Redmi appears to be preparing for another smartphone launch in the coming days. The brand has just unveiled Redmi 17 5G and Redmi 17 4G globally, while also introducing Redmi Note 17 5G in India. This time, we may get Redmi 17C 5G.

The model has been spotted in an early listing on the website of a retailer based in Luxembourg. The listing not only reveals its official renders but has also listed the complete specifications. Here’s everything we know about Redmi 17C 5G, much ahead of any official announcement.

Redmi 17C 5G Design Revealed

From the renders in the listing, it appears the upcoming Redmi 17C 5G will feature some design changes and different colour options compared to its predecessor, the Redmi 15C. There is a slight change in the camera island compared to the 15C.

As per the listing, the upcoming Redmi 17C 5G is expected to be offered in Brown, Purple and Black colour options.

Redmi 17C 5G – Full Specifications Confirmed

According to the retailer listing, the Redmi 17C 5G will feature a 6.9-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone measures 171.56 x 79.47 x 8.05mm and weighs approximately 211 grams.

The phone is listed with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The storage can be expanded using a microSD card of up to 1TB.

On the software front, it will run Xiaomi HyperOS 3.

For photography, the Redmi 17C 5G is listed with a dual-camera setup on the rear. The main camera uses a 50-megapixel sensor with autofocus and an f/1.8 aperture. On the front, the phone is expected to feature an 8-megapixel selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture.

The connectivity options listed for the phone include 5G, dual SIM support, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, USB Type-C and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

If these listed specs are correct, Redmi 17C 5G looks quite similar to last year’s Redmi 15C when it comes to key features. Apart from slight design changes, one of the only major differences is that the upcoming Redmi 17C 5G will also run a newer version of HyperOS.

While the retailer listing reveals most of the details, it does not reveal the smartphone’s possible price in the region. We can expect more details including any information about the pricing or official launch date to surface in the coming days.

• Two upcoming Nothing devices have surfaced in the IMEI database, hinting at early 2027 debuts as part of this expanded lineup.
• Nothing plans to nearly double its smartphone launches in 2027 with at least six new models expected.
• The company is also strengthening its presence in India with more exclusive stores, local manufacturing of audio products and additional launches scheduled for Q3 2026.

Nothing appears to be preparing for a much bigger smartphone lineup next year. The company has already confirmed plans to nearly double the number of smartphones it launches in 2027 and two unannounced Nothing phones have now appeared in an IMEI database, suggesting that preparations may already be underway. Here’s more on what we know so far.

Nothing Devices on IMEI Database

The listings were first spotted by PassionateGeekz and reveal two model numbers, A006 and A010. There is currently no information about the names of these upcoming smartphones or their specifications. However, the report suggests that both models could make their debut in early 2027.

Nothing launched three smartphones in 2026 including the Nothing Phone 4a, Nothing Phone 4a Pro and Nothing Phone 4b. If the company follows through with its plan to launch twice as many phones next year, its 2027 lineup could include at least six new smartphones. These devices are expected to cover different price segments, giving customers more options across the company’s portfolio.

The appearance of the A006 and A010 model numbers in the IMEI database also fits with this expected 2027 expansion.

Nothing Plans to Double its Smartphone Lineup

Nothing has been expanding its business rapidly since it initially founded with a pair of earbuds. In just a few years, the London-based company has expanded into smartphones, audio products and smartwatches, while also building its own retail presence.

Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis, during an exclusive interview with Times Now Tech, confirmed that the company plans to nearly double its smartphone launches next year as it continues expanding in India and other international markets.

“It’s still too early to discuss individual products, but I can say we’ve launched three smartphones (Nothing Phone 4a, Phone 4a Pro and Phone 4b) this year, and we’re looking to launch twice that number next year. We’ll share more details closer to launch, but the idea is to have a wider range of smartphones,” he said.

The company’s growing focus on India is also a major reason behind the expansion. Nothing has emerged as one of the fastest-growing smartphone brands in the country, competing with larger and more established smartphone makers.

