Combined with LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 flash memory, AnTuTu V11’s benchmark score exceeded 3.61 million, ranking first in performance in the 2.5K price range.
In terms of actual game performance, Turbo 5 Max is equipped with a newly upgraded violent engine. Through SoC integrated frequency modulation and compilation optimization technology, it achieves ultimate frame stabilization in heavy load scenarios. Actual measurement of "Honkai: Star Rail" in 997P HD image quality + 60 frame mode, the average frame rate for 30 minutes is as high as 59.5fps, achieving a full frame experience.
The REDMI Turbo 5 is equipped with the same powerful Dimensity 8500-Ultra platform, providing smooth and reliable performance guarantee for users who pursue high cost performance.
2 The industry’s strongest 9000mAh battery, Turbo 5 Max’s battery life exceeds 2.3 days
In terms of battery life, Turbo 5 Max once again leads the industry, equipped with the largest 9000mAh Xiaomi Jinshajiang battery to date. It uses the same flagship 16% silicon carbon anode solution (G3 spherical silicon carbon) and 4.55V high voltage system, with an energy density as high as 894Wh/L. According to the actual measurement in Xiaomi laboratory, under the heavy DOU model, the battery life exceeded 2.3 days for the first time, truly realizing "one charge in two days".
Even with such a huge amount of batteries packed in, Turbo 5 Max still controls the thickness of the body to 8.15mm and weighs 219g, taking into account both large power and good feel. Both models support 100W wired fast charging, 27W reverse charging and bypass charging functions, allowing you to charge while playing without getting hot.
3 3500nits super sun screen + minimalist aesthetic design
In terms of screen, Turbo 5 Max is equipped with a 6.83-inch 1.5K flexible straight screen, equipped with the latest M10 luminescent material, with a peak brightness of up to 3500nits (APL25%), which is clearly visible under strong outdoor light. The screen supports DC+3840Hz PWM hybrid dimming, and has passed the TÜV Rheinland rhythm-friendly, flicker-free, and hardware low-blue light certifications, and has outstanding eye protection capabilities.
In terms of design, both models continue to adhere to the simple aesthetic concept. Turbo 5 Max adopts flagship metal frame and metal camera Deco, with elegant large R-angle and fiberglass back panel, and its quality is far superior to its peers. The built-in double-ring light strip on the back supports music rhythm and exclusive light effects for games such as "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite", and is full of personality.
4 Comprehensive upgrade of images and experience
On the imaging system, Turbo 5 Max debuts the Light Hunter 600 50MP high-dynamic main camera, which has 1.6μm large pixels and F1.5 ultra-large aperture, with a dynamic range of up to 12.5EV, significantly improving the image quality of night scenes and high-dynamic scenes.

In addition, Turbo 5 Max has also been upgraded with 1115F symmetrical three-dimensional dual speakers, the first low volume (0.5 bar) function for sleeping, and is equipped with ultrasonic fingerprint for the first time on the Turbo series, greatly improving the unlocking speed. What’s even more surprising is that it also launched Xiaomi’s ticket grabbing function, which can intelligently identify rush buying scenes and automatically turn on violent mode and network acceleration.
Both models support IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K full-grade waterproofing, dual-frequency GPS + quad-band Beidou, and kilometer-level non-network communication functions. The experience is comprehensive and has no shortcomings.
