Xiaomi Redmi Note 17 review – Big battery, R10,000 questions

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 17 is one mighty confusing smartphone. On the one hand, it knows how to play to its mid-range market with its 7,700mAh battery. On the other… Xiaomi has made sacrifices in a couple of key areas that left us wondering why this smartphone costs R10,000. Brands like Oppo have proved batteries (nearly) as big as this one can be had for less, even in South Africa. And even that… raised eyebrows at Stuff.
