Redmi Note 17 Pro Global RAM and Storage Options
According to a report by GSMArena, the phone has been spotted in two major variants in the import-export database:
4GB RAM + 64GB Storage
6B RAM + 128GB Storage
Note: The Redmi Note 17 Pro launched in China comes with 8GB and 12GB of RAM, along with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage options. Therefore, the 4GB/64GB base variant for the global market is a bit surprising, as users nowadays require more storage.

According to the database leak, two different model numbers of this device have surfaced that hint at a rebranding:
