Samsung Galaxy A17 4G 8GB/256GB

Design & Build Quality

The Galaxy A17 4G has a modern, slim design with a thickness of about 7.5 mm and weight around 190g, making it comfortable to hold for long periods.
It features a clean rear camera layout and comes in colors like black, blue, and grey. The phone also includes IP54 splash resistance, meaning it can handle light rain or dust but is not fully waterproof.

Samsung also adds Knox security, fingerprint sensor, and face unlock for protection, which is a big plus at this price point.

Display Quality

One of the strongest features is its 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution (1080 × 2340) and a 90Hz refresh rate.

• Better contrast than LCD screens

For a budget phone, this display is above average and one of its main selling points.
