The Redmi Turbo 3 is scheduled to launch on April 10 in China. The device is the first offering of the Turbo series, which focuses on offering a flagship level of performance in the mid-range segment. This phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, which is a slightly stripped-down version of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In addition to the powerful silicon inside, it also boasts a pretty good flat AMOLED display.
The official teaser introduces the panel as the “Xiaomi Qingshan Eye Protection”, which comes with a 1.5K resolution and reaches 2400 nits of peak brightness. While this isn’t the highest figure comparable to some phones like the Realme GT Neo 6 SE, it’s still comparable to the flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra 2024, which supports 2600 nits of peak brightness.
In addition, the Redmi Turbo 3 display panel also boasts hardware solutions to reduce blue light emission, which is definitely a good thing if you use your phone at night. The panel is certified “Vision Health Friendly++” (translation) by the China Quality Certification Center.
Xiaomi notes that the display shows up to 68.7 billion colors. It also offers a hard 2160 Hz sampling rate, which helps in certain scenarios such as gaming.
The previous teaser also shows ultra-thin and almost symmetrical bezels around the display.
Overall, the phone has a flat design with flat sides and front panels. Notably, it is slightly contoured, similar to what Apple did with the iPhone 15 series to make it more comfortable to hold. According to reports, the screen diagonal is 6.67″, so the phone is quite large. It also has a 5000 mAh battery. However, the company revealed that the phone weighs only 179 grams. Its thickness is also 7.8 mm.
