On the same day, Lei Jun announced that he would gift the SU7s to Redmi CEO, Wang Teng Thomas, if the first sales target of the new Redmi Turbo 3 phone is met. This announcement came right after Redmi officially announced the Turbo 3's launch date of 10 April.

Wang Teng also mentioned that the Redmi team has done a great job with the Turbo 3 and is confident of sales success with everyone's support. He also remarked that if the Redmi team achieves its goal with the Redmi Turbo 3, it will offer some benefits to consumers.

As for the new phone, it is positioned as a "flagship killer" and is the first product of Redmi's new Turbo series. This phone will be powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, which is essentially a stripped down version of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and is aimed at mid-range, performance-focused devices.
