Xiaomi’s upcoming Redmi Turbo 5 may arrive with one of the largest batteries ever seen in a mainstream smartphone. According to reports from Digital Chat Station on Weibo and My Drivers, the device could pack a 9,000mAh cell, representing a major leap over the Turbo 4, which launched earlier this year.
If true, this would mark one of the highest-capacity batteries in any Redmi or Poco model to date, far surpassing the average 5,000mAh standard used across most of Xiaomi’s mid-range and flagship lines. The increase would likely translate to significantly longer usage times for gaming, media playback, and general multitasking — all without frequent charging.
The Redmi Turbo series has been positioned as a performance-focused line for users who want flagship-level speed at a lower price. While Xiaomi hasn’t officially confirmed details about the Turbo 5, leaks suggest it could also see improvements to fast charging speeds and efficiency management to balance the impact of such a large battery.
Given the recent trend among Android manufacturers toward massive power cells — with several 2025 flagships now exceeding 7,000mAh — the Turbo 5’s rumored battery size would put it at the front of the pack. If the leaks prove accurate, Xiaomi could be targeting users who prioritize endurance above all else, potentially marketing the Turbo 5 as the phone that finally ends “battery anxiety.”
Further specifications, release timing, and pricing information are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
