They’ve skipped the Redmi Note 16 lineup, which was technically the next number after the Note 15. The company wants to unveil the next series under the Redmi Note 17 branding. Apparently, they intend to streamline the name tags of their devices, so the flagship Xiaomi 17 series matches the next midrange family. Redmi Note 17 has already made it to the GSMA database. The file had its exact name and model number. 26012RN62L is the code they assigned to it. This is going to be a 4G device. It’s in the entry range, of course. Because we don’t see high-end 4G chips anymore. Preliminary specs put a 6000mAh battery on the handset and possibly a Helio chip. The screen will be as big as 6.77”. It’s definitely an AMOLED with at least 1080p resolution, if not the more modern 1.5K resolution. And the refresh rate would be at least 120Hz. Redmi Note 15 has Android 15. So it makes sense that the next Redmi Note 17 will turn up with Android 16 and Hyper OS 3. These phones have always had dual speakers. The durability is always strong. And the screen also has optical fingerprint ID. Nothing can be said about the camera yet, because that specific area is always unpredictable. Redmi Note 17 will probably stack against the likes of SamsungGalaxy A17 and A27.
