Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy A17 6 GB / 128 GB / Global / SM-A176B technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy A17 suits buyers seeking a balanced 5G phone with a large AMOLED display and long software support. Its main trade-off is the 5,000 mAh battery, which is smaller than most phones of its time; 25 W charging is typical.

The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display supports Always-On Display and reaches 800 nits. At 7.5 mm, the body is among the thinnest of its time, while its 192 g weight is lighter than most phones of its time. The 90 Hz refresh rate is among the weakest of its generation. This version combines 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, although the Galaxy A17 is also sold with up to 8 GB / 256 GB.

The 50 MP main camera includes optical image stabilization, but its 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than most phones of its time. A 5 MP ultrawide camera and 1080p video at 30 fps add flexibility. 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3 and multiple SIM options make the connectivity practical. Its overall NeoScore is 6.0, typical among phones of its time. It is a sensible choice for display, software support and connectivity, but not for maximum battery capacity or a large main camera sensor.
