Redmi Launches Note 17 and Note 17 Pro: What’s Next for Poco?
Earlier today, Redmi unveiled the Note 17 and Note 17 Pro in China, marking a significant addition to their smartphone lineup. The Redmi Note 17 carries the model number 26021RN18C. In an interesting turn of events, findings from the latest HyperOS firmware build have revealed references to a new device—the Poco M8 Power, identified by the model number 26021PC18I.
Decoding the Model Numbers
To understand the implications of these model numbers, let’s break them down. The prefix “RN” designates Redmi, while “PC” corresponds to Poco. Additionally, the final character in the model number indicates the intended market: “C” is for China and “I” signifies India. Thus, it is clear that the Poco M8 Power is on its way to India, at the very least. While it may be available in other markets, its definitive arrival in India is confirmed.

Will Poco M8 Power Be a Rebranded Redmi Note 17?
Given the model number’s similarities, it is highly likely that the Poco M8 Power will feature the same specifications as the Redmi Note 17 released in China. Whether the global or Indian variants of the Redmi Note 17 will differ in specifications remains to be seen. Xiaomi’s various sub-brands have a history of marketing similar devices under different names.
If the Poco M8 Power mirrors the Redmi Note 17’s specs, users can anticipate an impressive 7-inch 1080×2396 OLED display boasting a 120Hz refresh rate and a remarkable 1,800-nit peak brightness. Under the hood, it will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 SoC, featuring configurations of 6GB or 8GB of RAM and storage options of 128GB or 256GB. Camera-wise, expect a robust 50MP main camera complemented by an 8MP selfie camera. Finally, the device is rumored to house a massive 8,000 mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging.
