Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Pro: Large Batteries, Big Displays, Mid-Range Pricing

The Redmi Turbo 5 series from Xiaomi is getting ready to launch, and all signs point to an official debut in January 2026. This new series is aimed directly at the mid-range smartphone segment, where competition is already very intense.

The lineup will include two models – Redmi Turbo 5 and Redmi Turbo 5 Pro. What makes this series different is Xiaomi’s clear strategy: offering two screen sizes with very large batteries, so users can choose between a compact phone or a big-display powerhouse without compromising on battery life.

According to certification details, the Redmi Turbo 5 is manufactured by Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., with production handled by Lens Technology (Xiangtan). Both models support fast charging up to 100W, along with smart charging protection to keep the battery healthy in daily use.

Redmi Turbo 5 Specifications (Standard Model)

This version is designed for users who want a balanced and comfortable phone:

• MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor
• 6.59-inch display
• Massive 7500mAh battery
• Focus on compact size with long battery backup

This model clearly targets users who prefer a slightly smaller phone but don’t want to worry about charging every day.

Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Specifications

The Pro version is built for power users:

• MediaTek Dimensity 9500E processor (close to Snapdragon 8 Elite-level performance)
• Large 6.85-inch display
• Huge 9000mAh battery, the biggest ever in a Xiaomi phone
• 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
• Symmetrical stereo speakers

This model is clearly aimed at gamers, heavy users, and anyone who wants a big screen with extreme battery life.

Despite the price-focused positioning, Xiaomi hasn’t cut corners on essentials. Both phones are expected to offer:

• IP68 dust and water resistance
• Dual rear camera setup: 50MP main + 8MP secondary
• Modern design with a strong focus on durability

These features are usually seen in more expensive phones, which strengthens Redmi’s value-for-money image.

Competition and pricing expectations

The Redmi Turbo 5 series is clearly targeting big-battery rivals like OnePlus Turbo models, especially the recently launched OnePlus Turbo 6. At the same time, upcoming competitors such as iQOO Z-series Turbo phones could make the fight even tougher.

If Xiaomi manages to price the entire Redmi Turbo 5 lineup under 2000 yuan, the series could become one of the strongest value-for-money options in its segment, especially with local subsidies further improving affordability.
