Both models feature a 6.9-inch screen with a resolution of 1600 by 720 pixels. The refresh rate can automatically switch between 60, 90 and 120Hz.

Two models, with the main difference being the chipset
The Redmi 17 runs on the MediaTek Helio G91-Ultra, whilst the Redmi 17 5G features a Snapdragon 4 Gen 5. The latter, of course, adds support for 5G. Both smartphones run on Xiaomi HyperOS 3 and support memory expansion.
