After debuting in China earlier this year, the Redmi Turbo 5 has officially launched in India. The smartphone arrives as what seems like a rebranded Poco X8 Pro, featuring a similar design and specifications. This is the first performance-focused Redmi phone in the Indian market after a long time, bringing a flagship-level Dimensity processor, a fast 1.5K OLED display and a massive battery capacity to the table.
Redmi Turbo 5 Specifications and Features
Right off the bat, the most striking feature of the Redmi Turbo 5 is its design. It follows the same elegant and minimalistic look of the Poco X8 Pro with the dual-tone glass back, brushed aluminium mid-frame and dual floating lenses.
We also see red accents around the power button and camera rings, adding a bit of personality to the smartphone. It also retains the RGB back-light, which is placed under the camera ring and can glow to notify of incoming calls, app notifications, music playback and even sync with games.
All in all, since the phone is most likely a rebrand of the Poco X8 Pro, the specifications remain the same as well. From the Dimensity 8500 Ultra (a better-tuned version of the Dimensity 8500 chipset) to a 6.5-inch 1.5K OLED display, here is a quick rundown of the key Redmi Turbo 5 specs:
- 6.59-inch 1.5K 120 Hz OLED display with 3500 nits peak brightness
