 Redmi's Turbo series generally comes up with high performance plus reliable battery offerings, and the Turbo 5 seems to have taken up that a bit.

The new Redmi Turbo 5, priced at Rs 37,999 and Rs 40,999, boasts a 7540mAh battery unit that lasted me over a day almost every single full charge. The bundled 100W charger takes about 1.5 hours to charge it fully while the phone doesn't heat too much.

Performance-wise, it sports the MediaTek Dimensity 8599 Ultra chipset (up to 3.4Ghz octa core processor and Mali G720 GPU) along with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS4.1 internal storage. It is running on Android 16 based HyperOS 3.0 You can expect to get through day to day tasks, video consumption as well as messaging and social media scrolls to not be a problem at all. You can lay a game like BGMJ at mediums settings at around 90FPS while at highest settings the phone can get best up a bit. Xiaomi promises four years of OS upgrades as well as six years of security matches for the device.

The 6.59-inch (1268x2756) AMOLED display is bright and has punchy colours a bit different from the 17T but does a decent job at handling HDR content while better at handling regular content with its colour reproduction and viewing angles.

The phone features a dual camera system at the back – a 50MP (f/1.5) main camera and an 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide camera. These do a decent job at handling daylight shits with some details and colours you may not mind but as soon as the subject isn't stationery or you are in slightly less than ideal light conditions, the camera starts to show its ceiling. The front-facing 20MP (f/2.2) camera does a good job retaining details as well as not coming on skin tones much that it could be used for social media needs and while videos calling.

Call quality and WiFi performance of the device is top notch with almost no unusual signal drops when working indoors or using as a WiFi hotspot over 5G in the go.

The Redmi Turbo 5 is a nice looking device that isn't bulky, comes with over a day-long reliable battery life, boasts a quality display for the price tag – if these are your priorities, the device is worth a look, but if the camera performance as well as graphic intensive gaming at highest settings matter more to you, you might look somewhere else.
