Xiaomi has added a 4G variant to its Redmi Note 17 lineup, and the device has now gone through battery life and charging testing at GSMArena.
The publication said it had previously assessed the 5G version of the phone and had committed to a direct comparison between the two models, which it carried out in the dedicated article. GSMArena noted that it compared the Redmi Note 17 4G primarily against 5G handsets, explaining that it does not review many 4G phones and therefore had limited 4G devices available for the comparison.
In a separate development, Xiaomi is bringing the Redmi Note 17 Series to South Africa. According to ITWeb, the company will officially launch the range in the country on 8 October.