More Nothing Exclusive Stores Coming to India

Nothing is not only expanding its smartphone portfolio but is also increasing its retail presence in India. Earlier this year, the company opened its first exclusive store in the country in Bengaluru.

The company is now preparing to open two more exclusive stores in India by the first quarter of 2027. It has not finalised the locations yet but it is reportedly considering Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad. The company expects to finalise the locations by the end of September.

Nothing is also looking beyond smartphones as it works to grow its overall product portfolio. Akis Evangelidis said the company is focusing on multiple product categories with audio expected to become an increasingly important part of its business.

“Our audio business has been growing very strongly this year,” Akis said, adding that Nothing has created dedicated business units for audio and AI-native products.

For the Indian market, Nothing is also working on local manufacturing before introducing more premium audio products in the country. “We’re still working on the plans for bringing those products to India. Local manufacturing is an important part of that strategy,” he said.

Nothing has already started manufacturing products including the CMF Watch 3 Pro and CMF Headphone Pro, locally. The company plans to expand local manufacturing to more audio products over the medium term.

More Nothing Products Coming This Year

Despite its focus on 2027, Nothing’s launch calendar for this year is not over yet. Akis also confirmed that the company has more products planned for the third quarter.

“We still have launches planned for Q3 this year. The launch season isn’t over yet and you’ll see more products coming soon. Some rumours are already circulating, but we’ll reveal more at the appropriate time,” Nothing co-founder added.

Highlights:

• Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi Note 17 5G, the latest addition to its bestselling Redmi Note series.
• The Redmi Note 17 5G comes with a starting price of Rs. 27,999 and brings a large AMOLED display and high capacity battery to the table.
• While the Redmi Note 17 5G is impressive, there are other devices in its price segment that can give it a run for its money. Here are four of its biggest competitors

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note series started out as a budget smartphone series which came with very impressive specs at a surprisingly affordable price, an equation that made it one of the most popular phone series in the Indian market.

The latest addition to this Note-worthy series is the Redmi Note 17 5G.  It comes with a starting price of Rs. 27,999. you can read our first impressions here:Redmi Note 17 5G First Impressions: Seven Things to Note About the Latest Note, and at a time when most brands are cutting corners because of increasing component prices, it packs in a brilliant AMOLED display and large battery into a well-designed and attractive form factor.

In spite of this, it still faces considerable competition in a packed mid-segment.

So, if you are thinking of getting the Redmi Note 17 5G as your next smartphone, take a look at these four very competent alternatives before making up your mind:

 Motorola Edge 70 Fusion: Hello, powerful power packed Moto!

Rs. 30,999 onwards

If you are in the market for a phone that is both powerful and stylish, you might feel tempted to steer away from the Redmi Note 17 5G, and towards the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion.

The phone not only comes with typically simple yet elegant Moto looks but also runs on a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor.

It also has an upper hand over the Note 17 in the camera megapixel department – both phones have a 50 megapixel main sensor but the Edge 70 Fusion comes with a 13 megapixel ultrawide sensor on the back, and a 32 megapixel sensor on the front..

Yes, the Note 17 has a bigger display and much bigger battery but the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion still is a very strong threat, especially for those who want a better processor.

OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite: A OnePlus answer to the Note

Rs. 24,999 onwards

OnePlus’s Nord series has been providing the Redmi Note tough competition for a few years, so it is hardly surprising that the Redmi Note 17 5G has a OnePlus competitor.

The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite comes with a 6.72 inch display, which is LCD but has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate.

What makes it special is a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex 4 processor, and a very good 50 megapixel primary camera.

Keeping it running is a 7000 mAh battery with support for 45W charging.

Of course, it comes with the popular OxygenOS interface., which many prefer to the HyperOS found on the Redmi Note 17 5G.

