The first thing you see is a color-matching back cover that feels premium. Inside, you also get an 80W charger, a Type-A to Type-C cable, a SIM ejector tool, and a small cleaning brush — this brush is meant for cleaning the physical cooling fan inside the phone. When you first hold the device, it feels slightly large and weighs around 208–210 grams. The frame and back are made of polycarbonate, but the finish is so smooth that it almost feels like metal/glass.
Design & Build
The design screams gaming vibes — a racing theme, green line accents, and a circular cutout at the back which is actually the cooling fan. In the Turbo Pro, this fan is surrounded by a “Turbo Breathing Light” that glows in multiple colors, while the Turbo model has a “Turbo Luminous Ring.” You get three color options: Purple Phantom, Silver Knight, and Midnight Maverick. The phone feels wide and premium in-hand, with a thickness of about 8.2–8.3 mm. It’s also rated IPX6/IPX8/IPX9 for water and dust resistance, which is impressive in this category.
Display
On the front, you get a 6.8-inch flat 1.5K LTPS AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 240 Hz touch sampling rate. Bezels are slim, giving about 93% screen-to-body ratio. It’s a 10-bit panel with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. Peak brightness is up to 1600 nits, making it clear even under sunlight. For gaming, the flat display helps with a stable grip and quick touch response.
Performance & Gaming
The Turbo Pro is powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, while the Turbo uses Dimensity 8450. Based on early benchmark tests, the Pro can score around 2.1 million on AnTuTu, and the Turbo around 1.75 million — these figures may vary depending on testing conditions. In gaming, BGMI runs at up to 120 fps (Ultra Extreme settings), and Genshin Impact plays smoothly at 60 fps. GPU stability is roughly ~83% on the Pro and ~70% on the Turbo (estimated from initial test reports). Cooling hardware includes a 7,000 sq mm vapor cooling chamber, a graphite layer (manufacturer-claimed size), and a physical fan spinning at up to 18,000 RPM. The fan activates automatically during gaming, charging, or heavy use, and can also be switched on manually.
Audio & Haptics
Stereo speakers on the top and bottom produce loud and clear sound. Watching videos or gaming feels immersive. Haptic feedback feels premium in daily typing and gaming (personal impression).
Battery & Charging
Both models have a 7,000 mAh battery with 80 W fast wired charging. Bypass charging is supported to reduce heat while gaming. With normal use, you can expect around 1.5–2 days of battery life.
Camera Capabilities
Rear: 50 MP main camera + 2 MP depth sensor. Front: 16 MP selfie camera. Daylight shots offer good colors and detail, but low-light images are average. No ultra-wide or telephoto lens is included. Video recording supports up to 4K 60 fps on the rear and 1080p 30 fps on the front. AI features like AI Eraser and AI Unblur are available (based on software tools provided).
Connectivity & Software
Supports Wi-Fi 6/7, Bluetooth 5.4, IR blaster, full 5G band coverage, NFC (on some variants), and dual nano-SIM slots. Runs ColorOS 15 (Android 15) with 2 years of major updates and 3 years of security updates. Comes with some pre-installed apps, but these can be removed. Gaming features include Game Assistant, Silent Launch, and Auto Recording.

Verdict & Recommendation
