Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
A high-contrast screen
The Samsung Galaxy A17 has a 6.7-inch OLED screen with deep blacks that give photos and video more depth. It also suits reading with a dark theme.
Optical stabilisation on the main camera
The 50 MP main camera has OIS to compensate for small hand movements. It helps with stationary subjects in low light, though it cannot freeze a moving child or pet.
A sizeable battery and wired charging
The Samsung Galaxy A17 combines a 5000 mAh battery with charging at up to 25 W. It is a practical everyday combination, though runtime depends on brightness, network conditions and workload. Maximum charging power needs a compatible adapter.
Room for more in the frame
An ultrawide camera sits alongside the main camera. It helps fit a room, a large building or a group of friends into the frame without having to step far back.
