The Galaxy A17 5G, originally priced at £199 in the UK, is currently being offered at a £30 discount (15% off) in all three available colors. Similar to the ongoing deal for the Galaxy Tab A11, this discounted price is accessible from various retailers, and it is unlikely to drop further for Black Friday, though not guaranteed.
For those not in need of 5G connectivity, the Galaxy A17 4G is also available with a £30 discount (17% off), bringing the price down to just £139. With nearly identical design and specifications to its 5G counterpart, this model offers even greater value for money.
Both models are widely available at discounted prices across multiple retailers including the official Samsung store, Amazon, Currys, Argos, Very, John Lewis, Laptops Direct, and AO.
Despite its recent launch in August, the Galaxy A17 5G has already garnered positive reviews. While it maintains the same retail price as its predecessor, minor design enhancements and camera stabilization improvements have been implemented. The device ranks highly in the budget phone category, offering a balance of features and affordability.
Featuring a sleek design and a vibrant 6.7-inch display, the Galaxy A17 is lightweight and stylish. The main camera’s stabilization capabilities enhance photo quality, and the device boasts impressive battery life, lasting up to two days on a single charge.
Although the secondary cameras and performance may not be groundbreaking, the phone is well-suited for everyday tasks. Samsung’s user-friendly One UI interface provides a pleasant experience, and the device is supported with six years of software updates, ensuring longevity and value for money.
If longevity is a priority, the Galaxy A17 offers exceptional value, with the 4G model averaging out to just over £20 per year over a six-year period. In comparison, many budget competitors only provide two to three years of software support, if any.
For those seeking alternative options, the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the top-rated budget phone, is also on sale. Check out our comprehensive list of the best phone and accessory deals for Black Friday to make the most of the shopping season.
