Several dozen teasers later, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max has officially debuted in China. The phone comes with a large 9,000mAh battery and is the first in the world to use the recently launched MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset.
The new Dimensity 9500s SoC is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. In order to keep things running cool, the phone features a large surface vapor chamber.
One of the standout specs of the Turbo 5 Max is obviously the large 9,000mAh battery, which supports 100W wired charging. The phone also offers 27W wired reverse charging and features the Xiaomi P3 fast charging and G1 battery management chipsets.
At the front, the phone sports a 6.83-inch AMOLED 12-bit display that uses the M10 luminescent material that delivers up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness. The screen also offers a refresh rate of 120Hz, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support, and a 480Hz touch sampling rate.
You’ll find a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner up front along with a 20MP selfie camera.
Moving to the back, there’s a dual-camera setup with a primary 50MP Light Fusion 600 sensor with OIS, paired with an 8MP ultrawide unit.
The Redmi Turbo 5 Max runs Android 16-based HyperOS 3 and features stereo speakers. It also gets an infrared sensor, dual-SIM support, up to an IP69K rating, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6, and NFC.
It is currently available for purchase in China via the official Xiaomi online store in Auspicious Cloud White, Ocean Blue, Sunshine Orange, and Shadow Black color options.
Pricing starts at CNY 2,499 ($360) for the 12GB/256GB option, with the 12GB/512GB model going for CNY 2,799 ($400). Meanwhile, the 16GB/256GB and the 16GB/512GB variants are priced at CNY 2,799 ($400) and CNY 3,099 ($445), respectively.
Did you have a Dimensity equipped phone so you can talk about it? It is fast and stable, in some respects it is better than the Qualcomm counterpart.
This is going to be rebranded as a Poco X series rather than F series. Unless Xiaomi revive the F GT series than this would be in the X series since all F series have only featured high-end Snapdragon SoCs.
