Redmi Turbo 5 Max teased, should arrive later this month

Xiaomi followed the Redmi Turbo 4 and Turbo 4 Pro with teasers for a three-model Turbo 5 lineup, including the Turbo 5 Max. The Turbo 5 Max is positioned as the fastest phone with the best battery in the CNY 2,500 price range (about $360/€305/₹32,500). Unofficial details indicate metal frames, large displays, and MediaTek Dimensity 8- and 9-series chips across the series. Rumors suggest the Turbo 5 will use a Dimensity 8500, while the Turbo 5 Pro may use a Dimensity 9500e with 100W charging, a 1.5K LTPS OLED, and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader. Chipset naming appears inconsistent, and the Pro could see international rebranding.

"This year we expect no less than three Turbo models on the way and the new addition may come first - Xiaomi posted a teaser for the Turbo 5 Max. The Max will be the fastest phone with the best battery in the CNY 2,500 price segment, says Xiaomi. This converts to $360/€305/₹32,500, though as always, keep in mind that global prices tend to be higher than a simple currency conversion would suggest."

"Previously, we heard that the Redmi Turbo 5 will feature a Dimensity 8500, while the Turbo 5 Pro will use a Dimensity 9500e (supposedly a lower bin version of the 9500, though see below). Pro will have 100W charging, according to data from the 3C. It is said to have a 1.5K LTPS OLED display and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader."

"@DigitalChatStation reports that the new series will debut this month. The Redmi Turbo 5 Max will allegedly have a "Dimensity 9500s" chipset, which will be a variant of the 9400+. There may have been some mix-up with the naming - last year, the Dimensity 9400e was a rebadged 9300+, so the 9500e should be based on the 9400+. Not that chipset names follow any logic."
