Redmi is gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 17 series in China this month. However, global markets may receive the Redmi 17 series soon. The reason behind this is that the Redmi 17 5G has received approval from the SIRIM and NCC certification platforms, revealing several key details about its specifications.
Redmi 17 5G SIRIM, NCC certified
As seen above, the Redmi 17 5G, bearing the model number 26062RN92G, has appeared in the databases of Malaysia’s SIRIM certification platform. The same device has also emerged in Taiwan’s NCC certification site.
While the SIRIM listing does not reveal anything significant beyond confirming the model number and marketing name, the NCC certification has disclosed several key specifications. It also confirms that Redmi has skipped the Redmi 16 branding, jumping directly from last year’s Redmi 15 series to the Redmi 17 lineup.
The Redmi 17 5G’s NCC certification reveals that it may be available in four configurations: 4GB+64GB, 4GB+128GB, 4GB+256GB, and 8GB+256GB. The listing also confirms the battery and charger model numbers as BM7H and MDY-17-EN, respectively.
Cross-checking with the TÜV certification reveals that the Redmi 17 5G may pack a massive 7,500mAh battery. As for charging, the bundled power adapter is expected to support up to 45W fast charging. This is a notable upgrade over the Redmi 15 5G, which featured a 7,000mAh battery with 33W charging.
On the connectivity front, the Redmi 17 5G is expected to support 5G, 4G LTE, VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth, NFC, and USB Type-C. The NCC certification also confirms an IP64-rated dust and water-resistant design.
Xpert Pick
The above specifications suggest that the Redmi 17 5G could be a promising mid-range smartphone. However, it is surprising to see a 4GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, while there is no sign of a 6GB RAM model. To recall, the Redmi 15 5G was also offered in same configuration globally.
In 2026, 4GB RAM is becoming increasingly restrictive, especially for multitasking, gaming, and running AI-powered features, as Android and modern apps consume more memory than before. That said, Redmi appears to be focusing on endurance, with the significantly larger 7,500mAh battery and upgraded 45W charging. In comparison, the previous generation packed a 7,000mAh battery with 33W charging.
