The Story in Brief
Xiaomi has launched the Redmi 17 5G and Redmi 17 4G in select global markets. The 4G variant is offered in Black, Deep Blue, Lotus Purple, and Oak Green colours, while the 5G model comes in different shades. Separately, a retailer listing for the Redmi Note 17 4G reveals a 6.83-inch AMOLED 1.5K display with 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 processor, a 7,700mAh battery with 45W charging, and a 50-megapixel rear camera.
A review of the Redmi Note 17 notes the phone offers a larger display and new design but falls short in other areas, making it hard to recommend amid the brand's ongoing memory supply issues. Meanwhile, Xiaomi has also unveiled the Redmi K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max in China, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V chipset, an 8,580mAh battery, and a 200-megapixel camera.
The Indian Opinion
Redmi fans are fed two conflicting narratives: budget beasts that excel on paper versus real-world phones compromised by component shortages. The 7,500mAh battery and 200-megapixel camera sound impressive, but the review's warning about poor overall performance should make buyers pause. Watch for how Xiaomi's 'memory crisis' affects availability and pricing in India, or whether the Redmi 17 can truly deliver on its specs.
