Redmi Turbo 5 was just launched in India, meanwhile OnePlus Nord 6 has been available for a few months now.

Redmi Turbo 5 has been launched in India in two memory variants: 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB for Rs 37,999 and Rs 40,999. With bank discounts, the Redmi Turbo 5 will effectively be available for a lesser price (the discount is of Rs 2,000 with select bank cards).
