Design and Display
The Redmi Turbo 5 Max is built around a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 68 billion colours, a 120Hz refresh rate and 3840Hz PWM dimming. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HDR Vivid, and peaks at 3500 nits, so it stays readable even in harsh sunlight. The panel is 1280 x 2772 (19.5:9, around 447 ppi), with a centre punch-hole for the 20MP front camera.
- 163 x 77.9 x 8.2 mm, 219 g — glass front, aluminium frame, glass back.
- IP68/IP69K rated against dust and water.
- Under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor; stereo speakers; no 3.5mm headphone jack.
- Colours: Black, White, Blue, Orange.
Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500s (3 nm) is the flagship chip in this phone, with a 3.73 GHz Cortex-X925 prime core plus Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 cores, backed by the Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU. It comes with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage (UFS 4.1), with no microSD slot. A 16GB + 1TB variant was added in February 2026 in limited quantities. It runs Android 16 with HyperOS 3. This is the Max — the base Turbo 5 (B3 in this batch) uses the Dimensity 8500 Ultra and a 7540mAh battery; the Max is the flagship-chip, big-battery version.
Camera
- Main: 50MP, f/1.5, 26mm (wide), 1/1.95″, PDAF, OIS.
- Ultrawide: 8MP, f/2.2, 15mm.
- Selfie: 20MP, f/2.2, (wide).
- Video: 4K@30/60fps, 1080p@30/60/120/240/960fps, gyro-EIS, HDR10+ (main); 1080p@30/60fps (selfie).
Battery and Charging
The 9000mAh silicon-carbon battery is the largest in the Turbo 5 family. Charging is 100W wired with 100W PPS and PD3.0, and 27W reverse wired charging for topping up accessories. The USB Type-C 2.0 port supports OTG.
Software
Android 16 with HyperOS 3. The phone launched in China in January 2026 — it is a China-only model, so the software is the Chinese HyperOS 3 build; buyers should check Google services and language support before importing.
Price in Pakistan
The Redmi Turbo 5 Max is a China-only phone that reached Pakistan through importers. MobileDokan’s (CN) rows convert to Rs. 120,999 (12GB + 256GB), Rs. 133,999 (12GB + 512GB) and Rs. 144,999 (16GB + 512GB) — those are the prices used here, all Expected. zmobiles lists the phone at Rs. 147,000–197,000 depending on PTA status and variant, and bestmobile expects Rs. 179,999 — both sit above the MobileDokan conversions, which is the usual import wedge on a China price, and the gap is stated openly rather than hidden. The 16GB + 256GB and 16GB + 1TB variants have no MobileDokan price rows, so they have no price rows here. All prices are Expected (imported, non-PTA unless stated); PTA tax is not yet confirmed.
12GB + 256GB (CN) — Expected: Rs. 120,999
12GB + 512GB (CN) — Expected: Rs. 133,999
16GB + 512GB (CN) — Expected: Rs. 144,999
| Model | Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 5 Max |
| Price | PKR. 120,999 (Expected) |
| Display | 6.83″ AMOLED, 120Hz, 1280×2772 |
| RAM | 12GB / 16GB |
| ROM | 256GB / 512GB |
| Released | January 2026 |
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and exact model before paying — the Turbo 5 Max (Dimensity 9500s, 9000mAh) is a different phone from the base Turbo 5 (Dimensity 8500 Ultra, 7540mAh).
- Confirm the warranty (importer/shop warranty — there is no official Xiaomi Pakistan launch for this phone).
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS; the 60-day registration window applies, and the PTA-approved price runs well above the non-PTA price (zmobiles’ range is 147,000–197,000).
- Check that the software is the Chinese HyperOS 3 build and confirm Google services work as expected.
Final Verdict: A 9000mAh flagship-chip phone at Rs. 120,999 — if you buy it as an import
The Turbo 5 Max’s Dimensity 9500s chip, 9000mAh battery with 100W charging, 120Hz AMOLED at 3500 nits and IP68/IP69K build are a serious package at Rs. 120,999. Its weakest points are the basic 8MP ultrawide with no telephoto, no headphone jack, no FM radio and no microSD slot. The catch is the import: it is a China-only phone, so warranty, PTA status and the Chinese software build all need checking before paying — and the PTA-approved price runs toward Rs. 197,000.
