Xiaomi releases a low-cost phone with excellent specs that is comparable to the iPhone 16.
Xiaomi is starting the year in style. The brand has just launched the successor to the Redmi Turbo 3 in China, which will most likely arrive on this side of the world as the POCO X7. We are talking about the new Redmi Turbo 4, a mid-range phone that has nothing to envy the best smartphones on the market.
The Redmi Turbo 4 specs are top-notch: it has a 4nm processor with only power cores, a very bright OLED display, a huge battery, and a pair of light rings on its cameras that you will definitely love. Below, we tell you all its features and prices.
The Redmi Turbo 4 comes with a 6.67-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, has a fairly high peak brightness of 3200 nits, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
In terms of photography, it has a dual camera that is very reminiscent of the new design of the iPhone 16. It is a 50-megapixel Sony main sensor accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle and a 20-megapixel selfie camera.
In terms of performance, it comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra processor coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Not only that, it also comes with a 5000mm² stainless steel VC cooling system.
Another thing we love about the Redmi Turbo 4 is its 6,550mAh battery, one of the largest on the market. We should also add to that the 90W fast charging that charges the battery to 100% in 45 minutes...
