Receive it on friday 06 de november
In this category, you’ll find parts for the Xiaomi Redmi 17, mainly for the 5G version: screen assembly, charging port, button flex cable and fingerprint sensor. This 2026 model has a large 6.9-inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. Whether you’re repairing your own phone or working on several devices a week in a repair shop, the key is to identify which variant you have, as two phones are sold under the same name.
26062RN92G or 2606FRN72Y: how to check if your Xiaomi Redmi 17 is 5G or 4G
Xiaomi sells two phones under the Redmi 17 name. The Redmi 17 5G has a Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 processor and model code 26062RN92G in the global variant (26062RN92I in the Indian version). The Redmi 17 4G, which Xiaomi has officially launched in Spain, is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G91-Ultra and has the model code 2606FRN72Y.
To check which one you have, go to Settings > About phone > All specifications and find the model field. If the phone won’t start, the code is also shown on the original packaging. As the 5G version is not officially distributed in Spain, a Redmi 17 bought in the country is usually the 4G version. However, the 5G version is also available through imports, so always check before confirming your order.
In terms of design, the two variants are almost identical: they share the same dimensions (170.1 x 78.4 x 8.8 mm), display with a punch-hole front camera, dual rear camera and side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The most visible difference is the back cover: the 5G version has a faux-leather finish, while the 4G version has a plastic back. Inside, they use different processors and therefore different motherboards. As a result, some parts are only approved for one of the two variants. Don’t confuse it with the Redmi Note 17 or the Xiaomi 17 either: these are different devices, each with its own parts.
Original and OEM parts for the Redmi 17 5G: what each offers
What the original screen assembly retains
The Redmi 17 has a 6.9-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution (1600 x 720) and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, protected as standard by Gorilla Glass 7i. Our original screen assembly for Redmi 17 5G is an Original quality part: it retains the factory panel’s resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate and touch response.
This model has a practical advantage: the fingerprint reader is not integrated into the glass, but is located on the side. This means that replacing the screen won’t affect fingerprint unlocking, which can influence the choice of replacement part on other phones. Before ordering, check your model code: this part is listed for the 5G version. If your phone is the 2606FRN72Y, contact us first to check compatibility.
Side-mounted fingerprint reader and buttons: two flex cables with different compatibility
In our catalogue, the fingerprint sensor and button flex cable are two separate components, and they are not compatible with the same models:
- The original fingerprint sensor flex cable for Redmi 17 4G and 5G is suitable for both versions. It’s the easiest part to choose correctly if you’re unsure of the model code.
- The original power and volume button flex cable for Redmi 17 5G is intended for the 5G version. If your phone is 4G, check the model before ordering.
If you replace the fingerprint sensor, bear in mind that you’ll need to delete your saved fingerprints and register them again in the security settings. This also lets you check that the new reader works properly before fully closing the phone.
OEM-quality USB-C connector
The Redmi 17 charges via USB-C at up to 45 W, so the port handles high currents with every charge. The OEM USB charging port for Redmi 17 5G is an OEM quality part, usually cheaper than the original, and restores charging and wired connectivity. Like the other internal components in this category, it is listed for the 5G version: check the code before buying.
What to know before taking apart a Xiaomi Redmi 17
The Redmi 17 has an IP64 rating for protection against dust and splashes. This protection comes from the factory seal, so it cannot be guaranteed to remain after the phone has been opened. Keep this in mind if the device will be used outdoors frequently, and replace the adhesive seals when closing it.
Another important point is that each internal component in this list is linked to a specific version. The fingerprint sensor is suitable for both the 4G and 5G versions, but the screen, button flex cable and charging port are listed only for the Redmi 17 5G. If you run a repair shop, note the model code on the job sheet before ordering the part: this helps you avoid returns for two phones that look almost identical from the outside.
