Samsung Galaxy A17 5G
Calls and messages on a tight budget

If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.

My short take
GSMArena measured 11.8 hours of active use and calls out subpar performance, a basic screen and no stereo speakers. I'd buy it for someone who mostly calls and messages, since six years of updates is the real draw.
