Samsung Galaxy A17 Specs
The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G is likely going to be Samsung’s most popular smartphone of 2026. Typically, the Galaxy A1x devices sell better than any other Android phone in the world, each year, followed by the Galaxy A3x and then the Galaxy A5x smartphones. In fact, in 2025, the Galaxy A16 5G was the most-sold Android phone.
The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G release date was August 14, 2025. It didn’t make it to the US until January 2026, however.
Samsung Galaxy A17 5G – $199
Samsung’s Galaxy A17 is one of the best, cheap smartphones you can buy in 2026.
The Galaxy A17 5G is a pretty cheap device, and we’ll see that come to life when we look at the specs. It has an MSRP of $199, but is typically on sale for $169, and sometimes you’ll be able to get it for free through some wireless carriers. And of course, the specs reflect that. It still has a 6.7-inch display, powered by the Exynos 1330 processor and up to 8GB of RAM. It also has a 5,000mAh capacity battery, which is the same size as the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
What really sets the Galaxy A17 5G apart from other sub-$200 smartphones is the update policy. Samsung is promising 6 years of major OS upgrades for the Galaxy A17 5G, which is pretty much unheard of in this price segment. It is a year shy of what Samsung’s update policy is for the flagships, like the Galaxy S25.
The Galaxy A17 5G did launch with Android 15 but has already been upgraded to Android 16. This includes One UI 8, so it’s on the same software as the Galaxy S25 series. But one major caveat here is Galaxy AI. That is not available on the Galaxy A17 5G, likely due to processing power and potentially as a way to differentiate the Galaxy A17 5G from the more expensive Galaxy phones on the market.
Without further ado, here is the complete Samsung Galaxy A17 5G spec sheet. If you’re interested in the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G, you can also check out our Galaxy A17 review.
