Redmi Turbo 5 Series Tipped to Feature New MediaTek Dimensity Processors

The Dimensity 8500 and Dimensity 9500e chips from MediaTek are still unannounced and are likely to be introduced in early 2026.

REDMI Turbo 5: The Mid-Range Game Changer with MediaTek Dimensity 8500 -  Heyup

Xiaomi is reportedly preparing to unveil the Redmi Turbo 5 series in China, with recent leaks pointing to an imminent launch. The lineup is expected to include the Redmi Turbo 5 and Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, both of which are tipped to receive notable upgrades over the previous Turbo 4 models. Among the biggest changes could be the use of MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity processors.

According to information shared by Weibo tipster Panda is Bald, the Redmi Turbo 5 series will rely on MediaTek chipsets rather than Qualcomm alternatives. The standard Redmi Turbo 5 is said to feature the Dimensity 8500 SoC, while the higher-end Redmi Turbo 5 Pro could be powered by the more advanced Dimensity 9500e processor. MediaTek has not officially announced either chip so far.

Battery capacity appears to be another major highlight of the upcoming series. The Redmi Turbo 5 Pro is rumoured to pack a massive 9,000mAh battery along with 100W fast charging support. Meanwhile, the regular Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to house a slightly smaller 8,000mAh battery, though it may still offer the same 100W charging speeds.

The Dimensity 8500 and Dimensity 9500e processors are believed to debut in early 2026, potentially making the Redmi Turbo 5 lineup among the first smartphones to adopt these chips. The Dimensity 8500, in particular, is said to be built on TSMC’s 4nm process and could deliver clock speeds of up to 3.4GHz, positioning the series for strong performance in its segment.

Realme C85 5G India Launch Timeline Leaks as Redmi 15C and Note 15 Series Near Debut

Realme C85 5G Expected to Launch in India This Month as Affordable 5G Option; Redmi 15C, Note 15 Series Also on the Way

The Realme C85 5G, which recently made its debut in Vietnam as part of Realme’s growing budget 5G portfolio, is reportedly set to launch in India later this month. According to new leaks, the company is preparing to expand its C-series lineup in the country, targeting consumers looking for affordable 5G smartphones. The device is said to share most of its specifications with the Realme 15x, which was introduced in India in October. Alongside Realme’s plans, rival brand Redmi is also reportedly gearing up to launch its 15C lineup and Note 15 series in India in the coming months, intensifying competition in the mid-range market.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that the Realme C85 5G’s India launch is expected before the end of this month. The handset will likely carry over much of the Realme 15x’s design and hardware, including a 6.72-inch display, Dimensity 6100+ processor, and a 5000mAh battery. The 15x was launched in India starting at ₹16,999 for the base 6GB + 128GB variant, suggesting that the C85 5G could come in at a slightly lower price point to appeal to budget-conscious 5G buyers.

The Realme C85 5G will reportedly differ from the 15x in two key areas — camera and charging speed. While the Realme 15x features a 50-megapixel front camera and 60W SuperVOOC fast charging, the C85 5G is tipped to offer an 8-megapixel selfie camera and 45W fast charging support. These slight downgrades could help Realme position the C85 5G as a more affordable alternative while maintaining the same performance and connectivity capabilities.

With Realme and Redmi both preparing major launches before the end of the year, India’s budget 5G smartphone market is set for another wave of competition. The Realme C85 5G is expected to target first-time 5G users looking for reliable performance at an accessible price, while the upcoming Redmi 15C and Note 15 series are anticipated to bring new design upgrades and enhanced chipsets. If the leaks hold true, the final quarter of 2025 could see one of the busiest launch cycles yet in the mid-range smartphone space.

Certifications also reveal support for 100W fast charging, hinting at a high-performance device.

According to tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) on X (formerly Twitter), the Redmi Turbo 5 could indeed make its global debut as the Poco X8 Pro, following the company’s strategy of rebranding its Turbo-series smartphones for international markets.

The phone’s Dimensity 8500 SoC is built on TSMC’s 3nm process, featuring an all-big core configuration: one Cortex-A725 at 3.4GHz, three additional A725 cores, and four efficiency-tuned A725 cores. Graphics duties are handled by the Mali-G720 GPU clocked at 1,500MHz, promising smooth performance for gaming and multitasking.

With its combination of a large battery, ultra-fast charging, and a premium metal build, the Redmi Turbo 5/Poco X8 Pro is shaping up to be a formidable mid-range contender. The official launch is expected soon, likely confirming these specifications and offering more details on pricing and availability.
