Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is reportedly preparing to launch the Redmi Turbo 5 in India soon, marking the debut of the Turbo series in the country. The company has already teased the smartphone, confirming a dual rear camera setup and hinting at at least one black colour option. The upcoming handset is expected to target users looking for flagship-level performance in the mid-premium segment.
According to a report by Smartprix in collaboration with tipster Yogesh Brar, the Redmi Turbo 5 could launch in India on June 18. The report further claims that Redmi may unveil the rumoured Redmi 17 5G alongside the Turbo series smartphone during the same event. However, the company has not yet officially confirmed the launch date.
The Indian variant of the Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to retain most of the specifications seen on its Chinese counterpart. For reference, the smartphone was launched in China earlier this year with a starting price of CNY 2,299 (roughly Rs. 30,000) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model. The device features a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ support, and peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits.
With its high-refresh-rate screen, premium display features, and likely performance-focused hardware, the Redmi Turbo 5 could become a strong competitor in India’s upper mid-range smartphone market. More official details regarding pricing, storage variants, and availability are expected to be announced closer to launch.
