Whenever budget smartphones are mentioned, Redmi phones always make the list. In today's fiercely competitive smartphone market, Redmi has maintained high market attention with its outstanding performance and continuous technological innovations.
The key is that Redmi's models have always been very balanced, even though they offer ultimate value for money, they rarely lack in features.
In this scenario, competitors often cut some details to emphasize ultimate value for money, which usually leaves Redmi phones with few rivals.
However, since the release of the Redmi Turbo 3, it has sparked some controversy in the smartphone market, with many users feeling that it can't compete with the models from competitors.
One of the reasons why the Redmi Turbo 3 has received criticism from many consumers is due to its battery life not being particularly impressive, with some even saying it's not as powerful as its competitors.
The data shows that the Redmi Turbo 3 comes with a 5000mAh battery and supports 90W fast charging, which indeed falls short compared to its competitors offering 5500mAh and 100W fast charging.
However, with this battery capacity, the device maintains a slim profile at 7.8mm thickness and a lightweight of only 179g, which contributes to a great overall feel of the product.
Nevertheless, most consumers still consider a larger battery capacity to be more crucial, as the feel alone may not be enough to drive their desire to choose it.
Perhaps due to the significant controversy, there is suddenly news in the market about the Redmi Turbo 3 receiving a minor iteration, giving the author a sense that the Redmi Turbo 3 is losing its appeal.
Although in the smartphone market, iterative upgrades have become a norm, with manufacturers continuously improving products to meet market and consumer demands.
However, for a new product like the Redmi Turbo 3, which was recently launched, the arrival of a minor iteration version is indeed somewhat unexpected.
According to the leaker, this minor iteration version has seen significant improvements in battery capacity and configuration, seemingly aimed at addressing its shortcomings.
Although the Redmi Turbo 3 already comes with a decent battery capacity, the minor iteration further enhances this aspect.
This means users can enjoy longer standby time and smoother gaming experiences without the need for frequent charging, significantly improving the overall user experience.
It remains to be seen how the core configuration will be upgraded, as the Redmi Turbo 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen3, coupled with LPDDR5X memory and UFS4.0 flash storage.
At the time, the official claim was that the AnTuTu V10 Lab scored 1,754,299 points, "performance on par with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2," supporting flagship technologies such as a 100 billion parameter large model and AON camera.
If further upgraded, the only options available would probably be the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor or the Dimensity 9300 processor. Choosing the Dimensity 8300 or Snapdragon 8 Gen2 wouldn't make much sense.
Looking back at the Redmi Turbo 3, it features a 6.67-inch Huaxing flexible OLED display with a resolution of 2712*1220.
Coupled with support for a 120Hz refresh rate, 480Hz touch sampling rate, 2160Hz instant touch sampling rate, 12-bit color depth, and a peak brightness exceeding 2400 nits.
If the 1.5K display is further enhanced, it's really hard to imagine how it could change. These are indeed aspects worth everyone's attention.
Of course, with the upcoming release of the Redmi Turbo 3 minor iteration, it undoubtedly brings more choices for consumers, even strengthening the confidence of loyal users.
While it sees improvements in battery capacity and specifications, it's important to approach this phenomenon rationally. For those who have already purchased the Redmi Turbo 3, they can decide whether to upgrade based on their own needs and budget.
As for those who have not made a purchase yet, they can choose the product that best suits their preferences and budget, without feeling obligated to do so.
After all, in the smartphone market, new products are being launched at an increasingly rapid pace, each bringing certain improvements and innovations. Therefore, we cannot expect any single phone to maintain a leading position indefinitely.
The final point to make is that the Redmi Turbo 3 itself is quite commendable, but how much surprise this minor iteration will bring remains unknown.
So here's the question: Will everyone look forward to the arrival of this minor iteration version? Feel free to reply and discuss.
