Samsung Galaxy A17 5G: no announcement, still official

Without a press release or any other announcement, Samsung has published the Galaxy A17 5G on its website. And with that, the entry-level model has become official after being leaked several times before. What to expect, when and for how much you can read here.

The Galaxy A17 5G is one of the simplest Galaxy phones you can buy. It is also one of the few, if not the only one, with a notch in the screen for the selfie camera. And yet Samsung is charging a hefty €229 for one.

The design is pretty modern with fairly thin screen bezels. This is not the case with the bottom side, which still has a firm chin. The camera module is nicely designed and includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS). There will be three color versions of which the dark blue one looks very premium. There is also a gray and all-black version of the A17 5G.

Galaxy A17 5G specifications

Under the hood, the device uses an Exynos 1330 chip with 4GB of RAM memory. The storage memory comes out to 128GB but is expandable up to 2TB by inserting a memory card. The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh and can be quickly charged with up to 25W.

Whether there will be a 4G version of it like its predecessor is still unknown; it is not yet listed on the Samsung website. However, it is obvious since there is also a Galaxy A16 4G. Moreover, images of it leaked earlier.

Samsung says it will deliver the Galaxy A17 5G after August 11 for a suggested retail price of €239 but we have also spotted it €10 cheaper already. In addition to the device, the box contents include a USB Type-C to Type-C cable a sim eject tool.
