Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 17 series in mid-July with two models – the Redmi Note 17 and the Redmi Note 17 Pro – for the Chinese market. The standard model was later introduced in India. However, the company is already working on global versions with slightly different hardware, including the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max.
The specifications for the global models were leaked last month. In summary, they will have slightly smaller batteries than the models for China and India, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera (the ultrawide camera was completely absent from the models for China and India), and their selfie cameras will be upgraded to 16-megapixel sensors (previously 8 megapixels).
A third model, the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, is also in the works. It resembles the global Redmi Note 17 Pro and features a 6.83-inch display (1280 x 2772 pixels, 120 Hz, 3500 nits, GG Victus 2). However, the in-display selfie camera boasts a higher-resolution 32 MP sensor. The rear cameras are expected to remain unchanged: a 50 MP main camera and an 8 MP ultrawide camera. However, we don’t yet have any information on the sensor size, so surprises are possible.
The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max certainly lives up to its name with a larger 9,210 mAh battery and 100-watt fast charging. That’s more than the expected 8,340 mAh of the global Note 17 Pro and even more than the 9,000 mAh of the Chinese Pro. Since both of those models only charge at 67 watts, the Max model has the advantage here as well. The standard Note 17, by the way, has a huge 7-inch display, but a smaller battery with 8,000 mAh (China/India) or 7,700 mAh (worldwide).
The Max is expected to measure 163.4 x 78.3 x 8.6 mm and weigh 230 g, making it slightly thicker and heavier than the Chinese Note 17 Pro (8.5 mm, 226 g).
Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Geekbench test
The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset – this is evident from a Geekbench result for the Xiaomi 2609FRA74G, which is presumably the global Pro Max version. It achieved a total of 924 single-core and 2,923 multi-core points.
The tested device had 8 GB of RAM, but a 12 GB model is expected. The chipset is paired with 128/256/512 GB of storage (UFS 2.1 for the 128 GB variant, UFS 4.0 for the other variants). The Redmi phone ran Android 16.
| Model | memory | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Redmi Note 17 4G | 4/128 GB | €250 |
| 6/256 GB | €300 | |
| Redmi Note 17 | 6/256 GB | 400 € |
| Redmi Note 17 Pro | 6/256 GB | 500 € |
| Redmi Note 17 Pro Max | 8/256 GB | 600 € |
We’ve also seen leaked prices for the global Redmi Note 17 series. The table above isn’t complete yet – as mentioned, we expect a 12GB version of the Pro Max. There should also be further configurations for the other models.
