This is the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. At first sight, everyone will be asking: Is it an iPhone 16? Yeah I kind of had the same question in my head when I first got my hands on it. Anyway, there are three highlights on this phone, first, the design, then the SnapDragon 8S Gen 4, and the massive 7550mAh battery.
Now this phone could be a POCO phone in the future, but if you want it right now, you can buy it from Geekwills, with a very friendly starting price. And there is a Harry Potter edition of it.
Design
In fact, this phone is just a Pro version that gets rid of some elements from the Turbo 4, which makes it more minimalist. The back panel, they call it soft matte glass, is indeed very fine and smooth, and it does not show fingerprints that easily. It is completely flat, and the frame extends a little bit to the back panel, so the feel in hand is very good.
Speaking of the frame, it is made of aluminum alloy with a very delicate finish. I know many of you were expecting a metal frame on the Turbo series, and finally it’s here, this makes the overall feel even better than the K series from Redmi. Lastly, like the special white version of the Turbo 4, the ring lights around the cameras are kept, to be used as notifications. You can customize the color and brightness of it, a good design to have.
At the front, the screen is also flat, 1.5K, 3200nits peak brightness at a 25% window, along with some other features. The lower bezel is 0.4mm thicker than the upper bezel, and honestly, I can’t really tell the difference, even after looking at it for a long time.
The phone is 6.83”, meaning a Pro Max size. Not iPhone 16 like now, huh!
So overall, it has a better design than you wouldn’t expect, and certainly worth the price tag so far.
Performance
Of course, the performance is the main thing when you look at the Turbo series. This phone comes with SnapDragon 8S Gen4, a 4nm processor, the first phone that comes with this chipset. The 8S Gen3 had a overall good reputation, so what about this 8S Gen4?
We ran Genshin Impact on it, the frame rate was maintained at 60FPS for the first 15mins, then it dropped to 50FPS in the last min. And the average power consumption is 6.3W. This performance is not the best, but since it’s close to the 8 Gen 3, it meets the expectation. And right after the test, the temp of the phone, front and back, got to 49 degrees Celsius. Which is a figure that my hands can’t stand anymore. What do you think about the performance? Let us know in the comment section.
For gaming, of course there is the Wild Boost mode for it, along with some gamer exclusive features.
Battery
Then the battery size is 7550mAh, bigger than the Turbo 4. Here is a table for a comparison with other phones released recently. As you can see, the regular phone battery capacity has stepped to 7000+mAh level, and this Turbo 4 Pro is taking the lead right now, it is safe to say without any real power use, it can last for 2 days without any problem.
It also comes with a 90W charger, it can charge the battery to full in about 50mins. It also supports 22.5W reverse charging, so it can definitely save your buddy’s iPhone and some earbuds without a problem. I’d say Redmi is very confident with the battery this time, and maybe this kind of high power reverse charging will be a standard in the future.
Overall Experience
The fingerprint unlock area is very close to the bottom, not quite a friendly design, but understandable as a budget-friendly phone.
The camera combo is exactly like the Turbo 4, nothing has changed. Here are some quick shots of the phone.
The HyperOS 2 on this phone feels very smooth, and the animation is very well designed.
Verdict
So overall, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is a phone that has a redefined design, with a flat screen and back panel, an aluminum frame, you would love to see these. And then it comes with 8S Gen4 processor and a massive 7550mAh battery, which will make day-to-day use and gaming a lot better. Still the camera performance is average. But with this kind of price, it’s already leading the competition. Again if you want to buy this phone, don’t forget to get it from Geekwills!
