Redmi Turbo 5 Launches with Massive 7560mAh Battery
Redmi Turbo 5 has officially landed, and it is already making waves as a battery powerhouse. Following the launch of the Max variant, Redmi has now introduced the standard Turbo 5 in China.

Combining a slim design with an enormous battery, the Turbo 5 is built for users who demand long-lasting performance without the bulk.
World First Performance and Cooling
The heart of the Redmi Turbo 5 is the cutting-edge Dimensity 8500-Ultra SoC. To ensure the phone stays cool during intensive gaming or multitasking, Redmi integrated the same advanced vapor chamber cooling system found in the more expensive Max model. It also features top-tier hardware internal specs, including LPDDR5 Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring lightning-fast app opening speeds and smooth system navigation on Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 3, based on Android 16.
Stunning AMOLED Display
While slightly smaller than its sibling, the 6.59-inch AMOLED display on the Turbo 5 is a visual treat. It offers a 1.5K resolution and a buttery smooth 120Hz refresh rate. With a peak brightness of 3,500 nits, outdoor visibility is never an issue. The 12-bit panel supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+, making it a perfect companion for streaming high-quality content with vibrant, accurate colors.
The 7,560mAh Battery King
The standout feature of the Redmi Turbo 5 is undoubtedly its massive 7,560mAh battery. Despite packing such a large cell, the phone maintains a sleek profile at just 8.18mm thick. To get you back in action quickly, it supports 100W wired fast charging. Additionally, it features 27W reverse wired charging, allowing you to use your phone as a power bank to charge other accessories or phones in an emergency.
