Released 2025

Samsung's 2025 LTE Galaxy A17 has a 6.7-inch 90 Hz Super AMOLED screen, a stabilised 50 MP camera and six generations of promised Android upgrades. This UK SM-A175F model supports 4G rather than 5G.

What reviewers say

Both reviews liked the AMOLED display and found it adequate for everyday use. Notebookcheck's 4 GB model had limited demanding-app performance and comparatively short battery life; Mobitekno's 8 GB sample felt smooth and lasted a full day. Notebookcheck also found the low-resolution ultrawide camera coarse and warned about screen flicker.
