Geekbench listing reveals shared codename and budget specs

Xiaomi is preparing to release the Redmi 17C 5G, which operates under the internal codename 'tornado'. A recent Geekbench listing confirms that this device shares its identifier with the Redmi 15C 5G and the POCO C85 5G. This shared codename suggests that the Redmi 17C 5G is essentially a rebadged version of the previous 15C model rather than a completely new design.

Redmi 17C 5G Expected Specifications

  • Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 6300
  • Display: 6.9-inch LCD, 720p
  • Rear Camera: 50MP
  • Front Camera: 8MP
  • Battery: 6,000mAh

The hardware specifications center on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, which handles the device's processing tasks. Users will view content on a 6.9-inch LCD screen with a 720p resolution. Photography duties are split between a 50MP main rear sensor and an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies. The device also includes a substantial 6,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging.

Software-wise, the phone is expected to launch with Android 16 running on top of Xiaomi’s HyperOS. This ensures the device ships with modern operating system features right out of the box. The combination of a large battery and an efficient chipset aims to provide all-day usage for typical tasks like messaging and web browsing.

Pricing in India is expected to remain under $140, mirroring the launch price of the Redmi 15C 5G. Reports indicate the device is tipped for availability in both the Indian and global markets. We looked at the Redmi 15C 5G earlier while tracking Xiaomi's budget lineup updates.
