    Intro

    Cheap Samsung Galaxy is going to A16 Backup Android phones for many people, and for a good reason. All this $ 200 device offers an excellent display, a decent camera system, and six -year software support, covering the most important smartphone pillars.

    Now, Samsung has quietly launched the successor, the Galaxy A17, and it is very interesting to see what the new model upgraded to the table. And some are quite prominent, such as 120 heritage display refresh rate, which is crazy to see on such a budget phone when The iPhone 16 is still stuck at 60 Hz. But let’s not go beyond yourself.

    Design and size

    Are going backwards?
    The last A-Series phones took a design indicator from the Galaxy S-lineup, which presented a sleek and stylish look, which had a separate cut out for the cameras behind the Galaxy Ultra some time ago.

    Now, the Galaxy A17 changes the design, which returns a long, tablet -shaped camera housing, like Soni has been using on Express phones for the past two generations.

    We do not feel more attractive to change, because we were fond of the stylish style of the Galaxy A16, but in the eyes of the beauty viewer. The front part of both phones is almost identical, with tear cutouts for a large extent around the screen, a heavy chin, and a selfie camera.

    In terms of content, there are some differences. The Galaxy A16 uses plastic frames and waist and gorilla glass victory on the screen, while the Galaxy A17 is listed with glass fiberback material and the same plastic frame and a protected display. The dimension is almost the same, but the A17 is 0.4 mm thin and 8 grams heavier than its successor. When you hold the phone in your hand, it is almost undeniable, so for all the intentions and purposes, they both feel exactly the same.

    Color options are very similar. The new Galaxy A17 is available in black, gray and blue, while the previous generation offers light green instead of blue options.

    Demonstrate the differences

    120 Heritz for the public

    It’s crazy how $ 200 phones can you get 120 heritage refresh rate while Apple still rocks 60 herts on its premium IPhone 16. But it is like that, the Galaxy A17 comes with a 6.7 -inch Super AMOLED display, which is capable of reaching 120 Hz. The resolution is FHD+ (1080 x 2340 pixels), resulting in 358 PPI Pixel density. Now, in terms of brightness, the Galaxy A17 still gives a list of 800 NITS support in HBM (high brightness mode) but we need some tests to confirm it.

    On the other hand, the Galaxy A16 features a very matching display panel, which shocks the same resolution and brightness data and the same pixel density, and only the difference is in refresh rate – it can only be up to 90 heritage. In our display test, A16 managing 733 NITS 100 AP APL and 1.6 NITs maximum brightness, which is commendable. Soon the lab’s results remain tun.

    Performance and Software

    Acinos ruined the party
    An important area where we suffered a lack of Galaxy A16 was its chip set. Ecinos was 1330 and is still a very minor chip, and we say “still is” because the galaxy A17 still includes the same silicon. There is no upgrade in this department, we are afraid.

    This Okita Core processor Gack Bench arranged below 1000 points in 6 single -core tests and close to 1900 points in multi -core performance. The 3D mark score was also not very impressive – 360 points. We do not expect that the Galaxy A17 will mainly perform better, in view of this it uses the same chapest, but we need to run the test to compare how it performs the Silicon’s new phone.

    In terms of Ram, both phones film their respective settings. We have twenty 4GB/128GB version, and it goes up in 2GB steps. The most different types feature 8 GB RAM and 256GB storage, which brought both phones to the madness area.

    Camera

    The same hardware?

    No one is expected to surprise from the $ 200 phone, especially when the camera talks. But the Galaxy A16 took us in surprise, scoring 124 out of 158 in our comprehensive camera benchmark. The central 50MP camera scored 71 (85), which, considering all things, is a beautiful decent score. The selfie camera also performed commendable, with a score of 25 out of 30.

    The Galaxy A17 has the same camera system that has the same 50 MP main camera (this time supported by optical image stabilization), the same 5 MP ultra -wide, and the same useless 2 MP macro camera.

    It will be interesting to see if Samsung has tweeted the image processing algorithm to improve the quality of the camera or left everything on the Galaxy A17 compared to the previous model. We are reviewing when typing this, so soon be compatible with the sample comparison.

    Battery life and charging

    No change
    In the battery department, there are no changes. For all intentions and purposes, the Galaxy A17 and its predecessor should be seen as a single phone. At least when it comes to battery and charging.

    Now, when it comes to performance, MAH’s 5,000 battery and acneos 1330 are not the best pair. A16 managed to get 6 H 12 meters on the same charge in our comprehensive battery test, which is ranked 101st in the phone tested in the last 2 years. In view of the minor strength and bee battery, we expect more. The test will tell us whether Samsung has improved the situation on Galaxy A17.

    This is the same to charge – both phones cap is on 25W wired and do not support any wireless charging. This is a slow charging speed by any standard, and A16 took 1 H 43 meters to completely charged, which in the world where a midwife motorola can charge in half an hour, is not fast enough.

    Abstract

    We are thinking about a thorough review of Galaxy A17, so this comparison will soon be settled through a benchmark, display test and camera sample. But even at this point we can draw some conclusions.

    The Galaxy A17 is the same phone as a predecessor like its predecessor, except for some minor refreshments. The 6.7 -inch screen can now refresh up to 120 Hz, while the previous model was closed in 90 Hz. There is a minor design change about camera housing, and A17 is a small light and thin.

    Make a case for the software situation. Both phones have offered up to six -year -old Android updates, which is amazing for this budget section, but the Galaxy A17 will revive its predecessor for a year, as it is modern.

    Now, if you are looking for a budget phone or backup phone, the Galaxy A series and especially the A17 and A16 are both decent options. The phone is currently on pre -order for 239 euros (we expect our availability and pricing soon), and such money is a bargain.

    If you already own the Galaxy A16, there is no need to upgrade, because the differences are less. When we finish the Galaxy A17 review, we will update this comparison with all benchmark results.
