Xiaomi subsidiary Redmi will unveil the Redmi Turbo 3 on April 10, positioning itself as a performance-oriented midrange offering with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset support.
Redmi Turbo 3 Pricing
Contrary to expectations for an ultra-budget Redmi device price point, General Manager Wang Teng recently indicated in a Weibo post that Redmi's Turbo 3 will likely exceed 2000 Yuan (roughly $290 USD). He attributes this change in strategy mainly due to Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Series Processors being one of the costliest components found within.
Understanding The Pricing Strategy
Teng notes that even previous Snapdragon 8 series chips, including last year's Gen 2 models, start at an approximate minimum price of 2300 yuan currently; hence it seems implausible that Redmi Turbo 3 will cost less than 2000 yuan.
Redmi Turbo 3 Specifications
Redmi Turbo 3 offers an elegant design featuring gently rounded corners, metal framing, and prominent camera cutouts on its rear side. Measuring only 7.8mm thin and weighing just 179g, its AMOLED display boasts 1.5K resolution with minimal bezels; powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset for optimal performance; available variants will boast up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage capacities.
Rage Engine 3.0 stands out in performance benchmarks like AnTuTu and prioritizes sustainable gaming capabilities through efficient cooling mechanisms and software optimization with its revolutionary Rage Engine v3.
Battery capacity remains unclear, though an expected 5000mAh capacity with 90W fast charging is expected. Camera details remain elusive; speculations based on possible rebranded models (Poco F6) suggest there could be one primary 50MP sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens and two 2MP macro lenses.
