Qualcomm is holding an event on March 18. We are expecting new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processors. There are reports of upcoming phones that will use the power of these processors. The latest news is around the Redmi Note 13 Turbo, let’s dig into the details.

The Redmi Note 13 series has multiple models. The series includes models such as Redmi Note 13 5G, Note 13 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, Redmi Note 13R and Redmi Note 13R Pro. Still, one model remains absent from the list: the Turbo variant.

Redmi Note 12 Turbo

We have seen Redmi launch the ‘Turbo’ version of its Note phone in China in previous series. Such as the Redmi Note 12 Turbo that came out last year. Globally, this phone was rebranded as POCO F5. Hence, we expect the upcoming Redmi Note 13 Turbo to also be rebranded as POCO F6 for the global market.

The new leak comes from Smart Pikachu. According to leaked information, the Redmi Note 13 Turbo will feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. Since the previous Redmi Note 12 Turbo featured the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, we expected the Note 13 Turbo to feature its successor. However, this leak suggests otherwise.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 could be a lower clocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Being a flagship processor, even the lower clocked variant will be impressive in performance. And the news that the higher mid-range Redmi phone will get this processor is something exciting. It could be a potential ‘flagship killer’ phone if it comes with this processor. However, we should know that this is just a leak for now and we have to wait for an official announcement.

As mentioned above, the Redmi Note 13 Turbo may be rebranded as POCO F6 for the global market. Speaking of the release, we expect it around April/May.
