The long-anticipated REDMI Turbo 4, whose presentation was going to happen in December 2024, has just been postponed to 2025. This news comes directly from internal Xiaomi teams, and these words have left the enthusiasts really sad because this model had to be the real successor of the Redmi Turbo 3.
Realme Neo 7: the Unexpected Reason Behind Its Pricing
The main reason for such an unexpected delay is reportedly Realme’s upcoming Neo 7. Realme’s aggressive pricing strategy would be around 1999/2099/2199 Yuan for Neo 7, which had further threatened the competitive scenario. And for a smartphone of this caliber, pricing remains extremely attractive, hence forcing Xiaomi to actually not go ahead with the release of REDMI Turbo 4 as it was. It is believed that, in order for the REDMI Turbo 4 to remain competitive within the mid-range segment of the market, Xiaomi wants to take some more time to adjust the pricing before the official launch of Turbo 4.
POCO X7 Pro: The Glimmer of Hope for Global Fans
While the launch of the REDMI Turbo 4 was delayed, here is the good news for the Xiaomi fanboys around: POCO has just revealed its new POCO X7 Pro, which happens to be a rebadged version of REDMI Turbo 4. Interesting is the fact that this time, POCO X7 Pro is expected first in Global and Indian markets ahead of their China release. This now highlights the growing focus toward international markets by POCO to give global users a head start with getting an early feel of their devices.
What to Expect from the REDMI Turbo 4/POCO X7 Pro?
Although sad for the delay, it will be worth waiting to see what the REDMI Turbo 4 and its POCO counterpart will bring:
- A MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset provides flagship-level performance.
- Sleek design: slim, symmetrical bezels, and an overall curved aesthetic-just like an iPhone.
- 1.5K 120hz display to ensure a fine viewing quality.
- A huge 6,000mAh battery supported by 90W fast charging for extended usage.
Final Thoughts
While the REDMI Turbo 4 delay to 2025 was quite a surprise, it simply reflected the commitment of Xiaomi toward a competitive product in the fast-changing market. Contrariwise, POCO X7 Pro, promising to keep the excitement alive, has promised to launch earlier outside China. So, are you hyped about the REDMI Turbo 4 and POCO X7 Pro?
