The smartphone market has become a little strange lately. Phones that once felt like obvious value-for-money picks are getting more expensive. This is primarily due to the rising cost of memory and storage components, which, in turn, is pushing manufacturers to either hike prices or compromise on hardware. The sub-Rs. 40,000 price bracket has taken one of the biggest ...

Xiaomi's Redmi Turbo series has finally made its debut in India after years of being locked up in China. Xiaomi has never launched a Turbo-branded device in the past solely because these devices have always made their way to India under its Poco sub-brand. And as things would have it, Poco already launched its X8 Pro in India back in March. Both phones are identical in core hardware, appearance, and dimensions, but Xiaomi's Redmi Turbo 5 has a larger battery. Can this higher battery capacity justify the Turbo 5's slightly higher price tag? And are there better options that offer a more holistic premium smartphone experience for around Rs. 37,999?

Redmi Turbo 5 Summary

The Redmi Turbo 5’s IP69K-rated design uses a mix of glass and metal which feels very premium. Its flat display gets sufficiently bright outdoors and supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision standards. The accompanying speakers also sound rich and loud making it great for entertainment.

Performance is not a problem with the Redmi Turbo 5 as Xiaomi has added a vapour chamber cooling system which keeps the phone running smoothly when stressed. Its software experience feels smooth and fluid but it does come loaded with plenty of bloatware.

The primary camera performs well both in daylight and low-light shooting conditions. The ultrawide camera captures softer images that aren’t that useful. The selfie camera is a weak spot and produces soft images that are low on detail.

Battery life is good but it will only last you a day under with heavy gaming use. Casual users will see better results. Charging speeds are quite fast given the high-capacity battery.
