Redmi Unveils Turbo 4: Anticipation for Pro Model Grows
This month marked the launch of the Redmi Turbo 4, with expectations building around the upcoming Turbo 4 Pro, set to debut later this year. Initial speculation suggested that this enhanced version would incorporate a robust 7,500 mAh battery, although subsequent discussions indicated a potential reduction to “just over 7,000 mAh.”
Recent reports have emerged reinforcing earlier claims about the Pro model’s battery capacity. Sources indicate that through prototype evaluations, a battery size of 7,500 mAh has been “validated.” However, it’s essential to approach this information with caution until an official announcement is made.

Potential for Even Larger Batteries on the Horizon
In an intriguing development, rumors suggest that Redmi is currently experimenting with an impressive 8,000 mAh battery intended for future devices—possibly within their forthcoming K90 lineup.
The Shift in Smartphone Design Trends
This trend among Chinese smartphone manufacturers represents a collective pivot from prioritizing ultrafast charging capabilities towards integrating redmi-and-oneplus-devices-will-pack-even-more-battery-life/” title=”Get Ready for Power: Next Year’s Redmi and OnePlus Devices Will Pack Even More Battery Life!”>larger batteries into their devices—a move that many consumers will undoubtedly appreciate. This change has been facilitated by advancements in Silicon-Carbon technology which allows for greater energy density within existing dimensions.
A Call for Charging Time Improvements
As we witness this race towards larger battery capacities calming down slightly, it is hoped that attention will shift back towards enhancing charging speeds. Not too long ago, reaching full charge from zero took approximately just under twenty minutes; however, current industry standards now seem stuck at around thirty-five to forty minutes as a baseline. Interestingly enough, Samsung appears disconnected from these shifts in dynamics.
