A fresh Geekbench listing has given away most of what there is to know about the upcoming Redmi 17C 5G, and it turns out there isn’t much new here. The benchmark shows the phone under the codename “tornado,” which interestingly is also the codename for Redmi 15C 5G and the POCO C85 5G, both of which are already on sale in several markets.
Xiaomi already has a plain 4G version of the Redmi 15C out there too, so it’s clear the company is simply reshuffling the same hardware across its budget lineup under different names.

Going by the listing, the Redmi 17C 5G will run on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset that Xiaomi has already used across its budget 5G lineup this year. It’s not built for heavy gaming, but it should handle everyday tasks smoothly while keeping power draw low.
Not much has leaked about the Redmi 17C 5G, but if it’s a rebrand you can expect a large 6.9-inch LCD panel with 720p resolution. Camera-wise, the device is likely to house a 50MP main sensor for photos and an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls.
As for battery, you can expect a 6,000mAh cell with 33W fast charging support. The phone is also expected to launch with Android 16 right out of the box, running on top of Xiaomi’s HyperOS.
So far, the Redmi 17C 5G is tipped for global and Indian markets only, with no word yet on a China launch. Pricing hasn’t surfaced either, but the Redmi 15C 5G launched in India at under $140, so the 17C is likely to launch at the same price.
We’ll share pricing and launch details as soon as they’re confirmed.
