Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Tipped to Feature a 6.8-Inch Display and 8,000mAh Battery

Redmi Turbo 4 Pro with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC and 7,550mAh battery was launched in China earlier this year. Now, the Xiaomi sub-brand seems to be working on the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro as its successor. While the company is yet to confirm its existence, a new leak has surfaced out of China indicating that the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro will have a larger battery unit and a 6.8-inch display. It is expected to debut in global markets outside China as the Poco F8.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has claimed on Weibo that an upcoming Redmi smartphone will feature a 6.8-inch flat screen and a battery capacity exceeding 8,000mAh. The tipster doesn't specifically mention the moniker of the phone, but the comments of the post point to a Redmi phone launching in 2026, which is likely to be the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro. The tipster might also be hinting at a successor to the Redmi Turbo 4 or Redmi K80 Ultra.

Notably, the Poco F7, which was unveiled in India and other global markets recently, shared a lot of its hardware with the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. Therefore, it's likely that the upcoming Poco F8 will be based on the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro. If that's the case, it could also feature an 8,000mAh battery and a 6.8-inch flat display, as suggested by the tipster. 

The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro was launched in China in April this year. The Xiaomi sub-brand introduced the Poco F7 5G in India last month with a price tag of Rs. 31,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model.
