Highlights & Review Of Redmi Note 17

Display Review:

The Redmi Note 17 5G (8GB+256GB) is expected to launch in Pakistan around PKR 90,000 to 110,000, though this remains an estimate since the phone hasn’t officially arrived there yet. It carries a 6.99-inch AMOLED panel with 1080 x 2396 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1,800 nits peak brightness, under Gorilla Glass 7i. Against the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (PKR 108,000), resolution is nearly identical (1080×2392), but brightness is not: the Note 15 Pro 4G’s 12 bit AMOLED hits 3,200 nits peak, almost double the Note 17 5G’s figure, meaning outdoor visibility favors the older, cheaper 4G model despite it lacking 5G.

The comparison shifts further against the Infinix pair. Both the Infinix Note 60 (PKR 103,000) and Infinix Note Edge (PKR 93,000) use a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen at 1208 x 2644 resolution, sharper than the Redmi’s, with 4,500 nits peak brightness, more than double the Note 17 5G’s rating, also under Gorilla Glass 7i. The Note 60 adds a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and gaming, while the Note Edge matches the Redmi’s 120Hz. In real terms, both Infinix rivals should look noticeably brighter under direct sunlight and sharper up close, while the Redmi Note 17 5G’s only edge is its larger 6.99-inch size.

Verdict: On raw display numbers, the Infinix Note 60 wins for sharpness, brightness, and smoothness at a lower expected price than the Redmi Note 17 5G, making it the stronger pick for screen quality alone, though buyers set on 5G and the Xiaomi ecosystem may still lean toward the Note 17 5G once it launches.

Processor Review:

The Redmi Note 17 5G runs on the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 (4nm), an octa-core setup pairing two 2.3GHz Cortex-A78 cores with six 1.95GHz Cortex-A55 cores. Sources differ on its AnTuTu score: Kimovil lists 570,353 (v11), while NanoReview-sourced data and MySmartPrice’s own lab test put it at 593,849 and 618,785 respectively; this hasn’t been independently confirmed, so no single figure should be treated as final. Against the Infinix Note 60 (Dimensity 7400 Ultimate, 4nm, four 2.6GHz Cortex-A78 cores plus four 2.0GHz Cortex-A55), the gap is stark: the Note 60 posts 849,804 (v11) on AnTuTu, roughly 40 to 50% higher than even the Redmi’s best-reported number, meaning noticeably snappier multitasking and stronger sustained gaming headroom on the Infinix.

The Infinix Note Edge (Dimensity 7100, 6nm) scores 637,742 (v10) on AnTuTu, still ahead of the Redmi Note 17 5G’s reported range, though this uses an older benchmark version than the Note 60’s v11 result, so that comparison isn’t perfectly apples-to-apples. The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (Helio G200 Ultra, 6nm) trails everyone at 455,000 (v10), the only rival the Redmi Note 17 5G’s chip is likely to match or edge out.

Overall, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 is an entry-tier chip carrying a mid-range price tag, prioritizing efficiency over raw power, while both Infinix rivals pack genuinely stronger silicon at a similar or lower expected cost.

Verdict: For gaming or heavy multitasking, the Infinix Note 60 delivers clearly better performance for less money than the Redmi Note 17 5G’s expected price, making it the stronger processor pick despite the Redmi’s 5G branding.

Ram & Memory Review:

The Redmi Note 17 5G in its 8GB+256GB configuration uses LPDDR4X RAM paired with UFS 2.2 storage, and it supports microSD expansion up to 2TB, a rare feature at this level since most rivals drop it entirely. Against the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G in its 12GB+512GB variant, the gap is significant: 12GB of LPDDR4X gives noticeably more multitasking headroom than the Redmi Note 17 5G’s 8GB, and 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage doubles the available space, meaning heavy users juggling many apps or storing large media libraries will feel the difference. The Note 15 Pro 4G also keeps microSDXC support via its shared SIM slot, so expandability is not lost either.

Against the Infinix pair, storage capacity is matched but RAM technology differs. Both the Infinix Note 60 and Infinix Note Edge, each in 8GB+256GB, use newer LPDDR5X RAM on UFS 2.2 storage, which should offer somewhat faster memory bandwidth than the Redmi’s LPDDR4X even at the same 8GB capacity. Neither Infinix phone supports microSD expansion, however, so buyers who rely on external storage lose that flexibility compared with the Redmi Note 17 5G.

In short, the Redmi Note 17 5G holds a real advantage in expandable storage, but it uses an older RAM standard than both Infinix rivals and offers less total capacity than the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G’s higher-end 12GB+512GB build.

Verdict: Buyers who want expandable storage should lean toward the Redmi Note 17 5G, but anyone chasing raw RAM speed or maximum capacity for the money will find the Infinix Note 60 or Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G, respectively, a better match.

Cameras Review:

The Redmi Note 17 5G‘s rear setup is a single 50MP f/1.8 main camera with a 1/2.76-inch sensor and 0.64µm pixels, but the sensor brand hasn’t been disclosed, and it lacks OIS. Sources differ on the front camera: Xiaomi’s own official product pages list a 16MP selfie camera, while multiple spec aggregators (91mobiles, PhoneArena, MySmartPrice) list it as 8MP f/2.2 with no autofocus; this hasn’t been independently confirmed. Video tops out at 1080p @30fps on both cameras, with no 4K support.

Against the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (PKR 108,000), the difference is night and day: its main camera is a 200MP f/1.7 Samsung ISOCELL sensor at 1/1.4-inch with OIS, backed by an 8MP ultrawide, and a 32MP front camera, meaning far more detail, better low-light stabilization, and sharper selfies than the Redmi Note 17 5G offers, though rear video still caps at 1080p on both phones.

