Why Consider It?
Having recently reviewed the Galaxy A17 5G, it’s evident that Samsung has made minimal changes compared to its predecessor. Despite this, the phone continues to be a top contender in the budget phone category, holding the second spot in our rankings. It boasts a sleek design, with minor enhancements like stabilization in the main camera. The device is lightweight and features a vibrant 6.7-inch display. The phone’s battery life is impressive, lasting up to two days on a single charge. While the secondary cameras and performance may not be groundbreaking, the phone is more than capable of handling daily tasks efficiently.
Samsung’s One UI interface offers a user-friendly experience, and the device comes with an impressive six years of software support, ensuring you receive security updates and new Android versions. With the 4G model costing just over £20 per year if it lasts for six years, the Galaxy A17 offers exceptional value compared to its competitors.
For those willing to spend a bit more, the CMF Phone 2 Pro, our top pick for budget phones, is also on sale. Stay tuned for more Black Friday deals on phones and accessories.
