Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) leaked the key specifications of an upcoming mid-range phone from a sub-brand. Gizmochina reports that these are the specifications of the Redmi Turbo 5. If this is true, then the handset might feature a 6.5-inch LTPS flat display with 1.5K resolution. It is tipped to pack a 7,500mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging support, which is significantly larger than the Turbo 4's 6,550mAh battery.

Moreover, the purported Redmi Turbo 5 is said to sport a metal frame and an in-display optical fingerprint scanner for security. The phone might have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
