Design & Build Quality
The Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 offers a sleek and modern design, measuring 161 x 75.2 x 8.1 mm and weighing 203.5 g (not too heavy for a big-screen smartphone). It has an IP68 rating for dust/water resistance, meaning it is dustproof and can survive water submersion up to 2 meters deep for up to 30 minutes. The device feels hewn from rough iron in hand and makes for a good choice for those known to batter their devices or live in the tropics.
The Redmi Turbo 4 features a fashionable look with a high-gloss finish, making the three colour variants available—black, White, and Blue—stand out. Dual SIM support adds to its list of features, particularly for those who juggle two numbers, though the lack of expandable storage may be a turn-off for others.
Display: A Visual Delight
The Redmi Turbo 4 is an all-in AMOLED device from Xiaomi. It features a 6.67-inch display with a resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels and a pixel density of 446 ppi, ensuring crisp and vivid display quality. The 120Hz refresh rate offers a smooth scrolling experience and touch response, which is lovely for gamers and those who use a lot of apps.
Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dynamic HDR Vivid compatibility means that the display quickly renders bright, detailed, and immersive content, be it HDR videos or graphic-intensive games. In sunlight, it can be bright enough to make sure you see what you’re doing, and a peak brightness of 3200 nits paired with the fact that this panel gets much brighter than that in image processing should stand you in good stead for great outdoor visibility.
Performance: Mediatek Dimensity 8400 Ultra Chipset
On the hardware front, the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 is loaded with the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra SoC based on the 4nm architecture. The octa-core CPU (1×3. 25 GHz Cortex-A725, 3×3. 0 GHz Cortex-A725, and 4×2. 1 GHz Cortex-A725) delivers smooth performance, whether you’re multitasking, running demanding apps, or playing games. It’s powered by either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and comes in 256GB or 512GB (UFS 4.0) internal storage models, so handling whatever you throw at it should be no problem. This is complemented by the Immortalis-G720 MC7 GPU, designed for power-hungry graphics applications and gaming without stuttering or lag.
The software is Android 15-based HyperOS 2, which is clean and smooth while packed with customization and optimization features.
Cameras: Your Lens To The World
On the optics front, the Redmi Turbo 4 boasts a dual rear camera setup that is versatile and powerful. Impressive Detail: The stunning new 50MP primary sensor has a super-wide f/1.5 aperture, PDAF (phase detection autofocus), and OIS (optical image stabilization) for jaw-dropping detail, brilliant color, and superb low-light performance. The 8MP ultrawide is a welcome inclusion, allowing for spectacular 15mm focal length shots. Combining PDAF and OIS also helps keep images sharp and clear under challenging conditions.
For selfies and video calls, the 20MP front camera with decent quality will generally be good enough for social users or those who need a capable front-facing camera to work.
When it comes to video, Redmi Turbo 4 is very decent. Video recording is supported in 4K at 24/30/60fps and 1080p in multiple frame rates (up to 960fps with super slow-motion video). Gyro-EIS stabilizes your videos, allowing smooth, steady footage, even in action shots.
Audio: Immersive Stereo Sound
As for the sound, Xiaomi also eliminated the well-known 3.5mm headphone jack in its Turbo 4, leaving only the stereo for use with speakers, which, in this case, makes the devices paired enough. Multi-channel, Hi-Res Audio (24-bit/192kHz), both wired and wireless, is supported, providing the best-in-class sound for music lovers. Whether you’re watching a movie or listening to your favourite songs, the sound quality experience is top-notch, and that says something for the phone’s price sector.
Battery sura: 24 hours of some serious usage
Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 comes with a powerful 6550 mAh battery. For users who are always on the grind, the phone supports 90W wired fast charging that can get you 100% charged in around 45 minutes, which is a fantastic option for those who are always playing catch-up. This phone should last through even heavy use for a full day—perfect for power users who demand all-day battery life.
Connectivity 2030: Future-Proof Features
Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 supports various connectivity options. It’s 5G capable, so you’ll be ready for next-gen network speeds. It also supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and Infrared, so you know it is compatible with a wide variety of devices. You also get good data transfer, device pairing, and location services. USB Type-C is also present, with fast charging and data transfer speeds, but the lack of a radio may seem a little unusual to those who still use FM radio.
