The device has already been launched in China, revealing most of the features and specifications expected for the Indian variant. The Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to sport a 6.59-inch flat 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is also tipped to pair the Dimensity 8500 Ultra with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
In terms of optics, the smartphone is said to feature a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary camera alongside an 8MP ultra-wide sensor.

Redmi brand market share in India:
According to the latest quarterly shipment data from Counterpoint Research and the International Data Corporation (IDC), Xiaomi—the parent company of the Redmi brand—holds a 12% to 12.2% market share in India, positioning it as the fourth-largest vendor in the country.
Xiaomi traditionally performed very well in budget and entry-level phones, but that segment has seen weaker demand and a decline in shipments as the market pivots toward premium models.
The Indian smartphone market has seen a rapid shift toward offline purchasing (more than 50% of sales). Rivals like Vivo, Samsung, and OPPO have dominated this retail landscape with established distribution channels.
Brands like Apple and Samsung now command significantly higher value (revenue) share in India, whereas Xiaomi’s primary focus remains on volume through its budget Redmi line.
