Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy F17 5G in India, succeeding last year’s F16 5G. The new smartphone starts at ₹14,499 and brings meaningful upgrades in performance, durability, and AI features while maintaining its sleek design.

The Galaxy F17 5G features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Powering the device is the Exynos 1330 chipset, replacing the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 found in its predecessor, paired with 4GB or 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage (expandable up to 2TB via microSD).
On the camera front, the phone retains a 50MP OIS-enabled main sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro shooter, alongside a 13MP front camera. The device runs Android 15 with One UI 7 on top and promises 6 major OS updates and 6 years of security patches, positioning it strongly in terms of long-term software support.
The design has also been refreshed, making the Galaxy F17 5G thinner and lighter at just 7.5mm thickness and 192g weight. It comes with a 5000mAh battery supporting 25W fast charging, IP54 dust and water resistance, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Connectivity options include 5G SA/NSA bands, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and USB Type-C.
