5 Redmi phones on Tuvvo, best first. Checked 19 October 2026.
- Our pick: buy this
#1Redmi Note 17 Pro Max
₹49,999A giant 10,000mAh battery, a bright screen and very tough build in one Redmi.
- One of the longest-lasting phones tested (22 hours 31 minutes in GSMArena's test of the 9210mAh EU model); 100W charging.
- Decent 50MP main camera with a larger sensor and 4K video, but a basic 8MP wide-angle and no zoom.
- Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 handles daily apps well but is slow for heavy games at this price.
- Heavy at about 230g, and the chip is slow for ₹49,999.
- HyperOS 3 (Android 16), 4 years of updates • 7.4/10
- Best alternative
#2Redmi Note 17 5G
₹27,999A giant-screen Redmi with an 8000mAh battery and four years of Android updates.
- 8000mAh battery easily lasts a full day with plenty left; 45W charging takes about 90 minutes.
- Just one 50MP camera on the back, decent in daylight but inconsistent at night, and no 4K video.
- Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 is slower than last year's model; fine for daily apps, weak for games.
- Slower chip than the Redmi Note 15, a single camera and a single speaker for ₹27,999.
- HyperOS 3 (Android 16), 4 years of updates • 6.9/10
#3Redmi Note 17 Pro
₹36,999A very tough Redmi with a huge 9000mAh battery and a big, bright screen.
- Excellent battery life (17 hours 32 minutes in GSMArena's test of the 8340mAh global model; India gets 9000mAh), with 67W charging.
- Basic: a small-sensor 50MP main camera and an 8MP wide-angle, and video only goes up to 1080p.
- Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 is fine for apps and social media but weak for games.
- Slow chip and basic cameras for ₹36,999; the Poco X8 has the same hardware for less.
- HyperOS 3 (Android 16), 4 years of updates • 6.9/10
#4Redmi Note 15 5G
₹28,999A slim, tough Redmi with a bright AMOLED screen, a 108MP stabilised camera and four years of Android updates.
- 5520mAh battery lasted over 14 hours in GSMArena's test, a solid full day; 45W charging fills it in about 67 minutes.
- 108MP main camera with stabilisation plus a wide-angle camera; solid, not outstanding.
- Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is smooth for daily use; GSMArena found gaming battery life poor.
- The price has jumped from ₹22,999 to ₹28,999, and the Poco M8 has the same chip, screen and battery for much less.
- HyperOS 3 (Android 16), 4 years of updates • 6.9/10
#5Redmi 15C 5G
₹18,499A huge-screen Redmi for watching videos, with 5G and a long-lasting battery.
- 6000mAh battery with 33W charging, so it lasts all day and charges reasonably fast.
- A 50MP main camera that is fine outdoors, average indoors.
- Dimensity 6300 handles everyday apps; games need low settings.
- Only two Android updates, a low-resolution screen, and the price has jumped from ₹12,499 to ₹18,499.
- HyperOS 3 (Android 16), 2 years of updates • 6.4/10
