Buy it if Buy it if you value massive battery life and a big screen over top speed.
Skip it if Skip it if you need smooth gaming or a high‑quality camera.
Why we say that
The 7‑inch OLED screen is bright and smooth at 120 Hz, and the 8000 mAh battery truly feels like a beast, lasting well beyond a typical workday. However, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset and UFS 2.2 storage make everyday tasks feel slower than the older Note 15, and app scrolling often stutters despite the high refresh rate. The camera setup lacks an ultrawide lens and the 8 MP selfie sensor is dated, so low‑light shots are disappointing.
Software runs HyperOS 3 with a lot of pre‑installed ads and only a few major Android updates. The phone also drops the 3.5 mm jack, offers only a mono speaker, and many gray‑import units run a China ROM without Google services. Overall it is a big, battery‑centric device that sacrifices speed and camera quality.

What reviewers said on YouTube

The Redmi Note 17 5G is a victim of 2026's component pricing, prioritizing a massive screen and extraordinary battery life over performance and camera quality. While it excels for media consumption and endurance, significant downgrades to the processor, speakers, and camera features make it a poor value compared to previous generations.
Best for Heavy media consumers who prioritize a huge screen and multi-day battery life above all else.
Trakin Tech highlights the Redmi Note 17 5G's massive 6.9-inch 120Hz display and extraordinary 8,000 mAh battery as its primary selling points, suggesting it can easily last two to three days. While noting the lack of stereo speakers and the fact that the phone is quite heavy, they feel the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 handles everyday tasks and casual gaming adequately. They praise the inclusion of a 45W charger, four years of software updates, and an IP65 rating, concluding it's a solid choice for those prioritizing screen size and endurance.
ATC provides a highly critical review, arguing the Redmi Note 17 represents a severe downfall for the once-beloved Note series, largely blaming the rising costs of RAM and storage. They sharply criticize the phone for stepping backward in almost every category except battery size, pointing out the downgrade to a Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 processor, the removal of the ultrawide camera, the inexplicable limitation of 1080p 30FPS video, and the lack of stereo speakers. Ultimately, they strongly advise against buying it at its current price, stating it has completely lost the series' reputation for value.
Sillycorns takes a measured approach, acknowledging that the Redmi Note 17 is a product of difficult market conditions in 2026. They praise the massive flat display, the impressive battery life that exceeds 10 hours of screen-on time, and the generous update policy. However, they are disappointed by the missing stereo speakers, the downgrade to an entry-level processor, and the lack of 4K video recording. They conclude that while it's heavily compromised compared to past years, it remains an option for buyers whose sole priorities are a giant screen and a battery that never dies.
Before you buy
Some sellers here list the China-market version (HyperOS CN), others the global one. Check which build you are buying
Same as Xiaomi: CN ROM lacks Google + Bangla, conversion difficult now. Many BD gray Redmis are CN units — check before buying.
Widely reported
App scrolling stutter — Frequent frame drops and severe lag occur when scrolling through third-party apps like Instagram and X despite the 120Hz display.
Owners report
Removal of 3.5mm headphone jack.
NO 3.5mm jack so so sad. you're still at the stone age.

Answer a few quick questions and our AI picks the best phone for how you actually use it, ranked from live Bangladesh prices.
Redmi Note 17 costs ৳27,999 to ৳36,499 in Bangladesh on unofficial listings, in stock at 5 shops we track as of 9 Sep 2026. The official price starts at ৳32,999.
How long will the battery last on a typical day?
The 8000 mAh battery is rated 9.7 out of 10 by owners and is called a battery beast. With moderate use it easily exceeds a full day, while heavy use may require a recharge before night.
Is the Redmi Note 17 good for gaming?
Gaming performance is below expectations. The Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset and UFS 2.2 storage cause noticeable lag, and owners rate gaming at 4.0 out of 10. It is not ideal for demanding games.
How does the camera perform in low light?
The main 50 MP sensor lacks an ultrawide lens and the 8 MP selfie camera is dated. In low light the photos are weak and many owners compare it to a 2016 setup, rating the camera 4.5 out of 10.
Does the phone come with an official warranty in Bangladesh?
Only the official listings starting at ৳32,999 include the brand warranty. The cheaper gray‑import options at ৳27,999 have no manufacturer cover and repairs are paid. Most imported units are China or India versions, so check the listing carefully.
