72% Samsung Galaxy M15 5G smartphone review – AMOLED, a wide-angle camera and a huge battery for under US$200 | Notebookcheck
The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G is an affordable mid-range smartphone with a large battery capacity and an AMOLED screen that can exclusively be purchased online. Does it offer enough to set itself apart from other inexpensive phones?
Samsung Galaxy M15 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Samsung Galaxy M15 smartphone brings the focus back to the lower-midrange sector once again. This sector has been neglected for so long and most smartphones available here, don’t appeal to modern users. The phone lacks in performance, it is way off the mark and its cameras seriously lack the capability. Many smartphones in this price range still don’t have 5G connectivity and that too in 2024. The Samsung Galaxy M15 addresses all these issues with flying colors. The camera performance is exceptional considering the price tag. On top of that, the Samsung Galaxy M15’s battery capabilities are through the roof. You won’t find another smartphone with this battery level at the same price tag while bringing so many things to the table. It also comes with the latest Android out of the box with the commitment of getting 4-5 years of software updates.

83% Samsung Galaxy M16 5G: A budget twin of A16
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
So, what’s the conclusion? Well, if you’re trying to decide between the A16 and the M16, and you don’t need the extra 8GB RAM version, the M16 is clearly the better deal. You’re saving money and getting almost exactly the same experience. The M16 looks a bit better, works just as well, and still gives you long-term updates and solid performance for everyday use. Unless you really need that higher RAM option for heavy multitasking, the M16 is the smart pick here. It’s great for regular users, content consumers, and anyone who wants a reliable phone that will last for years without breaking the bank.

Samsung Galaxy M17 Specifications, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Samsung Galaxy M17, announced on October 10 and released just a few days later on October 13, comes as a balanced mid-range phone with a focus on display quality, long software support, and clean everyday performance. It has a slim 7.5 mm body and weighs 192 grams, making it easy to hold despite its large screen. The build uses a Gorilla Glass Victus front with a plastic back and frame, and Samsung adds an IP54 rating for dust protection and splash resistance. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display is one of its best features, offering Full HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and up to 1100 nits brightness, which keeps it easy to view outdoors. One UI 7 based on Android 15 comes preinstalled, backed by an impressive promise of 6 major Android upgrades, giving the phone long life in the software department.

85% Samsung Galaxy M17 5G Review: Worth Buying in 2025?
Source: The Mobile Indian English
The Samsung Galaxy M17 5G strikes a balance between design, display quality and long-term software assurance. It's a phone made for people who want a smooth multimedia experience, a camera that performs well in bright light, and a brand that promises more than 2 years of OS support —something most other phone makers don't offer.However, its dated processor and modest low-light camera output limit its appeal for those seeking raw performance. The Galaxy M17 is a good value for money offering in budget segment for casual users, students and people who are buying 5G for the first time. It doesn't try too hard, but it works as expected.

80% Samsung M17 review: Large display and lasting battery on a budget
Source: The Indian Express English
As a former Samsung J-series user, moving up alphabetically to the M-series made me nostalgic. The budget smartphone segment is the hardest to crack, with multiple manufacturers trying to offer the best possible feature set at the lowest possible price. The Samsung M17 is a strong contender in this space, delivering exactly what users typically look for: a budget-friendly device with a large display. Samsung’s M17 has travelled around a little, and here is what I think stands out from its competitors. While the gadget does pack a decent amount of firepower, it does have some features that can be called into question. From the camera to its performance, here is a rundown of how the device held up.

81% Samsung Galaxy M17 review: good display & longevity at its core
Source: 91mobiles English
The Samsung Galaxy M17 offers a vibrant AMOLED display and a camera that captures natural tones, making it a solid choice for everyday use for viewing content and taking daylight pictures, using both rear and front cameras. With long software support and NFC for convenient payments, it stands as a unique choice at Rs 12,999 for those prioritising display quality, longevity, and display durability, thanks to Gorilla Glass Victus. However, the performance could use a boost, as the handset shows signs of stutters in regular usage, while the low-light photography needs improvement to tackle the noise artefacts. Similarly, the absence of a charger in the box is a minor inconvenience if the one you already have doesn’t charge the Galaxy M17 at its full potential.
