But that&#8217;s not absolutely necessary, because for under $230, the Galaxy A17 still offers a 50-megapixel main lens that takes decent photos in good light.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Sure, the images don&#8217;t quite match the cameras found in high-end smartphones in terms of detail and dynamic range. But the color reproduction and sharpness are quite impressive.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Videos can be recorded at a maximum of 1080p and 30fps. The autofocus is a bit sluggish at times, but overall, the image quality is still decent.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">For additional flexibility, there&#8217;s also a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel macro camera. Don&#8217;t expect extreme detail from either of them &#8211; the resolution is simply too low for that. There&#8217;s also no continuous zoom between the different focal lengths, meaning you can only switch manually.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The front camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels and takes pretty decent selfies, although the details can appear a bit patchy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung hasn&#8217;t changed the camera setup compared to either the Galaxy A16 5G or the Galaxy A15 5G.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[73180,73174,73173,4346,73177,268,49829,73175,73188,73185,73172,73187,59,73178,269,73186,262,73182,267,261,73181,73179,270,266,263,129,73171,73176,86,265,264,73183,56,54,55,73184],"class_list":["post-160937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-50-megapixel-camera","tag-5g-smartphone","tag-a17-5g-review","tag-amoled-display","tag-battery-life-galaxy-a17","tag-benchmarks","tag-entry-level-smartphone","tag-exynos-1330","tag-fast-charging-25w","tag-fingerprint-sensor","tag-galaxy-a17-test","tag-gaming-entry-level","tag-gb","tag-gorilla-glass-victus","tag-graphics-card","tag-ip54-protection","tag-laptop","tag-microsd-expansion","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-one-ui-android-15","tag-price-galaxy-a17","tag-processor","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-samsung-galaxy-a17-5g","tag-security-updates-until-2031","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests","tag-ufs-2-2-storage","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wifi-5-performance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
