Xiaomi has officially teased the Redmi Turbo 4, confirming that it will be among the first smartphones to feature the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset. MediaTek has designed the Dimensity 8400 to bring flagship-like performance to mid-range devices, marking it as the first mid-range SoC with an all-big core CPU configuration.

The Redmi Turbo 4 will reportedly use a customized version of the Dimensity 8400, branded as the Dimensity 8400 Ultra. While details on the customization remain scarce, it is speculated to involve slight clock speed enhancements, a practice common among smartphone manufacturers.

Expected Features

• Battery and Charging:
  The non-Pro Redmi Turbo 4 is rumored to feature a 6,500 mAh battery with 90-watt fast charging, delivering a significant power backup for its users.
• Camera and Display:
  It is expected to sport a 50 MP primary camera and a 1.5K LTPS display, along with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, making it a robust device for everyday use.
• Pricing:
  While no official pricing has been disclosed, the predecessor’s launch price of CNY 1,999 (approximately $274) hints at the Turbo 4’s potential affordability.

Pro Variant Rumors

Xiaomi is also reportedly developing a Redmi Turbo 4 Pro variant. This model may feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Elite chipset, a larger 7,000 mAh battery, and possibly even faster charging capabilities.

MediaTek’s Push for Mid-Range Excellence

The Dimensity 8400 Ultra is positioned as MediaTek’s answer to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Elite, aiming to set new benchmarks in the mid-range smartphone segment. With all-big core architecture borrowed from MediaTek’s flagship 9000 series, the chipset promises enhanced performance for a broader audience.

Release and Market Potential

The Redmi Turbo 4 is expected to solidify Xiaomi’s position in the competitive mid-range market, offering flagship-level specifications at a more accessible price point. Additional details, including launch dates and exact pricing, are anticipated soon.
