Xiaomi devices, the Redmi 17 5G, were recently approved by regulatory authorities SIRIM in Malaysia and NCC in Taiwan. The documents obtained through these certifications bring to light several specifications of the brand’s latest mid-range smartphone, including memory options, a high capacity battery, fast charging system and IP64 protection.
A notable change in the Chinese manufacturer’s strategy was revealed by the documentation: Xiaomi appears to have decided to skip the Redmi 16 numbering, opting to launch the Redmi 17 series directly in global markets. This choice, although unusual, aims to align the product portfolio and avoid regional confusion.
The smartphone was identified in certifications by model number 26062RN92G. While the SIRIM registration only confirmed the device’s commercial name, the NCC certification provided deeper details regarding its internal hardware.
Among the information disclosed, the storage configurations that will be available to consumers stand out:
- 4GB + 64GB
- 4GB + 128GB
- 4GB + 256GB
- 8GB + 256GB
Despite the inclusion of a version with 8 GB of RAM, the absence of an intermediate option with 6 GB draws attention, repeating a pattern already observed in the previous generation of the device.
Battery capacity surprises and promises long life
One of the most anticipated and impressive aspects of the Redmi 17 5G is its robust battery. When crossing the NCC certification information with TÜV records, strong indications indicate that the device will be equipped with a 7,500 mAh battery. This capacity is significantly higher than the current market average, promising extended autonomy for users.
If this specification is officially confirmed, the new model will represent a considerable advance over the Redmi 15 5G, which had a 7,000 mAh battery.
Another obvious improvement is the fast charging technology. The charger, identified by model MDY-17-EN, will support 45W, which means a significant upgrade compared to the 33W present in the predecessor model.
Enhanced connectivity features and greater endurance
The certifications also indicate that the Redmi 17 5G will hit the market with a full range of connectivity options, meeting the demands of modern users.
Expected features include:
- Full support for 5G networks
- 4G LTE and VoLTE support
- Dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity (2.4GHz and 5GHz)
- Bluetooth technology
- NFC feature
- USB-C port
An additional confirmed fact is the presence of IP64 certification, which gives the device resistance against dust and splashes of water. This feature increases the durability of the device, offering greater peace of mind in daily use.
The Redmi 17 5G promises to differentiate itself in the mid-range smartphone segment, mainly due to the combination of a long-lasting battery, 45W fast charging and IP64 protection. These attributes can make it a highly attractive option for consumers who prioritize autonomy and robustness.
Now, the focus turns to Xiaomi’s official announcement, which should detail the processor, screen, camera systems and, of course, the prices of the new intermediary. This model has the potential to consolidate itself as one of the most interesting launches in the category, while the Redmi Note 17 is scheduled for this month, bringing improvements in battery, screen and performance.
