Other alleged specifications include an optical fingerprint sensor, an IP65 rating, and a plastic frame. It is confirmed to feature an 8,000mAh battery with 45W charging (20K Anker power bank curr. $69.99 on Amazon).

Furthermore, Xiaomi has already revealed that the Redmi Note 17 Pro will sport a flat display with a "1.5K" resolution, while the latest leak claims that the panel will measure 6.83 inches. The leak also mentions a 50MP primary camera, an optical fingerprint sensor, and a plastic frame.
