Samsung Galaxy F17 5G: Samsung has formally introduced the Galaxy F17 5G in India as a replacement for the Galaxy F16 5G. It comes with a slimmer and lighter body, Gorilla Glass Victus protection, and a redesigned camera module. Although it still carries the same 6.7-inch screen, 5000mAh battery, and camera setup of the previous phone, the Galaxy F17 5G brings Samsung’s proprietary Exynos 1330 chipset to ensure maximum efficiency and performance.

Design and Display: Sleeker and Stronger
Galaxy F17 5G features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED with a 90Hz refresh rate, which provides smooth visuals for everyday use as well as for multimedia consumption. The screen is also supported by Samsung using Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, which is stronger and more scratch-resistant as well as drop-proof than the earlier models. The phone is extremely thin and easy to handle at 7.5mm in thickness and 192g in weight without compromising durability.
Performance: Exynos Power Under the Hood
In place of the F16’s MediaTek Dimensity 6300, the Galaxy F17 5G now packs the 5nm Exynos 1330 with Mali-G68 MP2 GPU. The change should make for improved power efficiency and graphics. Pricers can choose from 4GB or 6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage, with 2TB extension via a microSD card. The phone has a hybrid dual SIM slot for convenience between SIM and expandable storage.
Cameras: Stable Triple-Lens Pair
On the back, the Galaxy F17 5G has a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 5MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2MP macro camera. In the Infinity-U notch is a 13MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The hardware remains identical to the F16 5G, but optical image stabilization adds a touch of class to photos and videos, especially in night conditions.
Battery and Software: Long-Term Support
The device is backed by a 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support, ensuring a full day of use even with heavy workloads. On the software side, it runs Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7, and Samsung promises six years of OS updates and security patches. This commitment positions the F17 5G as a future-proof option in the budget-friendly 5G category.
