The Story in Brief
Redmi Note 17 5G has gone on sale in India starting at ₹27,999. It packs an 8,000mAh battery with 45W charging, a 6.9-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chip. The phone sports a 50-megapixel main camera and up to 8GB RAM. Despite the large battery, it measures only 8.4mm thick and has an IP65 rating. The front is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.
It runs HyperOS 3 on Android 16, with four years of Android updates and six years of security patches. The design includes a flat frame and a rounded camera island, with a Starlight Purple colour option featuring a shooting-star pattern. The phone competes with models like the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion and OnePlus Nord CE 6.
The Indian Opinion
The Redmi Note 17's 8,000mAh battery is the headliner, but the hype around endurance should not distract from its modest 45W charging and entry-level Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 processor. The phone offers a large, vivid display and solid build, yet cameras remain basic with just a single 50MP sensor. Many buyers may prefer a more balanced package like the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion or a faster-charging competitor. The key question is whether battery life alone can sustain daily use over three to four years without performance lagging.
