Redmi Turbo 5 Pro leak: Dimensity 9-series, 9,000mAh battery, 100W charging
Redmi is gearing up a new Turbo 5 lineup, and a fresh leak points to a performance-leaning Turbo 5 Pro that departs from last year’s silicon strategy. The brand only just rebranded its K-series flagship as the Redmi K90 Pro Max in China, and there’s chatter that Redmi could mirror the naming for its mid-ranger with a Turbo 5 Pro Max badge—though that remains speculation. What’s firmer are specs shared by prolific tipster Digital Chat Station.
Core specs (leaked)
-
Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 9-series (a shift from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 used in the Turbo 4 Pro)
-
Display: 1.5K LTPS flat panel with ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor; large rounded corners
-
Build & durability: Metal mid-frame, full-level water resistance; minimalist design language continues from the prior generation
-
Audio: Symmetrical dual speakers
-
Battery & charging: Around 9,000mAh capacity with 100W wired charging
Other details—camera configuration, RAM/storage options, and exact dimensions—remain under wraps.
Lineup and launch timing
The standard Redmi Turbo 5 has already cleared 3C certification in China and is expected before year-end. Launch timing for the Turbo 5 Pro is less certain: Redmi’s usual cadence would place it in Q2 2026, but an earlier debut hasn’t been ruled out.
Naming watch: “Pro Max” on the cards?
After switching the K-series to K90 Pro Max, Redmi may extend the “Max” branding to the Turbo line’s upper tier. For now, it’s conjecture—but consistent with the company’s recent naming trends.
Big takeaways
If accurate, the Turbo 5 Pro pivots to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9-series while doubling down on endurance and quality-of-life features: a 1.5K LTPS panel with ultrasonic biometrics, symmetric stereo, robust water resistance, and a monster ~9,000mAh pack topped up at 100W. That combination would position it as a mid-range battery-and-performance specialist rather than a pure flagship chip showcase.
