Xiaomi Mall in China has just updated its repair fee schedule for the Redmi Turbo 5 Max flagship model. According to the update, the cost of fixing hardware issues on this device varies greatly between components, with the motherboard being considered the most expensive part, accounting for a significant portion of the phone's value.
Details of the price list for genuine parts
According to Xiaomi's published list, the replacement price for the 6.83-inch OLED screen is 560 yuan (approximately 2.09 million VND). The large-capacity 9,000mAh battery costs 199 yuan (approximately 745,000 VND) as a replacement part. This is a fairly competitive price for a battery with advanced technology.
Below is a summary of the component costs for the Redmi Turbo 5 Max:
| Accessory | Price (in Chinese Yuan) | Exchange rate (VND - Reference) |
|---|---|---|
| 6.83-inch OLED screen | 560 | ~2.09 million |
| 9,000mAh battery | 199 | ~745 thousand |
| Main camera (50MP) | 85 | ~317 thousand |

The cost burden from motherboards
Most notably, the cost of repairing the motherboard varies depending on the device's memory configuration. Specifically, the 12GB + 256GB version costs 2,040 yuan (approximately 7.62 million VND). The 16GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB options cost 2,140 yuan (approximately 7.99 million VND). The most expensive is the 16GB + 512GB motherboard, priced at 2,350 yuan (approximately 8.78 million VND).
The reason for the high cost of these motherboards is the tight integration of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset, manufactured on a 3nm process, along with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 internal storage. When any core component fails, technicians often have to replace the entire motherboard, leading to significantly increased costs.
Impressive hardware power in its segment.
Besides the cost of components, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max stands out with its 9,000mAh battery using Jinshajiang cell technology, supporting 100W fast charging. The device is equipped with a 3D cooling system and Rampage Engine technology to optimize performance when gaming at 2.5K resolution.
The device's screen uses M10 OLED material with a 1.5K resolution, reaching a maximum brightness of 3,500 nits and supporting 3840Hz PWM dimming for eye protection. The device also meets the highest current water and dust resistance standards of IP66-IP69K and integrates a modern ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
For users in the Vietnamese market who prioritize performance and battery life, the POCO F8 Pro is a worthwhile alternative with its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and comparable features.
