Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Budget Phone Out Now and On Offer
Samsung has quietly and unceremoniously released its latest budget smartphone champion, the Galaxy A17 5G. After weeks of rumors circulating about the device, Samsung has finally made it available for purchase without much fanfare.
The Galaxy A17 5G can now be found on various retailers, including Samsung Ireland and UK retailers such as Very, Argos, and Carphone Warehouse, where it is priced at £199. Some retailers are even offering a £20 discount on the device with codes like SAMSUNG5G for Argos and GALAXY20 for Carphone Warehouse.
In terms of specifications, the Samsung Galaxy A17 boasts a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is powered by an Exynos 1330 processor and houses a 5000mAh battery for long-lasting usage. The device also features an IP54-certified design with Gorilla Glass Victus protection, a significant upgrade from its predecessor.
Camera-wise, the Galaxy A17 sports a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a feature that is not commonly found in budget smartphones. This addition is expected to enhance the overall camera performance of the device.
Samsung promises six years of OS and security updates for the Galaxy A17, setting a high standard for budget smartphones in the £200 category. The previous model, the Samsung Galaxy A16, was praised for its design, AMOLED display, and software update promise but criticized for its slow performance, average battery life, and subpar secondary cameras. It will be interesting to see if Samsung has addressed these issues with the Galaxy A17 5G.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G seems to be a promising budget option with improved specifications and features compared to its predecessor. With its affordable price point and upgraded capabilities, the Galaxy A17 5G is definitely worth considering for budget-conscious consumers looking for a reliable smartphone.
