Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Leak: 6.8-Inch Display, 8,000mAh Battery & Global Launch as Poco F8

Redmi fans have something big to look forward to! Xiaomi’s sub-brand is reportedly gearing up to launch the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, expected to be the successor to the popular Redmi Turbo 4 Pro that made waves earlier this year. While Xiaomi hasn’t officially announced the device yet, fresh leaks from China suggest it will come with exciting upgrades that could make it one of the most powerful midrange smartphones in its segment.

Massive 8,000mAh Battery and Bigger Display

According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Redmi phone is tipped to feature a 6.8-inch flat screen and a battery exceeding 8,000mAh capacity. Although the tipster did not confirm the exact model name, speculation points to the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro launching as early as 2026.

If these leaks are accurate, the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro could offer a significantly bigger battery than its predecessor. For comparison, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro packs a 7,550mAh battery with 90W fast charging support, already making it a battery powerhouse. A jump to an 8,000mAh battery would provide unprecedented battery life in the midrange category.

Expected Global Debut as Poco F8

Interestingly, Redmi Turbo series phones often debut globally under the Poco brand. The recently launched Poco F7, which arrived in India with a price starting at ₹31,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, shares most of its specifications with the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. Based on past trends, the upcoming Redmi Turbo 5 Pro could launch outside China as the Poco F8, bringing its flagship features to international markets.

Possible Upgrades Over Redmi Turbo 4 Pro

The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, launched in China in April, is equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a 6.83-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, dual 50-megapixel rear cameras, and a 20-megapixel selfie camera. It also boasts a 7,550mAh battery with 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging support, along with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

If the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro builds upon this foundation, it could offer:

• A larger 6.8-inch display for an immersive viewing experience.

• An upgraded 8,000mAh battery for even longer usage without frequent charging.

• Possibly the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 chipset (unconfirmed).

• Improved camera features and better heat management.

Enhanced Durability and Fast Charging Expected

The previous model’s dust and water resistance ratings (IP66/IP68/IP69) and robust build quality were highlights for Redmi Turbo fans. Given the positive reception, it’s likely Redmi will retain or even enhance these features in the Turbo 5 Pro. Expect fast charging technology and advanced safety measures to protect the massive battery.

What This Means for Poco Fans

The Poco F series has become popular in India and other international markets by offering Redmi’s powerful hardware with a Poco-branded twist. If the Poco F8 launches globally based on the Turbo 5 Pro, consumers could get a midrange flagship with a gigantic battery, high refresh rate screen, and top-tier performance — all at a competitive price point.

When to Expect Launch?

There’s no official word from Xiaomi yet, but industry insiders speculate the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro could launch in China in early 2026, followed by a global rollout as the Poco F8 a few months later.
