Why buy the Redmi 17 4G
- Battery that outlasts most rivals. At 7,500mAh it holds more charge than most phones at this price, so a day of hotspot use, YouTube and calls should not drain it.
- Charging that keeps up. 45W is fast for a budget phone. A short top-up during lunch adds a useful amount of charge.
- It can charge your other gadgets. With 22.5W reverse charging over a cable, the phone can top up earbuds or a second phone when there is no socket nearby.
- Wired audio still works. The 3.5mm jack means your old earphones and car aux cable still plug straight in.
- Plenty of storage options. Two of the three versions come with 256GB, and there is room for a microSD card on top.
