series chip — the blogger reportedly stated, “Xiaomi is not using Snapdragon 8 Gen5 for now.”
More details: The Redmi Turbo 5 Pro is rumored to feature a metal frame, support 100W wired fast charging, and pack a large 9000mAh battery. It is also expected to include peripherals such as a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and full-level waterproofing. Other rumored features: symmetric stereo speakers, minimalist industrial design, aiming for “all‑round defense.”
For comparison, the predecessor, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, was launched with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen4 chipset, a 6.83″ 1.5K LTPS flat screen, a full-metal rear camera module, dual 50MP + 8MP rear cameras, and supported 90W wired charging, as well as 22.5W reverse charging. It claimed to be able to charge multiple devices — including watches, earbuds, and headphones — from the phone’s battery.
