- The tipster also claims that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series could arrive in India by December.
- The Redmi 17 5G is positioned as a more affordable, battery-focused smartphone. It features a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and is powered by the 6nm Unisoc T8300 chipset, paired with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
- The Redmi 17 5G also gets a 13MP rear camera, 8MP selfie camera, and a 6,300mAh battery with 15W charging support.
- The Redmi Note 17 Pro is the more premium option with a 6.83-inch 1.5K 120Hz OLED display and up to 3,500 nits peak brightness. It uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
- Its biggest highlight is a huge 9,000mAh battery, backed by 67W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging. The phone also carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, along with stereo speakers and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
- The biggest headline could be the Xiaomi 18 Pro, reportedly headed to India by December and expected to feature a small secondary display on the rear.
