After unveiling the Redmi 17C 4G in China earlier this year, Xiaomi is reportedly preparing to introduce another smartphone in its Redmi number series. The upcoming Redmi 17 4G is expected to succeed the Redmi 15 4G and has now surfaced in a fresh leak that reveals its design, colour options, expected specifications and pricing. In addition to the leaked renders, the smartphone has also been spotted on the Malaysian SIRIM certification database indicating that its official launch could be getting closer. Here’s what we know so far.
Redmi 17 4G Leaked Renders and Expected Price
A recent YTECHB report reveals the Redmi 17 4G could carry a starting price of EUR 250 (around Rs. 28,000) for the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Meanwhile, the 6GB RAM + 256GB storage model is tipped to be priced at EUR 280 (around Rs. 31,000).
The leaked renders suggest the smartphone will be available in Deep Blue, Black, Oak Green and Lotus Purple colour options.
The images also showcase a redesigned rear camera module. Compared to the Redmi 15 4G, the camera island appears wider and now includes a light ring in place of one of the circular cutouts. However, this is not expected to reduce the camera capabilities, as the predecessor also featured only a dual rear camera setup consisting of a primary sensor and an auxiliary lens.
The handset is said to measure 170.12 × 78.42 × 8.8mm and weigh around 232 grams.
Redmi 17 4G Appears on Malaysian SIRIM Certification
The Redmi 17 4G has also been listed on the Malaysian SIRIM certification platform with the model number 2606FRN72Y. The listing carries the type approval code RGQL/19L/0726/S(26-3167) and classifies the device under the “Mobile” product category.
The certification approval was granted on July 10, 2026. While the listing does not reveal any hardware specifications, it indicates that the smartphone could soon make its debut in the Malaysian market.
Notably, the same 2606FRN72Y model number had previously been spotted on Indonesia’s SDPPI and TKDN certification databases hinting at a wider regional rollout.
Redmi 17 4G Features and Specifications (Expected)
As per the report, the Redmi 17 4G is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Helio G91 Ultra processor paired with up to 6GB RAM and up to 256GB of onboard storage. The smartphone is also tipped to boot HyperOS 3.0 based on Android 16.
It is expected to feature a 6.9-inch flat display with a 720 × 1600-pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
For comparison, the Redmi 15 4G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 chipset. The report notes that the Helio G91 and Helio G91 Ultra are essentially the same processor, with only minor improvements such as enhanced ISP support for higher-resolution cameras.
The handset is expected to be offered in 4GB or 6GB RAM configurations along with 128GB or 256GB storage options.
For photography, the Redmi 17 4G is tipped to feature a 50MP primary rear camera accompanied by an auxiliary sensor, while the front is expected to house an 8MP selfie camera for selfies and video calls.
One of the biggest expected upgrades is the battery. The Redmi 17 4G is rumoured to pack a 7,500mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. This would be an improvement over the 7,000mAh battery and 33W fast charging offered by the Redmi 15 4G, potentially delivering longer battery life for users who prefer fewer charging sessions.
The leaked renders also point to a redesigned camera island featuring RGB lighting surrounding the camera module.
As of now, Xiaomi has not officially announced the Redmi 17 4G or revealed its launch timeline.
