Emir BardakçıThe device anticipated to launch globally as the POCO X8 Pro has recently achieved a significant milestone, signaling its imminent release. Its Chinese counterpart, the Redmi Turbo 5, has successfully obtained radio certification under the model number 2511FRT34C. While this regulatory filing does not disclose specific hardware details, it is a critical and mandatory step before a new product can be officially announced. This development strongly suggests that both the Chinese and global launches, including the upcoming POCO X8 Pro, are proceeding on schedule, with an official reveal expected in the near future.
Certification and Global Variants
The certification process is a standard procedure for all electronic devices, ensuring they comply with regional communication and safety standards. The appearance of the 2511FRT34C model in the Chinese database confirms the device’s existence and readiness for the market.
Furthermore, corresponding model numbers for the international market have also been identified. The models 2511FPC34G and 2511FPC34I are designated for the Global and Indian markets, respectively. This aligns with Xiaomi’s established strategy of launching devices under the Redmi brand in China and subsequently introducing them to a global audience under the POCO brand. While the names may differ, the core hardware is expected to be identical across these variants.
Expected Technical Specifications
Based on previous reports, the Redmi Turbo 5, and by extension the POCO X8 Pro, is shaping up to be a compelling device in the mid-range segment. The handset is rumored to feature a high-quality display and a substantial battery.
Key rumored specifications include:
- Display: A 6.67-inch flat LTPS OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution, promising sharp visuals and vibrant colors.
- Battery: A remarkably large 7,000 mAh battery, which would provide exceptional endurance and multi-day usage on a single charge.
- Software: The device is expected to run an advanced software version, potentially Android 16 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 interface, right out of the box.
