Under the hood, the device runs on the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 system-on-chip. Photography duties are handled by a 50-megapixel primary rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), backed by an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera.
Powering the hardware is an enormous 9,000 mAh battery. It supports 67W fast wired charging alongside 22.5W reverse wired charging, with a 67W charger included right inside the retail box.

Step Up to the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max
For buyers seeking enhanced performance and imaging, the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max takes several specifications further. It retains the identical 6.83-inch AMOLED display and build durability found on the standard Pro model.
