Redmi Note 17 Visits EEC Certification Database Along With a New Vivo Handset, Hinting at Imminent Global Launch

Redmi Note 15 series was launched in India earlier this year, in January. The series currently includes four handsets, including the Note 15, Note 15 Pro, Note 15 Pro+, and Note 15 SE. Soon after the launch of the lineup in the country, leaks related to its successor started surfacing online, and the Redmi Note 17 series is expected to be unveiled by the Xiaomi sub-brand in China later this year. While the company has yet to confirm its launch, a Redmi Note 17 series phone has reportedly been spotted on a certification website in the EU, hinting that it could also debut in select global markets soon.

Redmi Note 17 Series Could Launch Soon Globally

An unspecified Xiaomi smartphone, bearing the model number 26081RA18G, has been spotted on the European Economic Community (EEC) certification database. The Tech Outlook reports that the listing belongs to a rumoured Redmi Note 17 series phone. Separately, an unnamed Vivo smartphone, with the model number V2619, has also been listed on the certification website.

While the listings do not reveal any specifications or features of the upcoming Redmi Note 17 series and Vivo handsets, they do suggest that these smartphones could be launched in select global markets soon. According to the report, the Redmi Note 17 series could be launched as early as August, which is only a few months away. Since the two smartphone makers have to confirm these details, one must take these details with a pinch of salt.

However, this is not the first time that a Redmi Note 17 series handset has been listed on a certification website. Recently, the standard Redmi Note 17 model was spotted on the GSMA database, bearing the model numbers 26012RN62L, 26012RN62Y, and 26012RN62A, corresponding to the global and Latin American variants of the rumoured handset.

The lineup might also include a Pro Max model this year. The purported Redmi Note 17 Pro Max will reportedly be equipped with a 200-megapixel primary rear camera. The handset might also boast an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, featuring an Omnivision OV08F10 sensor. Lastly, it is said to sport a 32-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls, with a Samsung ISOCELL S5KKDS sensor.
