Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G Review: The Battery King?
We reviewed the standard Redmi Note 17 5G a few weeks ago and found it to be a phone defined by its massive battery, undercut by a few notable compromises elsewhere. Xiaomi sent over the Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G next, priced at Rs. 36,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, and Rs. 39,999 for the 256GB option.

The Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G is a standout offering in its segment, primarily due to its massive 9,000mAh battery that Xiaomi claims can last through multiple days of heavy usage. Priced at Rs. 36,999 for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, and Rs. 39,999 for the 256GB variant, the Pro model boasts a larger 6.83-inch Super Sunlight AMOLED display with a higher resolution of 1.5K (2772 x 1280) and a smoother 120Hz refresh rate.
This display not only offers brighter outdoor visibility but also delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it visually appealing for extended use. Powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, the phone delivers smooth performance across daily tasks, browsing, streaming, and multitasking without noticeable lag. Despite its larger battery, the phone remains manageable in hand due to its 226g weight and 8.6mm thickness.
The build quality feels robust, with a dust and water-resistant design that Xiaomi claims protects it against every drop, splash, or bump. The phone also features a convenient in-display fingerprint sensor and supports in-display wet touch, which maintains accuracy even with wet fingers—a useful feature during humid conditions. While the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset is capable, it may struggle with more demanding gaming tasks.
The phone supports fast charging via a 67W adapter, bringing the battery to full charge in over an hour and a half, which is reasonable given the battery size. Additionally, the inclusion of reverse charging allows the phone to top up other devices, adding practical value to its impressive battery life.
