Moreover, some reports claim the Redmi Turbo 5 Max scored over 3.61 million on AnTuTu V11, becoming the world’s first smartphone powered by the Dimensity 9500s chip with an all-big-core CPU and a 12-core GPU.
Built on a 3 nm process, the chip promises improved power efficiency and better thermal management, positioning it as a challenger to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8-series chipset.
For the Indian market, the device could be rebranded under the POCO lineup, as a new POCO smartphone with model number 2602BPC18I has been spotted on the BIS certification website.
In India, the device could rival the OnePlus 15R, which launched in December 2025 and is powered by the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with a 3.8GHz prime core.
Beyond raw performance, both phones are comparable in terms of body curvature and weight, while the 7,400mAh optimized battery is expected to deliver all-day battery life.
