Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Benchmark Reveals Key Specs

A new entry in Samsung‘s popular budget-friendly lineup, the Galaxy A17 5G, has just made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmark. The listing gives us an early peek at what’s under the hood. The device could be an interesting option for those looking for an affordable phone with solid connectivity.

The benchmark listing confirms that the Galaxy A17 5G will be powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 1380 processor. This chip, which debuted in 2023, was specifically designed for more accessible devices that still offer 5G connectivity. It’s paired with a Mali G68 GPU for handling graphics. This suggests a capable performance for everyday tasks and casual gaming.

The A17 5G scored 942 and 2,137 points in Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

The listing (via yabhishekhd) also reveals that the Galaxy A17 5G will ship with Android 15 pre-installed. This means users can expect all the features and customization options of One UI 7. The benchmark also reveals that the device will come with 6GB of RAM, a decent figure for multitasking.

Beyond the core specifications, an earlier report hinted at a significant upgrade for the Galaxy A17 5G’s camera. It could be the first phone in the Galaxy A1x line to feature Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). For an affordable phone, OIS is a big deal, as it dramatically improves photo quality. This is especially true in challenging conditions like low light or when capturing moving subjects. The potential improvement could make the A17 5G a strong contender for those prioritizing decent pictures without breaking the bank.

Full specifications are still under wraps, but we can make some educated guesses based on its predecessor. The Galaxy A16 (which came in both 4G and 5G versions) featured AMOLED displays and robust 5,000mAh batteries. It’s reasonable to expect similar, if not improved, display quality and long-lasting battery life for the upcoming Galaxy A17 5G.

As more details emerge, the Galaxy A17 5G is shaping up to be an interesting option for consumers seeking a solid, affordable handset with 5G support and potentially enhanced camera capabilities.
