The certification strengthens speculation that the smartphone is ready for launch in China. The handset will be introduced in the domestic market first and later rebranded for global markets as Poco X8 Pro.
Redmi Turbo 5: Expected Launch in India
While Xiaomi has not announced an official India release date, market sources suggest that the Redmi Turbo 5 could debut early next year. However, it may arrive in India as the Poco X8 Pro, following Xiaomi’s typical rebranding strategy for global markets.
If launched, it could compete directly with iQOO Neo 10, Realme GT Neo 6, and OnePlus Ace 3, all positioned in the upper mid-range performance category. The combination of a massive battery, 100W fast charging, and the Dimensity 8500 chip could give it a strong edge in the Indian market.
Redmi Turbo 5: Launch Timeline & Global Branding
While Xiaomi hasn’t announced an official launch date, the 3C certification confirms that the device is close to release. The company is expected to unveil it in China by the end of this month.
Earlier leaks suggested a possible early 2026 global launch, but recent certifications indicate it could arrive sooner. When it launches globally, it will reportedly be rebranded as the Poco X8 Pro, targeting performance-oriented users in international markets.
Redmi Turbo 5: Expected Specifications & Features
Leaks suggest that the Redmi Turbo 5 will feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 chipset, built using TSMC’s advanced 3nm process. The chip reportedly includes an all-big core setup with one 3.4GHz Cortex-A725, three additional A725 cores, and four efficiency A725 cores. It is paired with a Mali-G720 GPU clocked at 1500MHz, ensuring smooth performance and better power efficiency.
The smartphone is also rumoured to feature a 6.5-inch LTPS flat display with 1.5K resolution, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and a metal frame. Xiaomi is expected to give the device an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, making it more durable than its predecessors.
Redmi Turbo 5: Massive Battery & Fast Charging Support
The 3C listing confirms that the Redmi Turbo 5 will support 100W fast charging. Tipsters claim it could include an 8,000mAh battery, while some leaks hint at a larger 9,000mAh unit.
If true, that would be a major jump from the 6,550mAh battery in the Redmi Turbo 4, which supported 90W charging. Reports also mention that Xiaomi is testing a 10,000mAh battery in its labs, possibly for future flagship phones.
Xiaomi Targets Flagship Battery Game
With its rumoured 8,000mAh–9,000mAh battery and 100W fast charging, Xiaomi seems to be taking the battery capacity race to the next level. Competing brands like Realme and iQOO are also moving toward high-capacity cells, but the Turbo 5 could become a new benchmark for long-lasting and fast-charging smartphones.
This move signals Xiaomi’s intent to make its Turbo series a bridge between mid-range and flagship performance phones — offering top-tier power without flagship pricing.
