TECNO Spark 50 vs Xiaomi Redmi 17 5G: Which One to Choose?
In this comparison, we put the TECNO Spark 50 against the Xiaomi Redmi 17 5G to see which one suits you. Both offer a massive battery and a 120Hz refresh rate display, but differences in processor, charging, and price may decide your choice.
1TECNO Spark 50: Massive Battery and High RAM
The TECNO Spark 50 comes with a large 7000 mAh battery, making it a good choice for those who spend a long day away from a charger. The display measures 6.78 inches and supports a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling smoother. It also offers RAM up to 24 GB (16 GB extended) and storage of 256 GB or 128 GB, which suits users who want to run many apps without slowdown.
Another strength is the dual speakers with DTS technology, which improves the viewing and gaming experience. The rear camera is 50 MP with a rear flash, and the front camera is 8 MP with a front flash.
However, note that the display resolution is limited to 720×1600, which may reduce detail sharpness compared to higher-resolution screens. Also, fast charging is only 18W, which is slower than its competitor. The price in Egypt starts at 13,999 EGP at B.TECH, in Saudi Arabia from 649 SAR, and in the UAE from 699 AED.
In short, the TECNO Spark 50 is suitable for those who want long battery life, large RAM, and good speakers, and don't mind a lower-resolution screen and slower charging.
2Redmi 17 5G: Bigger Display and Faster Charging
The Redmi 17 5G features a large 6.9-inch display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, providing ample viewing space for content. The battery is 7500 mAh, slightly larger than the TECNO's, and supports 45W fast charging and 22.5W wired reverse charging. This means much faster charging than its competitor.
The device runs on a Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 processor, a mid-range chip, with 4 GB or 6 GB RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB storage. It also supports a memory card up to 2 TB, a practical feature for storing files. The rear camera is 50 MP main + auxiliary lens, and the front camera is 8 MP. It also carries an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, and weighs 232 g.
On the downside, the display resolution is limited to 1600×720, which may show some lack of clarity. The processor is mid-range, and no charger adapter is included in the box. The price in Egypt starts at 13,999 EGP at 2B, in Saudi Arabia from 933 SAR, and in the UAE from 849 AED.
The Redmi 17 5G is suitable for those who want a larger display, faster charging, and a huge battery, with memory card support, but it offers less RAM than the TECNO.
Verdict
If you are looking for long battery life, large RAM, and dual speakers, the TECNO Spark 50 is the better choice, especially at its price in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. If your priority is a larger display, faster charging, and memory card support up to 2 TB, with an IP64 rating, then the Redmi 17 5G is worth considering, but keep in mind that RAM is lower and the charger is not included. The decision depends on what you prefer: daily performance with large RAM (TECNO) or a bigger screen and faster charging (Redmi).
