Realme appears to be preparing its next-generation numbered smartphone lineup following the launch of the Realme 16 Pro series in India earlier this year. The company introduced the Realme 16 Pro 5G and Realme 16 Pro+ 5G in January. Now, details about the rumoured Realme 17 Pro have surfaced online, revealing its expected specifications and features.
According to the latest leak, the upcoming smartphone could retain the same processor as its predecessor while bringing a considerably larger battery. However, the camera department may see some changes, with the device reportedly featuring a lower-resolution primary camera and a dual rear camera setup.
Realme 17 Pro Specifications and Features (Expected)
The smartphone is tipped to feature an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor.
The chipset is reportedly configured with four efficiency cores running at 2.0GHz and four performance cores with a maximum clock speed of 2.5GHz.
For the display, Realme is expected to equip the handset with an AMOLED panel offering 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
One of the biggest expected highlights is its battery capacity. The Realme 17 Pro could pack a massive 10,000mAh battery, a detail that also matches earlier leaks surrounding the device.
Realme 17 Pro Camera Details and Other Features
In the camera department, the Realme 17 Pro is tipped to feature a dual rear camera configuration. The setup could include a 50-megapixel primary sensor alongside an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera.
The smartphone is also expected to support video recording at up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. For selfies and video calls, Realme could include either a 32-megapixel or a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.
Other expected features include IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, along with an in-display fingerprint sensor for biometric security.
On the software front, the device is tipped to run Android 17-based ColorOS 17. This follows the reported software transition of Realme smartphones from Realme UI to ColorOS.
Realme 17 Pro vs Realme 16 Pro: Expected Upgrades and Downgrades
Based on the leaked specifications, the Realme 17 Pro could offer a combination of improvements and compromises compared to the Realme 16 Pro.
The Realme 16 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Max chipset, which is a slightly customised version of the standard Dimensity 7300 platform. It also comes with a 7,000mAh battery and a 200-megapixel primary rear camera.
If the latest information is accurate, the Realme 17 Pro could deliver a significant battery upgrade with its rumoured 10,000mAh cell. However, its reported 50-megapixel primary camera would represent a considerable reduction in resolution compared to the 200-megapixel sensor on the previous model.
The upcoming smartphone may therefore retain a similar performance foundation while focusing more on battery capacity. However, its final specifications and features remain unconfirmed, as Realme has not officially announced the Realme 17 Pro.
