Xiaomi's Redmi has decided to bypass the Note 16 series, jumping straight to the upcoming Note 17 series, set to launch later this month. Rumored to feature four models—Redmi Note 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and 17R—leaked specifications have surfaced for two or three of them, creating some ambiguity.
The standard Redmi Note 17 is expected to come with a flat 6.83-inch 1.5K display and a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset or the 6s Gen 4, as reports vary. It will be powered by a substantial 9,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, and it will sport a 50MP camera.

Interestingly, some reports now attribute the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset to the Redmi Note 17 Pro, whereas prior information linked it to a Dimensity 7500 processor. This updated report also mentions a 9,000mAh battery and a 50MP camera for the Pro model.
On the other hand, the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max is expected to feature the Dimensity 7500 chipset, a remarkable 200MP camera, and an impressive 10,100mAh battery. It will also include a flat 1.5K OLED display, yet it remains unclear if this will be the same 6.83-inch panel found in the other two models.
All models will launch with HyperOS 3.1 (based on Android 16) and will come equipped with stereo speakers. Specifications for the Redmi Note 17R have not yet been disclosed.

While the two Pro models offered larger 6.83-inch 1280p+ OLED displays along with 200MP cameras, the vanilla model included a 6.77-inch 1080p+ OLED display and a 108MP camera. Battery capacities varied significantly as well, with figures of 5,520mAh, 6,580mAh, and 6,500mAh, far below the projected values for their successors.
