This new mid-range device succeeds last year’s Galaxy F16 5G and brings notable upgrades in performance, design, and reliability, making it an appealing choice for budget-conscious buyers seeking a 5G-ready smartphone.
Sleek Design and Vibrant Display
The Galaxy F17 5G features a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. The screen ensures vibrant colors and fluid scrolling, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, and daily use. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protects the display from scratches and accidental drops. Compared to its predecessor, the F17 is slightly slimmer and lighter, enhancing comfort during long usage.
Performance Powered by Exynos 1330

Battery, Connectivity, and Software
A 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging provides long-lasting usage. The phone supports 5G, dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and GPS, with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. It runs Android 15 with One UI 7, backed by 6 major OS updates and 6 years of security patches.