Nothing Phone (4b): The most note-able threat

Rs. 29,999 onwards

Nothing’s latest phone, the Nothing Phone (4b) is easily the most ‘notable’ phone in the Redmi Note 17 5G’s price segment in terms of appearance.

Its industrial design sets it apart and while it does not have an elaborate LED light indicator system (Glyph UI) on the back, it still has a very visible Glyph Bar which attracts attention.

The phone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, has a beautiful AMOLED display, and a 50 megapixel main camera as well as a 16 megapixel front facing camera.

It comes with a relatively clean interface, which is something very rare in this price segment, where bloatware is all too common.

Its 5200 mAh battery is smaller than the massive 8000 mAh one on the Note 17, but this still remains the phone that stands out in the crowd in its segment, thanks to its very solid spec and look combo, which many might feel comfortable paying a little extra for.

iQoo Z11x: The segment’s gaming boss

Rs. 22,999 onwards

A competitor which packs a powerful processor punch as compared to the Redmi Note 17 5G is the iQoo Z11x. The phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo, a chipset which will not only see you through everyday smartphone tasks but can also handle some high-end games, with a few tweaks.

The phone also comes with a good 50 megapixel main sensor on the back and a 32 megapixel sensor on the front, and a large 7200 mAh battery.

Where it loses out to the Note 17 5G is in having a LCD display, but it still remains a very good option for those prizing power and chasing gaming on a budget (it comes with a lower price tag!).

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE – Horizontal Lock Camera Feature

The latest leaked firmware suggests that the Galaxy S26 FE could receive one of Samsung’s newest video recording features called Horizontal Lock.

A firmware discovered by SammyGuru includes a flag named

SUPPORT_SUPER_STEADY_HORIZONTAL_LOCK, which is set to “true.” This indicates that Samsung is actively testing the feature for the Galaxy S26 FE. Horizontal Lock first debuted on the Galaxy S26 series and was later introduced on the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 8.

The feature works together with Samsung’s existing Super Steady video stabilisation. It keeps video footage level even when the phone is tilted or rotated by using the device’s gyroscope and accelerometer to make real-time corrections. This helps users capture smoother and more stable videos without requiring a separate gimbal, making it useful for walking videos, action shots, and casual vlogging.

Since Horizontal Lock is a software-based feature rather than a hardware upgrade, Samsung appears to be expanding it across more Galaxy smartphones. Reports also suggest that older Galaxy S25 models could receive the feature later through the One UI 9 update, indicating Samsung’s plan to make it a standard camera tool across its lineup.

The same firmware also revealed an update banner prepared for One UI 9.5. While this does not confirm that the Galaxy S26 FE will launch with that software version, it shows Samsung has already started preparing assets for the future interface.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE – FCC Certification and New Colours Revealed

The Galaxy S26 FE has also appeared in new high-resolution leaked renders showing three colour options including Black, Green, and Purple.

The design closely follows the standard Galaxy S26 as it features a single rear camera island that houses all three camera sensors, while the LED flash is placed beside the module. On the front, the smartphone sports a flat display with slim bezels, a centred punch-hole selfie camera, and a slightly thicker bottom bezel.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE clears FCC certification.

The handset has now cleared FCC certification in the US, which is generally one of the final regulatory approvals before a smartphone goes on sale.

Although the FCC documents do not reveal the main processor, they confirm that Samsung is using a Qualcomm Wi-Fi chip, marking a change from the all-Exynos setup used on the Galaxy S25 FE. Earlier Geekbench listings suggest that the smartphone itself will still be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset.

The certification also confirms support for 45W wired fast charging, wireless charging, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and satellite connectivity. Reports further suggest that the Galaxy S26 FE could retain the 4,900mAh battery from its predecessor while featuring a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

With leaked renders, firmware discoveries, and FCC certification now in place, the Galaxy S26 FE appears to be in the final stages of testing. In Europe, the 128GB variant is tipped to carry a starting price of €799, which is around €50 higher than the previous-generation Galaxy S25 FE.

