It is first member might be referred to as Redmi Turbo 3, and it is likely to be a brand new identify for the Redmi Observe 13 Turbo.
In a prolonged submit, adopted by a Q&A session on social media, Wang defined the thought behind Turbo – it will likely be a lineup of telephones that may “reshape the midrange market”.
By the appears to be like of it, the Redmi Okay telephones will stay the “flagship killer” gadgets, the Redmi Turbo will match under them with a give attention to efficiency, whereas the Redmi Observe will stability with higher digital camera setups.
The primary telephone within the collection is Turbo 3 as a result of it’s the third telephone within the Redmi portfolio, aiming to offer uncooked efficiency at a cheaper price (on the expense of different flagship specs) – the primary was the Redmi Observe 11T Professional, after which it was the Redmi Observe 12 Turbo; clearly, we aren’t getting a Observe 13 Turbo.
