Tuesday, 28 July 2026 at 04:10

Nowadays, 5G tech is available in most smartphones, even those in the budget segment. However, one way to bring cheap devices is by offering an affordable chipset. Xiaomi knows where the money is and aims to bring a new 4G phone to its legendary Redmi series. The brand will soon launch a new budget smartphone with a major focus on battery life - The Redmi 17 4G.

The upcoming Redmi 17 4G has reportedly received certification from Malaysia's SIRIM agency, suggesting that the device is moving closer to an official release. The phone was listed with the model number 2606FRN72Y. While the certification does not reveal every detail, early information points to a large battery and a MediaTek processor designed for everyday use.

Redmi 17 4G May Feature a Huge 7,500mAh Battery

The most interesting detail is the phone's reported 7,500mAh battery. This is much larger than the 5,000mAh batteries found in many modern smartphones. If the information is accurate, the Redmi 17 4G could offer long battery life for users who mainly browse the web, watch videos, use social media, or make calls.

Battery life will still depend on the display, software, and overall power use. However, the large capacity could allow the phone to last well beyond a full day on a single charge.

MediaTek Helio G91-Ultra Expected

The Redmi 17 4G is also expected to use the MediaTek Helio G91-Ultra chipset. The processor should provide reliable performance for common tasks, including messaging, web browsing, video streaming, social media, and basic mobile games. It is expected to target the affordable smartphone market rather than compete with high-end devices. As the name suggests, the Redmi 17 4G is expected to support 4G mobile networks rather than 5G.
