Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy A17 5G, a new model in its successful A series. The smartphone combines a large FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a versatile triple camera, long-lasting battery life and smart AI functions. The device is therefore aimed at users who are looking for a reliable and modern smartphone for everyday use – without compromising on comfort or performance.

  • 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with brilliant visuals
  • Triple camera with 50 MP main sensor and 13 MP front camera
  • 5,000 mAh battery with 25 watt fast charging function
  • Up to six years of software and security updates

Strong performance for everyday use

The Galaxy A17 5G has a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display that ensures clear colors and razor-sharp images. It offers a smooth display, especially when streaming, scrolling through social media or gaming. With a triple camera on the back – consisting of a 50 MP main camera, a 5 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2 MP macro lens – the smartphone covers many usage scenarios. The 13 MP front camera also ensures detailed selfies and video calls.

The multimedia orientation is supported by a 5,000 mAh battery, which offers enough capacity for a whole day. Thanks to the 25 watt fast charging function, the device can be recharged within a short time. Samsung offers memory variants with 128 GB or 256 GB, which can be expanded by up to 2 TB using a microSD card – a strong argument for anyone who wants to use a lot of photos, videos or apps on their device.

Smart functions and a long update guarantee

A key highlight is the integration of Google Gemini, which can be accessed quickly via the function button. This provides smart AI features that can simplify everyday life – be it through intelligent suggestions, quick responses or personalized user experiences.

Longevity is ensured by the generous update promise of up to six years for operating system and security updates. This means that the Galaxy A17 5G will remain secure and up to date for years to come – something that is not a given in the mid-range segment.

Samsung doesn’t skimp on the practical functions either: Dark Mode, Adaptive Brightness, Eye Comfort Mode, Multi Window and Screen Zoom are all part of the range of functions. Thanks to IP54 certification, the smartphone is also protected against dust and splash water – a useful feature for everyday use.
