Xiaomi has launched the REDMI 17C 5G for international buyers. The entry level phone pairs a large 6.9 inch 120Hz display with a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip and a 6000mAh battery. The device is now available in Singapore starting at 279 SGD.
The front of the phone features a 6.9 inch LCD screen with a water drop notch for the selfie camera. While the resolution sits at 720p, the panel compensates with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and reaches up to 800 nits of peak brightness for better outdoor visibility. Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor delivers 5G connectivity for budget conscious shoppers. Memory configurations include 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM combined with either 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. Users needing extra room for media can expand the storage capacity via a dedicated microSD card slot.
Battery life is clearly the primary selling point here. Xiaomi packed in a massive 6000mAh power pack that should easily last 2 full days on standard workloads. When you run low on power, the phone supports 33W wired fast charging to speed up recharge times.
For photography, the back panel carries a single 50MP main sensor. Selfies and video calls are handled by an 8MP front facing camera nestled inside the screen notch. Physical audio support remains intact, with Xiaomi keeping the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio fans.
The device carries an IP64 rating for protection against dust and light water splashes. Buyers can pick between 3 color options, including black, purple, and brown. On the software front, the phone ships with Xiaomi HyperOS 3 running on top of Android 16 out of the box. Retail pricing is set at 279 SGD in overseas retail channels.
