Black Friday offers are already available weeks before the actual day, and Samsung’s latest budget Android phone is an even better deal.
You may have missed the release of the Galaxy A17 5G and its 4G counterpart a few weeks ago. While they may not have the fanfare of an Unpacked event, they are often Samsung’s top-selling phones.
What’s the deal?
The Galaxy A17 5G typically retails for £199 in the UK, but you can already save £30 (15% discount) on all three available colors (blue being the best choice).
Similar to the Galaxy Tab A11 deal, you can find this discounted price on the A17 at various retailers. It’s unlikely to drop further for Black Friday, but it’s not guaranteed.
You can find it at the official Samsung store, Amazon, Currys, Argos, Very, John Lewis, Laptops Direct, and AO.
If you don’t need 5G connectivity, the Galaxy A17 4G is also available with a £30 discount (17% off), bringing the price down to just £139. It offers similar design and specs, making it an even better bargain.
The Galaxy A17 4G can be found at discounted prices at the Samsung store, Amazon, Currys, Argos, Very, and John Lewis.
Why buy it?
The Galaxy A17 5G was recently reviewed and has been on the market since August. While it received a 7/10 score, it ranks high in the budget phone category. Despite minor design changes and camera improvements, it remains largely the same as its predecessor.
The phone offers a stylish design, a vibrant 6.7-inch screen, improved camera stabilization, and long battery life. While the secondary cameras and performance may not be exceptional, it’s suitable for everyday tasks.
Samsung’s One UI interface is user-friendly, and the phone comes with six years of software support, including security updates and new Android versions.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option with long-term support, the Galaxy A17 is a great choice. The 4G model offers excellent value at just over £20 per year if it lasts six years.
If you prefer to spend a bit more, the CMF Phone 2 Pro, our top budget phone pick, is also on sale. Explore more phone and accessory deals for Black Friday.
