Redmi is slowly building up to the launch of the Turbo 5 Max, even if it’s still not ready to share an exact launch date. The company has now released a fresh set of teasers that confirm two important things. We finally have a clearer look at the phone’s design, and we now know just how big its battery is.

While some details are still missing, these new reveals make it easier to understand what kind of phone the Turbo 5 Max is shaping up to be.

A Familiar Design With Small Refinements

The official images show the Redmi Turbo 5 Max sporting a large OLED display with rounded corners and slim bezels on all sides. At first glance, the front looks clean and modern, without any dramatic design changes.

Flip the phone around, and you’ll see a vertical dual-camera setup on the back. This layout closely resembles the previous generation, which suggests Redmi isn’t trying to reinvent the design here.

A Massive 9,000mAh Battery Takes Center Stage

The biggest highlight from the latest teaser is the battery. Redmi has confirmed that the Turbo 5 Max will pack a 9,000mAh battery, which is far larger than what you usually see in mainstream smartphones.

Redmi hasn’t officially confirmed charging speeds yet, but the phone’s 3C certification points to support for up to 100W wired fast charging. If that turns out to be accurate, it should help offset the large battery size. So far, there’s no indication of wireless charging support.

Dimensity 9500s and Early Benchmark Sightings

Under the hood, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max is set to debut with the new Dimensity 9500s chipset. The device has already appeared on benchmarking platforms, offering an early look at its performance potential.

On AnTuTu, the phone reportedly scored around 3.29 million points. It has also been spotted on Geekbench with 16GB of RAM and Android 16, pointing toward a performance-focused setup rather than a phone built around battery life alone.

Camera Details Still Under Wraps

Redmi hasn’t shared official camera specifications yet. That said, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Turbo 5 Max continues with a similar setup to its predecessor.

Current leaks suggest a dual-camera system, likely featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor paired with an 8-megapixel secondary camera. Until Redmi confirms this, the camera remains one of the key unknowns.

Could Launch as the Poco X8 Pro Max in India

Outside China, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max could come in the form of Poco X8 Pro Max.

Stay Tuned

For now, Redmi seems content revealing the Turbo 5 Max in stages. With the design and battery size now confirmed, attention will likely turn to pricing and an official launch date next.
