Xiaomi has kicked off the year with a remarkable addition to its lineup, the Redmi Turbo 4. Positioned as a mid-range smartphone, it offers a seamless blend of performance, design, and affordability. As the first device to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra chipset, the Redmi Turbo 4 is a standout in its category.
Design and Display
The Redmi Turbo 4 features a sleek dual-tone glass back, exuding a premium aesthetic. Its front is dominated by a 6.77-inch LTPS OLED display with a 1220p resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring vibrant colors and fluid navigation. With an incredible peak brightness of 3,200 nits, the display remains clear even under direct sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor use. For durability, Xiaomi has equipped the device with IP69-rated water and dust resistance, and the optical in-display fingerprint scanner adds a layer of security and convenience.
Performance and Software
At the heart of the Redmi Turbo 4 lies the newly customized MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra chipset. Built for speed and efficiency, it ensures lag-free multitasking and a smooth gaming experience. The device runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2, based on Android 15, delivering a responsive and user-friendly interface. With up to 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage, the phone offers plenty of space for apps, games, and media, although it lacks a microSD card slot for additional storage.
Camera Capabilities
The Redmi Turbo 4 boasts a dual-camera setup on the rear, featuring a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS). This ensures sharp and detailed images, even in low-light conditions. Accompanying it is an 8MP ultrawide lens, perfect for capturing expansive landscapes and group shots. For selfies, the device offers a 20MP OV20B front camera housed in a punch-hole cutout, delivering vibrant and crisp images.
Battery and Charging
One of the Redmi Turbo 4’s standout features is its massive 6,550 mAh silicon carbon battery, the largest ever in a Xiaomi smartphone. It supports 90W wired charging, allowing the device to go from 0% to 100% in just 45 minutes (as advertised). This combination of battery capacity and fast charging ensures you stay connected throughout the day without frequent recharging interruptions.
Pricing and Availability
The Redmi Turbo 4 is competitively priced, making it an attractive choice for budget-conscious buyers. The base model, featuring 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, is priced at $273, while the top-tier version with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage costs $342. These prices are for the Chinese market, and international pricing is expected to be slightly higher. The phone is available in three stunning colors: black, white, and sea blue, catering to diverse style preferences.
