Samsung Galaxy A17 4G smartphone test - Unusually well-equipped budget phone | Notebookcheck
The Samsung Galaxy A17 4G has a more modern design, but otherwise the differences to its predecessor are limited. However, with an AMOLED screen and 6 years of updates, it still stands out among affordable phones.
