The former has the model number 26021RN18C. Meanwhile, in the latest HyperOS firmware build, references to a Poco M8 Power have been found, and this one has the model number 26021PC18I.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s unpack that. &#8220;RN&#8221; stands for Redmi, &#8220;PC&#8221; stands for Poco. The last character in the model number denotes the region it&#8217;s intended for &#8211; &#8220;C&#8221; is for China, &#8220;I&#8221; is for India. So, with all of that in mind, it certainly looks like the Poco M8 Power is headed to India at least &#8211; of course it could also be offered in other markets, but it&#8217;s definitely coming to India.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" alt=\"Redmi Note 17\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1784092694_390_gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nRedmi Note 17<\/p>\n<p>Based on the model number, the Poco M8 Power is almost certainly going to be a rebranded Chinese Redmi Note 17. Whether this means that the global and\/or Indian Redmi Note 17 will have different specs compared to the Chinese one remains to be seen &#8211; it&#8217;s not above Xiaomi&#8217;s various sub-brands to market the same device in the same market under multiple names.<\/p>\n<p>But the Poco M8 Power should pretty much inherit the specs of the Chinese Redmi Note 17. If that happens, then expect it to sport a 7-inch 1080&#215;2396 OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,800-nit peak brightness, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 SoC, 6\/8GB of RAM, 128\/256GB of storage, a 50MP main camera, an 8MP selfie camera, and an 8,000 mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kacskrz\/status\/2076987009629839612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Via<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier today, Redmi unveiled the Note 17 and Note 17 Pro in China.
