Xiaomi officially reveals more specs of Redmi Turbo 5 Max ahead of imminent debut

Xiaomi is set to be among the first manufacturers to launch a smartphone that's powered by the Dimensity 9500s, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max. Recently, the company has shared the rated battery capacity and the design of the sub-flagship phone, and now, the official charging specs are out.

With a recent teaser, Xiaomi has confirmed that the Redmi Turbo 5 Max will feature the Surge P3 charging chip. This will enable up to 27W of reverse charging, allowing users to take proper advantage of the large battery inside. With this, the phone can essentially work as a power bank when needed.

The teaser has also confirmed that the Turbo 5 Max has support for 100W fast charging, which should make the 9,000mAh battery inside go from 0% to 100% quickly (140W Anker charger curr. $64.99 on Amazon). Xiaomi mentions that the phone supports the PPS protocol, known for its efficiency and battery protection features.

Speaking of which, Xiaomi claims that the 9,000mAh battery inside can deliver "full performance" for up to 1,600 charge cycles. With moderate use, it would take 4 years or more to reach that cycle count.

Previously, Xiaomi claimed that internal endurance tests proved that the battery of the Turbo 5 Max can outlast devices with batteries larger than 10,000mAh. That is, Xiaomi is claiming that the upcoming Redmi phone can beat the recently launched Honor Win phones in terms of battery endurance. While the efficiency of the Dimensity 9500s and optimizations could make it possible, it would still be a good idea to take these claims with a pinch of salt until independent reviews back them up.