The Infinix Note 60 (PKR 103,000) pairs a 50MP f/1.6 main camera with OIS (sensor brand undisclosed) and an 8MP ultrawide, plus a 13MP front camera, and crucially supports 4K @30fps video on both rear and front cameras, something the Redmi Note 17 5G cannot do. The Infinix Note Edge (PKR 93,000) uses a single 50MP f/1.8 GalaxyCore sensor without OIS and a 13MP front camera, capped at 1440p rear video, still ahead of the Redmi’s 1080p ceiling.

Verdict: On camera hardware alone, the Redmi Note 17 5G is the weakest of the four, missing OIS, 4K video, and a confirmed main sensor brand, making the Infinix Note 60 the stronger all-round camera choice at a lower expected price.

Battery Review:

The Redmi Note 17 5G‘s battery capacity is unconfirmed for certain: Xiaomi’s official India launch materials list an 8,000mAh silicon-carbon cell, while Xiaomi’s own global product pages (Malaysia, Singapore) list 7,700mAh for the same phone; this hasn’t been resolved, and the Pakistan-market figure isn’t yet known. Both figures support 45W wired turbo charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging, though the exact 0-100% charge time hasn’t been confirmed by any source.

Against the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (PKR 108,000), capacity favors the Redmi Note 17 5G either way, since the Note 15 Pro 4G carries a smaller 6,500mAh Si/C battery, also on 45W wired charging but with a slower 18W reverse wired rate. Its 0-100% charge time also isn’t confirmed in available data, so charging speed can’t be directly compared beyond the shared 45W rating.

The Infinix Note 60 (PKR 103,000) uses a 6,500mAh battery (some markets get 6,150mAh), reaching 50% in 26 minutes and 100% in 54 minutes on its 45W wired charger, and uniquely adds 30W wireless charging plus 10W reverse wired and 5W wireless reverse charging, features absent on the Redmi Note 17 5G entirely. The Infinix Note Edge (PKR 93,000) also runs a 6,500mAh (or 6,150mAh, market-dependent) battery, hitting 50% in 27 minutes on 45W wired charging with 10W reverse wired, but no wireless charging.

Verdict: If wireless charging and confirmed lab-tested charge speeds matter most, the Infinix Note 60 is the strongest pick here, while the Redmi Note 17 5G’s likely battery-capacity edge is undercut by the unresolved conflict over its true capacity in the Pakistan market.

Final Verdict :

At PKR 103,000, the Infinix Note 60 delivers the strongest price-to-spec ratio of the four. It’s the only phone here pairing OIS on its main camera with 4K video recording, a 144Hz AMOLED display, and 30W wireless charging, features that either cost more elsewhere or aren’t offered at all by the Redmi models, and its 849,804 AnTuTu (v11) score dwarfs every rival tested.

The Infinix Note Edge undercuts it at PKR 93,000 and remains a strong budget pick, offering nearly the same display and a still-capable Dimensity 7100 chipset, but it drops OIS and wireless charging to hit that lower price, so the gap to the Note 60 is a meaningful one, not just a badge difference.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (PKR 108,000, note this and the Note 60/Note Edge prices should be checked against official retail listings, as they can shift on marketplaces like Daraz) justifies its higher price mainly through its 200MP OIS camera and 3,200 nits peak brightness display, both best-in-group, but its Helio G200 Ultra trails the Infinix chipsets badly in raw performance, weakening its case as a value pick despite the strong optics.

The Redmi Note 17 5G is the weakest value proposition here. Its PKR 90,000 to 110,000 estimated Pakistan price is not yet official since the phone hasn’t launched locally, and for that money buyers get the least capable processor, no OIS, no 4K video, and an unresolved battery capacity discrepancy, making it hard to recommend on specs-per-rupee grounds until its real local price and confirmed specs are known.

Final Verdict:

Across display, processor, RAM, camera, and battery, the Infinix Note 60 (PKR 103,000) comes out ahead of the Redmi Note 17 5G (est. PKR 90,000 to 110,000), the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (PKR 108,000), and the Infinix Note Edge (PKR 93,000), combining the sharpest, brightest 144Hz AMOLED panel among the 8GB phones, by far the strongest AnTuTu performance of the group, a camera with OIS and 4K video the Redmi Note 17 5G can’t match, and the only wireless charging on this list, all at a lower price than the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G and a price close to or below the Redmi Note 17 5G’s uncertain Pakistan launch price.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G remains competitive purely on camera resolution and screen brightness, and the Infinix Note Edge is the strongest budget alternative if the Note 60’s price premium isn’t justified for a given buyer. The Redmi Note 17 5G, meanwhile, is held back by an unresolved battery-capacity conflict across Xiaomi’s own sources, no confirmed Pakistan pricing or launch date, the weakest chipset of the four, and a camera setup lacking OIS or 4K recording, making it the hardest of the four to recommend right now on pure specs.

Bottom line: the Infinix Note 60 is the best all-round phone in this comparison, and buyers should treat the Redmi Note 17 5G as a wait-and-see option until it officially launches in Pakistan with confirmed local pricing and specs.

Ranking:

  1. Infinix Note 60 – PKR 103,000
  2. Infinix Note Edge – PKR 93,000
  3. Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G – PKR 108,000
  4. Redmi Note 17 5G – PKR 90,000–110,000 (estimated, not yet launched in Pakistan)
