Redmi’s Turbo series continues to attract attention with its models positioned above the middle segment. The new addition of the series, Redmi Turbo 5, is already being talked about with its technical features. The device’s appearance on China’s radio certification database suggests that the launch is not far away. With this development, the hardware details of the phone are also shared by various sources.
On the screen side, Redmi Turbo 5 will appear with a flat OLED panel. The corners of the panel will be rounded and 1.5K support will be offered on the resolution side. This structure, which prioritizes visual experience, is at a level that will satisfy users in terms of clarity and color accuracy. In addition to all these, the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor integrated under the screen makes a significant difference in terms of security. The previous model used an optical sensor; This new approach provides a faster and more stable authentication process. In this way, the device will offer a directly noticeable improvement in the user experience.
Redmi Turbo 5 will come with an ultrasonic sensor display
The new sensor stands out not only in speed but also in its resistance to environmental conditions. Recognition occurs even when the fingertip is wet or dusty, providing significant convenience in daily use. This development provides a direct solution to some of the basic problems encountered in under-screen biometric systems to date. However, some users who are accustomed to an optical sensor may require an adaptation period. However, looking at the overall picture, this technological transition is expected to be welcomed positively. Beyond security, this sensor structure will also increase the overall premium perception of the device.
On the design side, no major changes are expected. According to sources, Redmi Turbo 5 will appear before users with a simple case with similar lines as its predecessor. This choice shows that the brand maintains its minimalist design approach. However, a very ambitious hardware is hidden under the simple exterior structure. So visual simplicity does not mean technical inadequacy. Thanks to this structure, the device will appeal to both young users and users who care about technical features.
Battery capacity stands out as one of the most talked about aspects of this model. This high-capacity battery of 9000 mAh will provide advantages not only in one day but also in longer-term usage scenarios. A battery of this size can be considered a significant plus, especially for those who work intensively outside or play mobile games. However, what effects such a large battery will have on the weight and thickness of the device is also an issue that needs to be evaluated. Technical measurements are expected to be announced to get clear answers to this question. Still, these values are already interesting for users who prioritize battery life.
Another detail that stands out as much as the battery capacity is fast charging support. Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to come with 100W fast charging technology. Thanks to this feature, it will be possible to charge the huge battery in a short time. While the time users spend in front of the socket will decrease, the pace of mobile life will not be interrupted. This structure appears to have been carefully planned for both efficiency and user satisfaction. Its effects on charging safety and battery health will become clearer over time through user experiences.
Some important details also emerged on the durability side. It is claimed that the device can receive IP68 or IP69 certification. This means serious protection against water and dust. These certifications are of great importance, especially for those who work outdoors or use their devices in intense outdoor conditions. Thus, the device will be more resistant to the negative environmental effects encountered in daily life. Turbo 5 is expected to give confidence to the user not only on the hardware side but also on the durability side.
On the processor front, no official statement has been made yet. However, some leaks indicate that MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset may be included in this model. This processor is expected to be seen first in the Oppo Reno 15 Pro model. This performance-oriented chipset can take the Turbo 5 to a competitive position in the mid-upper segment. If this information is confirmed, it will be possible to provide a strong experience on both the gaming and multitasking side. As this detail becomes clear, performance comparisons will become inevitable.
Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to be introduced in China in the first quarter of 2026. It is said that it may be offered in the global market under the Poco brand, under the name Poco X8 Pro. This approach was a strategy followed in Redmi models before and was seen to work in certain markets. This name change seems understandable, as the Poco brand is more well-known, especially in regions such as Europe and India. However, it is not yet clear whether the technical features will remain exactly the same in both models. This detail will become clear after the presentation.