Highlights

• Vivo has recently launched the Vivo S2 in the Indian market.
• The Vivo S2 starts at Rs 39,999, and comes with a curved display and a sleek design.
• Although the Vivo S2 represents quite a compelling option for those looking for a good phone, it faces a number of challengers in its price segment. We shortlist four of the best.

Vivo recently launched the Vivo S2 in India, bringing back its design-forward S series.

The phone, which has a very eye-catching design and mid-segment specs you can read our first impressions at vivo-s2-first-impressions-seven-things-to-note-about-vivos-stylish-new-phone, comes with a starting price of Rs. 39,999.

While it is an extremely attractive proposition, with its very Pixel-esque design, curvy sides and curved display, and decent mod-segment processor, it still faces a lot of competition in the crowded mid-segment of the Indian smartphone market.

If you are considering the Vivo S2 as your next device, we would advise you to check out these four phones before making up your mind:

Redmi Turbo 5: For those seeking more power

Rs 37,999 onwards

One of the biggest headaches for the Vivo S2 is the recently launched Redmi Turbo 5.

In best Redmi tradition, the phone not only comes with a highly competitive spec sheet but actually comes with a lower price tag – it comes with a starting price of Rs. 37,999.

For this price, you get a much more powerful Dimensity 8500 processor, with faster LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, as well as a bigger 7540 mAh battery with faster 100 W charging support.

While it is not as sleek as the Vivo S2, the lights around its camera unit will attract attention.

Mind you, the Vivo S2 has a bigger display and more megapixels on the front, but the spec-scale leans more towards the Redmi Turbo 5.

Motorola Edge 70 Pro: The camera captain

Rs 39,999 onwards

It is kind of rare to see a Motorola phone that outguns a similarly priced Vivo one in terms of cameras.

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro, however, seems to do just that. The phone officially costs as much as the Vivo S2 (although it is available at lower prices at some outlets), and is not only powered the more powerful Mediatek Dimensity 8500 Extreme processor, but also brings three 50 megapixel sensors on the back and another 50 megapixel one on the front to the camera battle.

The battery on the device is slightly smaller than the one of the Vivo S2 and it is rather plain looking, but comes with 90W fast charging support and also has IP68/ IP69 dust and water resistance.

Not a style icon like the Vivo S2, but megapixel lovers will love this.

OnePlus Nord CE6: Those who Never Settle and prefer Oxygen(OS)

Rs 34,999 onwards

Another phone that could be a potential headache for the Vivo S2 is the OnePlus Nord CE6.

Even though it has received a few price bumps recently, the Nord CE6 still comes with a much lower starting price of Rs. 34,999 which in itself is a big plus.

It also comes with a very elegant design, and runs on the very good Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Generation 4 processor.

It too has a 50 megapixel sensor on the back, a 32 megapixel one on the front, and comes with a tall display, which is almost as big as the Vivo S2 and has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, although it is a flat one.

Also onboard is a much bigger 8000 mAh battery and faster 80W charging too.

And running on top of everything is OxygenOS, which has a fanbase of its own.

Nothing Phone 4(a): Nothing like anything

Rs 42,999 onwards

If you are in the market for a phone which turns heads, there is perhaps only one device in the Rs 40,000 segment that will not only turn heads more than the Vivo S2 but also keep eyes glued to it – the Nothing Phone 4(a).

It comes with the transparent-ish back with LED lights (called Glyph interface) that Nothing is famous for, as well as a very clean, uncluttered UI with retro feels.

Add to that a very good triple camera set up on the back (with two 50 megapixel cameras, including a periscope telephoto, which is rare), and a 32 megapixel selfie camera, and the Nothing Phone (4a) is perhaps the only phone out there that can not only match the head turning ability of the Vivo S2 but also outgun it in specs (it runs on the very good Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip).

That said, it has a much smaller battery and no charger in the box, and also has a slightly higher price tag!
