Redmi Turbo 4: An In-Depth Look at the First New Phone of 2025

With only two days left until 2025, leaks about new phones are heating up. Recently, numerous digital bloggers and Xiaomi employees have revealed details about the upcoming Redmi Turbo 4, adding to its air of mystery. What are the highlights of this highly anticipated phone? Let's delve in.

Design: Minimalist Elegance

Digital blogger @DigitalChatStation was the first to reveal the design philosophy of the Redmi Turbo 4: "The Redmi Turbo 4 will launch right after New Year's Day. This generation's design is simplified, the color scheme is restrained, the glass body enhances the texture, and the overall look is very pleasing. Personally, I think it's the best-looking Redmi design this year." @XiaoPangXiaoPangRenJianBaoZang (a Xiaomi employee) also retweeted this leak, confirming it as his favorite Redmi design of 2024.

This suggests that the Redmi Turbo 4 will adopt a minimalist design style with subdued and restrained color schemes. The phone will feature a high-quality glass body, resulting in a sleek and sophisticated appearance. This marks a departure from previous Redmi phone designs, signifying a shift in the brand's design philosophy and its ambition to target a higher-end market.

Core Specifications: Powerful Performance and Ultra-Long Battery Life

Another leak from @DigitalChatStation revealed the core specifications of the Redmi Turbo 4: "Over 6500mAh ultra-large battery, 1.5K LTPS narrow-bezel eye-protection straight screen, slim glass body, plastic mid-frame, short-focus optical fingerprint sensor, simple 50MP dual-camera array in the top left corner, Dimensity 8 series high-performance platform. What do you think?" While the blogger didn't explicitly state the model name, all signs point to this being the Redmi Turbo 4's configuration.

The Redmi Turbo 4 will feature a massive battery exceeding 6500mAh, providing ultra-long battery life and eliminating range anxiety. The display will be a 1.5K LTPS narrow-bezel eye-protection straight screen, balancing high resolution with eye care for a comfortable viewing experience. The slim glass body with a plastic mid-frame ensures a lightweight and thin profile while managing costs. The fingerprint sensor will utilize a short-focus optical solution for faster and more convenient unlocking. A 50MP dual-camera system arranged vertically in the top-left corner showcases Redmi's commitment to imaging.

Surprisingly, the Redmi Turbo 4 will be the first to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra processor. According to GeekBench benchmark scores, it achieves a single-core score of 1642 and a multi-core score of 6056. The Dimensity 8400-Ultra utilizes an innovative all-large-core architecture design, featuring eight of Arm's latest A725 large cores. One 3.25GHz high-frequency A725 core provides ultra-strong single-thread performance, three 3.0GHz A725 cores ensure sustained high-performance output, and four 2.1GHz A725 cores handle multitasking and energy efficiency. Official test data shows that in MOBA games, the Dimensity 8400-Ultra achieves an average frame rate of 119.1 fps, a maximum temperature of only 38.1, and power consumption of only 3.2W. Compared to the previous generation A715, the Cortex-A725's single-core performance has improved by 10%, power consumption has decreased by 35%, and energy efficiency has significantly improved. The all-large-core design combines the energy efficiency advantages of eight A725 cores, making the Dimensity 8400-Ultra's multi-core performance and energy efficiency far superior to its peers.

Combined with the Redmi 3D Ice-Sealed Cooling System and Xiaomi Surge OS 2, the Redmi Turbo 4's gaming performance, AI performance, and battery life will all see significant improvements, providing users with a smooth and efficient experience.

Pricing: A Strong Competitor in the Thousand-Yuan Flagship Segment

Xiaomi executive Wang Teng previously stated: "Redmi's product line has been adjusting since the beginning of the year. The new K series is positioned as a champion flagship, especially the Pro model aims to be an all-around flagship, with a higher price range. It will fill the gap left by the price increase of the Xiaomi numbered series. The Turbo series will handle the 2-3K price range in the future." This suggests that the Redmi Turbo 4 will likely be priced between 2000 and 3000 yuan, making it a highly competitive product in the thousand-yuan flagship market. The final price will, of course, be announced officially.

New Interactive Experience: Enhanced by Super XiaoAi

The Redmi Turbo 4 is expected to feature the Super XiaoAi intelligent voice assistant. As an upgraded version of XiaoAi, Super XiaoAi boasts a new visual design and supports multiple wake-up methods including double-clicking the bottom gesture line on the screen, long-pressing the power button, and voice commands. Furthermore, Super XiaoAi adds a global multimodal interaction function supporting natural voice and language interaction. It can proactively learn user habits to provide more intelligent services, offering a more convenient and user-friendly interactive experience.

Conclusion: A Flagship Launch for 2025

In summary, the Redmi Turbo 4, with its minimalist and elegant design, powerful core configuration, ultra-long battery life, and new intelligent interactive experience, is poised to be a major flagship launch of 2025. Its comprehensive strength in terms of appearance, performance, battery life, and price gives it strong competitiveness in the fiercely competitive mobile phone market. The phone will be officially released in January 2025. Pre-orders are now open; interested users can follow official channels for more information.
