Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Pro Chipset Details Emerge Ahead of Launch

Rumors about the Redmi Turbo 5 series have been circulating for months. Considering all the teasers, these devices are promising solid performance and jaw-dropping specs. The latest leak of 2025 provides a clearer picture of what to expect.

According to a tipster on Weibo, the standard Redmi Turbo 5 will carry the MediaTek Dimensity 8500, while the Turbo 5 Pro will run on the more powerful Dimensity 9500e chipset.

It’s important to note that neither of these chipsets have been officially announced yet.

Launch timing remains uncertain. Some sources suggest the series could debut alongside the Xiaomi 17 Ultra on December 25, while others hint at a January 2026 release. Regardless of the exact date, the Turbo 5 series is shaping up to offer a compelling mix of performance, battery life, and premium design.

According to previous leaks, the Turbo 5 will sport a 6.6-inch display with 1.5K resolution, delivering sharp visuals for media consumption and daily tasks. The device is also expected to include a metal frame for added durability and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for secure, fast unlocking. Powering the phone will be a 7,500mAh battery, which should provide extended usage without frequent recharging.

The Redmi Turbo 5 Pro is a step above, with a huge 9,000mAh battery that supports 100W wired charging. The battery is one the biggest in Redmi's history, and the device can recharge quickly with this rate. The phone also comes with a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a sturdy metal frame, and an LTPS OLED display with 1.5K resolution. These features make the Pro model ideal for users who want strong performance, long battery life, and a premium feel.

With powerful new MediaTek chips, big batteries, and sharp displays, the Redmi Turbo 5 series looks set to compete strongly in the mid-to-high-end phone market. More details should come out in the next few weeks before the official launch.

According to the rumors, the Redmi Turbo and Turbo 5 Pro could be rebadged as POCO X8 Pro and POCO X8 Pro Max once they launch globally.
