Redmi Turbo 4 Pro: Harry Potter Magic Meets iPhone-Style Design
Xiaomi continues its tradition of launching eye-catching limited-edition smartphones with the new Harry Potter-themed Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. This follows shortly after their Iron Man-themed Poco X7 Pro, demonstrating the company's commitment to creating devices that appeal to both tech enthusiasts and pop culture fans.
Design and Price
The standard Redmi Turbo 4 Pro borrows design elements from the iPhone 16, featuring a flat glass-metal sandwich construction and vertically aligned dual cameras. It's significantly more budget-friendly though, with a starting price of 1,999 Yuan (approximately ₹23,436), making it an attractive mid-range option compared to premium offerings like the iPhone 16.
Performance Powerhouse
The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, making it the world's first smartphone to feature this latest chipset. This powerful processor, combined with generous RAM options (12GB in the base model and 16GB in the high-end variant) and storage configurations (256GB to 1TB), delivers near-flagship performance at a mid-range price point.
Antutu Benchmark Scores
While specific Antutu benchmark scores haven't been officially confirmed, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor is expected to deliver impressive performance. Based on similar chipsets, we can anticipate scores potentially exceeding 1.5 million points on Antutu, positioning it competitively against other premium mid-range devices.
Harry Potter Special Edition
The Harry Potter edition goes beyond just themed packaging. The device itself features:
- Custom Harry Potter-themed back panel and camera array
- Specially designed accessories including a themed case, SIM ejector pin, charger, and documentation
- Custom HyperOS 2.0 (based on Android 15) with Harry Potter-themed icons, wallpapers, and UI elements
Availability in India
Currently, the Harry Potter edition is limited to the Chinese market. However, there's speculation that Xiaomi might introduce the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro in India under the Poco branding, possibly as the Poco F7, following the pattern of the Poco F6 which had a Deadpool edition in India.
As for the Indian pricing, if the device reaches Indian shores, it would likely be priced between ₹25,000 to ₹30,000, based on current conversion rates and Xiaomi's typical pricing strategy for the Indian market. However, even if the standard version launches in India, the Harry Potter edition might not make it to the Indian market, similar to how the Iron Man-themed Poco X7 Pro remained exclusive to China.
