Xiaomi today unveiled two new smartphones from the Redmi Note series. Meet Redmi Note 17 and the Redmi Note 17 Pro!

Although the new series lacks the announced Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, the new models don't disappoint with capacious batteries, and also stand out with large screens. They are slightly less impressive in terms of photography, and they are mid-range in terms of performance. The appearance of the Redmi Note 17 series is also unlikely to impress – the styling is very simple.

Redmi Note 17

Redmi Note 17 features a 7-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2396x1080 pixels, a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, and brightness of up to 1800 nits. The screen features a punch-hole for an 8-megapixel selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture, while on the back there's a standard 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.8 aperture. The smartphone uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 processor, supported by LPDDR4x and UFS 2.2 memory, and is powered by an 8,000 mAh battery that charges at 45W via wired charging and supports reverse charging at 22.5W. The smartphone features Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on the display and an IP65-rated casing. Other features include an infrared transmitter, a microSD card slot, and NFC. The Note 17 measures 169.7 x 79.14 x 8.26 mm and weighs 225 g.
