Earlier this month, Redmi unveiled the Redmi 17 4G and Redmi 17 5G for the global market. Now, the Redmi 17C 5G has officially appeared in Singapore, adding another affordable option to the lineup. The new model focuses on a large display, long battery life, and 5G connectivity. Here is everything the latest Redmi phone brings to the table.

Redmi 17C 5G specifications and features

The Redmi 17C 5G features a 6.9-inch LCD with a 1600×720-pixel resolution and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel reaches 660 nits of typical brightness and 810 nits in HBM mode, while DC dimming and TÜV Rheinland certifications are included for reduced eye strain. A 6,000mAh battery supports 33W charging, although only a 15W adapter is included in the box.

At the back, the phone has a 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and an auxiliary lens. It supports features such as HDR, Night mode, Portrait mode, and 1080p video recording at 30fps. An 8-megapixel front camera handles selfies and video calls, with HDR, Portrait, Night mode, and a soft-light ring.

The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage. Memory expansion can provide up to 8GB of RAM, while a microSD card supports storage expansion up to 1TB.

Other features include dual SIM support, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and Xiaomi HyperOS 3. The phone measures 171.56×79.47×8.05mm and weighs 211 grams. It also carries an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance.

Redmi 17C 5G price and availability

The Redmi 17C 5G is priced at S$279 (~$220) in Singapore, which is around Rs 19,000. It comes in Black, Brown with a vegan leather finish, and Purple color options. Xiaomi has not yet confirmed pricing or availability for other markets.

The post Redmi 17C 5G launches with a 6.9-inch 120Hz screen, a 6,000mAh battery and 50MP camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.
