Redmi Turbo 5 India Launch to Happen Soon
The official Redmi India website now has a dedicated microsite confirming the arrival of the Redmi Turbo 5 to India. It is being positioned as a top-tier performance mid-ranger with a focus on processor, display, cameras and battery.

Redmi Turbo 5 Price in India (Expected)
In China, the Redmi Turbo 5 starts from 1,999 Chinese Yuan (approximately Rs 26,000). However, in India, there is a possibility the smartphone will launch for under Rs 40,000. At that price, it will go head-to-head with the likes of the Poco X8 Pro and the OnePlus Nord 6.
