April 9th update: Redmi Turbo 3 is poised for its official debut tomorrow.
As the latest addition to the Redmi Turbo series, this device marks the premiere of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s third-generation processor, a chip co-defined by Xiaomi and Qualcomm.
Reportedly, the third-generation Snapdragon 8s processor adopts a 1+4+3 CPU architecture. Despite its slightly lower clock speed compared to the second-generation Snapdragon 8, leveraging an advanced ultra-large core architecture, the Redmi Turbo 3 achieves an impressive Antutu V10 benchmark score of 1.75 million points, making it one of the most powerful mid-range models in history.
Wang Teng, from Redmi, pointed out that chips constitute the most expensive part of a mobile device. Even with last year's second-generation Snapdragon 8 series, the starting price is no less than 2300 CNY. With Turbo 3 equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8s, an additional nearly one billion CNY has been invested. Therefore, the pricing will not be below 2000 CNY.
Furthermore, Wang Teng also mentioned that Turbo 3 will offer a variety of memory options, not only introducing a 16GB+1TB version but also starting with a configuration of 12GB+256GB.
In terms of appearance, the Redmi Turbo 3 emphasizes a slim design, with a thickness of only 7.8mm and a weight of 179g, ensuring prolonged use without fatigue.
The front adopts an ultra-narrow border straight screen design, providing an excellent visual experience. The gold color scheme and square edge design give the body an outstanding texture.
