Xiaomi’s Redmi brand will expand its Turbo line with the new Turbo 5 Max smartphone. The upcoming handset will feature the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chip. Before the phone makes its official debut, the company has confirmed the battery capacity and design of the Redmi Turbo 5 Max.
The phone will feature a whopping 9,000mAh battery
In a fresh Weibo post, the company confirmed the Redmi Turbo 5 Max will pack a whopping 9,000mAh battery, keeping up with the current industry trend of bigger cells. In another Weibo post, they claimed the battery achieves a battery life that’s comparable to 10,000mAh.
For comparison, the company’s last year’s model, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, features a 7,550mAh cell. The more expensive Xiaomi 17 Ultra gets a 6,800mAh battery with 90W fast charging. Redmi has yet to confirm the charging speeds of the Turbo 5 Max.
Redmi Turbo 5 Max design also shown off
Besides confirming the battery size, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max design has also been revealed via official render images. We see the phone in the Ocean Breeze Blue colorway. The handset will feature a CNC metal frame and a fiberglass rear panel. There’s a pill-shaped camera module to house dual rear sensors. We see “OIS Cam” and “50MP” text engraved right beside the module.
The Redmi Turbo 5 Max gets a volume rocker and power button on the right edge. There’s a center-positioned punch-hole for the front camera. The display has flat edges, with minimal black bezel. The Redmi Turbo 5 Max will launch this month, but the exact date is under wraps. This comes after the brand unveiled the Redmi Note 15 lineup globally last month. We’ll know more about the new Turbo 5 Max in the coming days.
