Redmi Turbo Pro

Xiaomi’s Redmi brand is back in the spotlight with a bold statement: the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, launched on April 24, 2025, isn’t just another performance phone — it’s a full-blown disruptor. With the world debut of Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a mammoth 7550mAh silicon-carbon battery, and premium features that punch above its class, the Turbo 4 Pro feels less like a mid-range device and more like a flagship killer.

And it’s not staying local: strong rumors and certifications suggest it’s coming globally as the POCO F7, setting the stage for one of 2025’s biggest smartphone releases.


Next-Gen Power Unleashed: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

At the heart of the Turbo 4 Pro is Qualcomm’s latest marvel, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 — a chip designed to bring near-flagship performance to the masses. Built on TSMC’s cutting-edge 4nm process, this octa-core SoC features:

  • 1x Cortex-X4 prime core @ 3.21GHz
  • 3x Cortex-A720 performance cores @ 3.0GHz
  • 2x Cortex-A720 efficiency cores @ 2.8GHz
  • 2x Cortex-A520 efficiency cores @ 2.0GHz
  • Adreno 825 GPU

Early benchmark leaks show the Turbo 4 Pro scoring over 2.4 million points on AnTuTu, putting it right in the ballpark of premium devices like the Galaxy S24 and OnePlus 12. Combined with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, users can expect ultra-smooth multitasking, top-tier gaming, and faster AI-driven features like real-time translation, smart photography, and voice recognition.

Fun Fact: The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is expected to power a wide range of 2025 flagships from other brands like Motorola, iQOO, and Honor, but Redmi got there first.


Record-Breaking Endurance: 7550mAh Silicon-Carbon Battery

Forget battery anxiety. The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro comes equipped with a 7550mAh silicon-carbon battery — the largest battery Redmi has ever put into a mainstream smartphone.
Silicon-carbon tech allows higher energy density without significantly increasing weight or thickness, a breakthrough for mobile devices.

Here’s what users can expect:

Usage ScenarioEstimated Battery Life

Heavy Gaming/Streaming1.5 days
StandbyOver 5 days

Charging Specs:

  • 90W wired fast charging (0 to 100% in ~40 minutes)
  • 22.5W reverse wired charging (phone-to-phone or accessories)

Compared to rivals like the Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which hover around 5000mAh, the Turbo 4 Pro offers a noticeable leap in endurance.


Stunning Visuals: 1.5K OLED Display With Pro-Level Specs

The Turbo 4 Pro isn’t just about muscle — it’s about beauty too. It features a 6.83-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution (2772 x 1280), optimized for gamers, streamers, and everyday users who demand more:

  • 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for ultra-smooth scrolling and gaming
  • Up to 3200 nits peak brightness, outperforming even premium flagships outdoors
  • HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support for richer colors and contrast
  • 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to minimize eye strain
  • “Wet Hand Touch 2.0” technology for accurate touch even in humid or wet conditions

Design Details:

  • Ultra-slim bezels (1.5mm sides/top, 1.9mm chin)
  • Optical in-display fingerprint sensor
  • Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection

Solid Imaging Capabilities: 50MP Main Camera With OIS

Photography on the Turbo 4 Pro stays practical but powerful:

Rear Cameras:

  • 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary sensor (with Optical Image Stabilization)
  • 8MP ultra-wide sensor

Front Camera:

  • 20MP punch-hole selfie shooter

With Qualcomm’s improved Spectra ISP and AI engine, users can expect enhanced night photography, faster autofocus, better video stabilization, and smarter scene recognition compared to previous Redmi devices.


Heavy-Duty Memory and Storage Options

Depending on the model, users get:

RAMStorage
12GB256GB
16GB512GB or 1TB
  • LPDDR5X RAM = 1.3x faster than LPDDR5
  • UFS 4.1 storage = 2x faster read/write speeds than UFS 3.1

This makes a real-world difference when loading games like Genshin Impact, processing large RAW photos, or opening 30+ tabs in Chrome without a hitch.


Features That Push It Over the Top

Other perks include:

  • IP68 water and dust resistance (possibly even IP69, depending on final certification)
  • Stereo speakers tuned for Dolby Atmos
  • NFC for Google Pay
  • IR Blaster to control home appliances
  • X-axis linear motor for better haptic feedback
  • Xiaomi HyperOS 2 (based on Android 15) out of the box

There’s even a Harry Potter Limited Edition featuring unique back panel art and themed UI elements — clearly targeting collectors and fans of the wizarding world.


Expected Global Launch: POCO F7 Incoming

Although officially launched in China, the Turbo 4 Pro is practically confirmed to hit global markets soon as the POCO F7.
Listings on India’s BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and leaks from Xiaomi insiders suggest a global reveal by May 2025.

POCO’s past Turbo rebrands, like the F5 and F5 Pro, were hugely popular internationally — and the F7 looks poised to continue the trend.
