MediaTek officially launched the Dimensity 8400, a full-core AI chip, today. Wang Teng, Deputy General Manager of Xiaomi China's Marketing Department and General Manager of the Redmi brand, was present at the launch event. During the event, Redmi announced it had surpassed 1.11 billion units sold globally over the past decade, reaching 105 countries and regions. They also highlighted the Redmi K70 Supreme Edition's achievement of being the top-selling model on a single platform in the domestic market.

Wang Teng excitedly stated, "Building on the success of the Dimensity 9000 series, we've partnered with MediaTek to create the Dimensity 8400-Ultra chip, featuring the latest A725 architecture and a full-core design. Its performance is exceptionally impressive, and its power efficiency has seen significant improvements!" He further announced that the Redmi Turbo 4, powered by the new Dimensity 8400-Ultra, will be launched after New Year's Day, and teased Redmi's first new product for 2025, leaving users eagerly anticipating more.

The Redmi Turbo 4, previously rumored multiple times, has finally been unveiled and is poised for release. Officially, the Dimensity 8400-Ultra boasts superior power efficiency compared to its predecessor, with performance rivaling flagship chips. The performance of the new Redmi Turbo 4, based on this powerful processor, is highly anticipated.

Based on previous leaks and speculation, the Redmi Turbo 4 will feature a large-capacity battery exceeding 6500mAh and a narrow-bezel 1.5K LTPS eye-protection straight screen for a more comfortable viewing experience. Its slim glass body with a plastic middle frame balances aesthetics and feel. Additionally, the Redmi Turbo 4 will include short-focus optical fingerprint recognition and a minimalist vertical dual-camera system in the upper left corner, with a 50MP main camera.

Wang Teng previously stated, "Since the beginning of the year, Redmi's product line has been adjusted. The new K series will be positioned as champion flagships, especially the Pro version, aiming to create all-around flagships. Its price range will also be increased to fill the market gap left by the price increase of the Xiaomi numbered series. The Turbo series will handle the 2000-3000 RMB price segment in the future." This suggests the Redmi Turbo 4 will likely be priced between 2000 and 3000 RMB.

Furthermore, a new Xiaomi phone model 24129RT7CC recently passed 3C certification, widely speculated to be the Redmi Turbo 4. The certification information shows that the applicant and manufacturer are both Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Phone Co., Ltd., the producer is Huizhou Guang Hong Technology Co., Ltd., and it supports up to 90W fast charging.

For reference, the previous generation Redmi Turbo 3 featured a 6.67-inch 1.5K screen with 2400 nit peak brightness and 12-bit color depth, using Xiaomi's self-developed "Qing Shan Eye Protection" technology. It was equipped with the Snapdragon 8s mobile platform, an ice-cooling heat dissipation system, and the Rage Engine 3.0, delivering excellent performance. In terms of imaging, the Redmi Turbo 3 featured a 20MP front-facing camera and a rear dual-camera system with a 50MP main camera (LYT-600 sensor) and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The battery capacity was 5000mAh with 90W fast charging, and the starting price was 1999 RMB.

Beyond the officially announced Redmi Turbo 4, news about other Redmi phones has also surfaced. Digital blogger @Digital Chat Station recently revealed, "Around April next year, a new phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Elite/SM8735 chip will be launched. It's currently planned to have 90W fast charging, a battery capacity aiming for 7000mAh, and a new four-narrow-bezel 1.5K LTPS screen. It will have a glass body and the middle frame material may be upgraded." While the blogger didn't specify the series, industry speculation points to the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro.

Based on the available information, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is expected to launch around April next year. Combining leaked information, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro will likely feature the Snapdragon 8s Elite chip, 90W fast charging, a large 7000mAh battery, and a 1.5K LTPS screen, further enhancing performance and battery life. However, specific details about the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro remain limited, and official confirmation is awaited.

In summary, Redmi's upcoming launch of the Dimensity 8400-Ultra powered Turbo 4, and the potential Turbo 4 Pro, marks Redmi's foray into the mid-to-high-end market. This dual-flagship strategy targets the 2000-3000 RMB price range, intensifying competition and generating significant anticipation. After ten years of honing its skills, Redmi, with its robust product strength and competitive pricing, is poised to deliver more surprises to consumers in the coming year.
