The Redmi Turbo 5 is shaping up to be one of Xiaomi’s most ambitious mid-range smartphones yet, with new leaks revealing significant upgrades over its predecessor. Expected to launch next year as the successor to the Redmi Turbo 4, the device has already appeared in multiple online reports detailing its hardware and design. The latest leak now claims that the Redmi Turbo 5 will feature a 6.5-inch LTPS flat display with a 1.5K resolution, a slight reduction in size from earlier rumours of a 6.6-inch screen. The phone is also said to sport a sleek metal frame, signaling a move toward a more premium design language in the Turbo lineup.
According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station (via Gizmochina), the upcoming device is expected to pack a massive 7,500mAh battery — one of the largest capacities seen in a mid-range phone — coupled with support for 100W wired fast charging. This would represent a major leap over the Turbo 4’s 6,550mAh battery, promising extended endurance and faster top-ups. The combination of a large battery and high-speed charging could make the Turbo 5 particularly appealing to users who prioritize long-lasting performance and minimal downtime.
In terms of durability and usability, the Redmi Turbo 5 is reportedly designed with a metal frame and could feature an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance — another notable improvement for a device in this segment. Security is also said to be enhanced with an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, replacing the side-mounted scanner seen on the previous model. If these details hold true, the Turbo 5 could position itself as one of the most refined and durable smartphones in Redmi’s mid-range portfolio.
While Xiaomi has yet to confirm any of these specifications, the leaks suggest that the company is aiming to push the boundaries of its Turbo series with flagship-level features at a more accessible price. Between the upgraded display, massive battery, and refined build quality, the Redmi Turbo 5 could offer one of the most compelling value propositions in its class when it officially launches in 2025.
