Redmi’s Next 5G: The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset arrived earlier this year as the successor to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. It is built on TSMC’s 4nm process and has already powered many gaming smartphones in India and other countries. Now a new leak from China hints that another phone with this chip is coming soon. This new device may come with a huge 6.78-inch display and a massive 9000mAh battery. It could also launch in the mid-range segment.
New Leak Suggests Another Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Phone
A well-known tipster, Digital Chat Station, shared on Weibo that a new smartphone with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is in development. The leak says the device may get hardware-level chip upgrades. It is also said to have a 6.78-inch flat LTPS screen with a 1.5K resolution. The refresh rate might be 144Hz or even 165Hz.
The phone is also tipped to come with a 9000mAh battery. This is much larger than most phones today. Because of this, many people think the device will target the mid-range market. The leak does not directly mention the phone’s name, but the word Turbo in earlier posts suggests it could be the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro.
Possible Launch and Global Variant
There is no confirmed launch date for the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro. But the leaks suggest that the phone is getting closer to launch. There is also a chance that this device will launch globally with a different name. Many reports say it could arrive as the Poco F8 in global markets.
Other Brands Planning Big-Battery Phones
Honor is also rumored to launch the Honor GT 2, which may come with a 9000mAh battery too. Another phone, the OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max, is said to have an 8000mAh battery. It looks like many brands are now moving toward ultra-large batteries.
Looking Back at Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and Poco F7 5G
The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro launched in China in April with a starting price of CNY 2,199 (around Rs 25,700). The Poco F7 5G later came to India with similar specs and a starting price of Rs 31,999. Both phones used the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset as well.
