Samsung Galaxy A17 8GB - New Entry to Budget Category! Samsung Galaxy A17’s Pakistani launch details are in. This is a 4G version of the Galaxy A17. There’s a Helio G99 chip inside, and the basic model sticks to 6GB RAM. Samsung left the rest of its specs the same as the original 5G version, so you are not getting skimped in any way. It consists of an AMOLED 6.7” 90Hz panel on its front with a Gorilla Glass Victus shield. Its resolution is 1080p, and the peak brightness hits 800 nits. A waterdrop notch houses the 13MP selfie camera. An IP54-rated design gave it a minor water splash and dust ingress. The OS built into the phone is Android 15 x One UI 7. The A17 gets you started with 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM in Pakistan. The A17 4G has three cameras on the back, all with functional sensors. A 50MP sensor lies under the primary camera. This main shooter has OIS stability for the first time. The other cameras are a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens for close-up shots. The camera in the display notch is 13MP for selfies. A17’s battery size is your standard 5000mAh with a 25W wired input for backup. The WiFi on this handset is basic 5GHz with a fairly good Bluetooth v5.3. Plus, its fingerprint ID can be found on the left side. The 6/128GB option has a reasonable Rs 54,999 price. The price is higher for the 8/256GB trim at Rs 62,999.
