6.9-Inch 120Hz display
Both handsets come with a big 6.9-inch HD+ display that runs at 120Hz. The touch sampling rate goes up to 240Hz, so everything feels snappy and smooth. You get peak brightness up to 825 nits and 83 per cent NTSC colour coverage, so colours pop and the screen holds up well outdoors. Xiaomi gives you Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection and TÜV Rheinland certifications for low blue light and flicker-free viewing, so your eyes won’t tire too fast. Both models also have an IP64 rating, so dust and splashes aren’t a worry.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 Powers Redmi 17 5G
Under the hood, the Redmi 17 5G uses Qualcomm’s 4nm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 chip, which goes up to 2.4GHz with an Adreno GPU. It comes with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. If you need more space, then there is support for microSD cards up to 2TB.
The Redmi 17 4G, on the other hand, runs on a 12nm MediaTek Helio G91-Ultra with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB eMMC 5.1 storage. Both models run HyperOS 3, based on Android 16.

Battery
But the battery is probably the star here. Both models pack a huge 7,500 mAh battery, supporting 45W wired charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging—so battery anxiety isn’t an issue.
