Samsung Stays The Course with its Entry-Level Model

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 23:05:02 GMT

Samsung has announced its newest entry-level phone for the US, the Galaxy A17 5G. It replaces the Galaxy A16 5G while changing essentially none of the hardware specs or features. The primary change is the body, which is now more durable thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the front, and a "glass fiber reinforced polymer" on the back. These material changes also make the phone lighter and slightly slimmer. The software has also been updated, to Android 16, and Samsung promises six years of software updates. It will be available in black, blue, and gray. It goes on sale January 7 for $200. It will be offered by AT&T, T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, and Verizon. It will also be available from samsung.com, where customers "can receive up to 30% off Galaxy Buds3 FE or up to 10% off Galaxy Watch7."
