Xiaomi has officially announced the Redmi Turbo 3 - part of a new product line called Turbo from the company's sub-brand Redmi.
According to Redmi CEO Wang Teng, this product line will be one step below the K series. While the K series smartphones focus on hardware and provide the best high-end experience, the Turbo phone is positioned differently.

This new line is also classified as flagship, but it will not have the most powerful SoC. Instead, it will be above the mid-range smartphone and one step below the high-end segment, or simply put, this is a product in the “near-high-end” segment.
In its statement, Xiaomi said that the Redmi Turbo 3 will be officially launched in China on April 10, while also confirming the phone's SoC information.
Key specifications on Redmi Turbo 3.
As expected, the device will come with Qualcomm's recently launched Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, a chip that is not as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but is a step up from the previous generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
This SoC placement puts the Redmi Turbo 3 well above mid-range devices, but a bit behind current flagship smartphones. But the good news is that even without the most powerful mobile SoC, the Redmi Turbo 3 still managed to score 1,754,299 on the AnTuTu test - a very respectable score. For reference, the ROG Phone 8 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has the highest score at 2,141,448 points, so the Redmi Turbo 3 will be close to the most powerful smartphone available today.
Great performance score on the product.
When it comes to design, the official teaser reveals that it will have a dual camera setup on the back. The product also has three color options for users to choose from.
Leak expert Digital Chat Station has just posted information that the Redmi K70 Ultra will come with LPDDR5T RAM - a relatively new component on the market. Only Vivo X100 and X100 Pro terminals are equipped with this type of RAM, but Redmi K70 Ultra can surpass its Vivo rival by equipping a more spacious RAM capacity.
Redmi K70 Pro is about to get an impressive upgrade.
In its report, Digital Chat Station says that the new product will offer 24GB of RAM. Keep in mind that Vivo's high-end device is limited to 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM. If this information is confirmed, the Redmi K70 Ultra will be the first smartphone on the market to integrate the new 24GB LPDDR5T RAM.
On Weibo, Digital Chat Station has revealed more about Redmi's new high-end device. It seems that Xiaomi's generosity will not stop at RAM as the product could come with up to 1TB of internal storage.
Inside, the Redmi K70 Ultra is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 chip. On the front, there will be an OLED display capable of delivering 1.5K resolution and a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. Furthermore, the new Redmi will have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance as well as an aluminum frame to provide longer battery life throughout its usage.
Redmi K70 Ultra will be the first smartphone with 24GB LPDDR5T RAM on the market.
The Redmi K70 Ultra is expected to initially be available only in the Chinese market before launching globally. However, there is no confirmation yet on whether it will be available in all regions.
