Intro
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?
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.
| Galaxy A17 | Galaxy A16 |

| Thickness 7.5 mm | Thickness 7.9 mm |
| Weight 192 grams | Weight 200 grams |
| Galaxy A17 | Galaxy A16 |
|---|---|

| Gray | Gray |
| Blue | Light green |
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.
| Galaxy A17 | Galaxy A16 |
|---|---|
| Mann screen 6.7 inch | Mann screen 6.7 inch |
| Hbm shine 800 nets | Hbm shine 800 nets |
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
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.
| Galaxy A17 | Galaxy A16 |
|---|---|
| Chip set Acinos 1330 5nm | Chip set Acinos 1330 5nm |
| Memory Up to 8 gb | Memory Up to 8 gb |
| Storage 128 GB 256 GB | Storage 128 GB 256 GB |
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.
| Galaxy A17 | Galaxy A16 |
|---|---|
| Main camera 50mp | Main camera 50mp |
| Ultrawide 5mp | Ultrawide 5mp |
| Macro 2 mp | Macro 2 mp |
| Selfie 13 mp | Selfie 13 mp |
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
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.
| Galaxy A17 | Galaxy A16 |
|---|---|
| Battery 5000mah | Battery 5000mah |
| Wired charging 25w | Wired charging 25w |
| Wireless charging No wireless support | Wireless charging No wireless support |
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
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.
