Redmi seems to be preparing to launch the Redmi Turbo 4 and Turbo 4 Pro smartphones specifically for the Chinese market. There are indications that the Turbo 3 was rebranded as the Poco F6 for the global audience, leading to speculation that the Turbo 4 might be renamed the Poco F7 internationally. However, a recent leak from tipster Experience More has provided clarity on the rebranding of the Turbo 4 series. This leak also included some important specifications for the Turbo 4.
The Rebranding Saga
Last year, the Redmi K70e was introduced, and subsequently, the Redmi Turbo 3 came out in April of this year. Interestingly, the brand does not intend to release the Redmi K80e this year. Instead, the upcoming Redmi Turbo 4 will take the place of the K70e. The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is anticipated to launch in April 2025, succeeding the Turbo 3.
Rebranding is a common practice for Redmi, with many of their phones appearing under the Poco brand worldwide. The Redmi K70e and Turbo 3 were relabeled as the Poco X6 Pro and Poco F6, respectively. Similarly, it is expected that the Redmi Turbo 4 and Turbo 4 Pro will be marketed as the Poco X7 Pro and Poco F7 in global markets. Let’s delve into the expected features of the Redmi Turbo 4 / Poco X7 Pro.
