The Redmi Turbo 5 Max has been officially confirmed to launch in China later this month, expanding Xiaomi’s popular Redmi Turbo series. Ahead of the launch, the company has already teased the expected price range, building anticipation among smartphone enthusiasts. Redmi has now revealed several key hardware and design details, giving a clearer picture of what users can expect from the upcoming device.

One of the biggest highlights of the Redmi Turbo 5 Max is its massive 9,000mAh battery. According to the company, this battery is designed to deliver performance comparable to a 10,000mAh cell, making it one of the most power-efficient smartphones in its segment. Redmi also claims this is the largest Xiaomi Jinshajiang battery to date, positioning the handset as a strong choice for users who prioritize long-lasting battery life.

In terms of performance, the smartphone is confirmed to be powered by a MediaTek chipset, specifically the Dimensity 9500s processor. This chipset is expected to deliver smooth multitasking, improved gaming performance, and better power efficiency. The confirmation of MediaTek silicon suggests Redmi is focusing on offering flagship-level performance at a competitive price point.

Design-wise, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max adopts a clean and modern aesthetic. The rear features a dual-camera setup placed inside a vertically aligned, pill-shaped camera island, accompanied by an LED flash. On the front, the device sports a hole-punch display cutout for the selfie camera, while the Redmi branding is subtly placed at the bottom-left corner of the back panel, giving the phone a premium and minimal look.

Global smartphone shipments recorded modest but meaningful growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, rising 2.3 percent year-over-year despite ongoing supply-side pressures, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). The market showed resilience in the face of a persistent memory chip shortage, logistical constraints, and cautious consumer spending in several regions. For the full year 2025, worldwide smartphone shipments reached 1.26 billion units, signaling a gradual recovery after periods of stagnation.

Premium devices played a major role in driving this growth, as consumers continued to prioritize high-end features and longer replacement cycles. Foldable smartphones gained wider acceptance, contributing to higher average selling prices and renewed interest in flagship models. Additionally, accelerated purchasing activity ahead of expected price increases helped lift shipments toward the end of the year, particularly in developed markets.

Apple and Samsung emerged as the strongest performers during the quarter, recording the highest growth rates among the top five smartphone brands. Apple led the global market for the third consecutive year, shipping 81.3 million units in Q4 2025 and capturing a 24.2 percent market share. The strong performance was fueled by demand for the iPhone 17 series and solid sales momentum in China and other key regions.

Samsung followed closely, shipping 61.2 million units and securing an 18.2 percent share of the global market, supported by a broad portfolio spanning premium and mid-range devices. Chinese manufacturers Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo rounded out the top five, maintaining competitive positions through aggressive pricing and strong distribution networks, particularly in emerging markets.

Apple Tops Global Smartphone Market With 20% Share in 2025, Counterpoint Says

Apple led the global smartphone market in 2025 with a 20% share, as worldwide shipments grew 2% year-on-year, driven by stronger demand and improving economic momentum in emerging markets, according to data released by Counterpoint Research on Monday.

Apple’s performance was supported by solid demand across emerging and mid-sized markets, alongside strong sales of its latest iPhone 17 series, said Counterpoint analyst Varun Mishra. The company claimed the largest market share among the world’s top five smartphone brands during the year.

Counterpoint noted that smartphone manufacturers front-loaded shipments earlier in 2025 to get ahead of potential tariff impacts. However, this effect faded as the year progressed, leaving shipment volumes in the second half of the year largely unchanged.

Samsung ranked second globally with a 19% market share, posting modest shipment growth. Xiaomi followed in third place with a 13% share, buoyed by steady demand in emerging markets, the research firm said.

Looking ahead, Counterpoint warned that the global smartphone market could face headwinds in 2026. Research director Tarun Pathak said shipments are expected to soften due to chip shortages and rising component costs, as semiconductor manufacturers increasingly prioritize supplying processors for AI data centres over smartphones.
