Timi is a news and deals writer who’s been reporting on technology for over a decade. He loves breaking down complex subjects into easy-to-read pieces that keep you informed. But his recent passion comes from finding the best discounts on the internet on some of the best tech products out right now. <\/p>\n

Samsung is known for making some of the best phones out there. And while its high-end Galaxy S and Z series devices usually see most of the spotlight, its budget phones like the Galaxy A series are also a good choice if you’re not looking to spend a lot of money.<\/p>\n

With that said, we’re now seeing one of Samsung’s latest budget devices get a nice discount, making it even better than it was before. The Galaxy A17 5G made its debut in the US just last month<\/a>, and you can now score the device below its usual retail price. The $30 discount might not seem like much, but its definitely appreciated considering that it brings the price down to just $170. <\/p>\n

Good hardware for the price<\/p>\n

So what are you getting for $170? Well, you’ll be surprised, because this phone packs quite a bit. You get a large 6.7-inch AMOLED screen that features a 90Hz refresh rate. Furthermore, the phone is powered by a Samsung Exynos 1330 processor that’s paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.<\/p>\n

You can also expand the storage up to 2TB using a microSD card. There’s a triple camera setup on the rear, with a 50MP main camera, 5MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro, along with a 13MP front-facing camera. The battery on this phone is actaully quite good thanks to its 5,000mAh battery, and there’s also quick charging up to 25W. <\/p>\n

The phone offers good durability with an IP54 rating, and Samsung promises six major software updates for the phone that should keep it feeling fresh. Overall, not a bad package for the price. There used to be a lot of drawbacks to a budget phone, but things are much more elevated now, making it a good option for those on a tight budget. <\/p>\n
