Despite everyone raving over the newly announced iPhones this week, there isn’t too much for die-hard Android fans to look forward to in terms of announcements. Despite this, those wanting to upgrade their phone could take advantage of a ‘special offer’ while securing themselves a brand new Samsung Galaxy phone.<\/p>\n

Currently, Argos is offering the Samsung Galaxy A17 4G <\/a>at \u00a3139.99, down from \u00a3169.99, making it significantly cheaper than some of Samsung’s other flagships that can fetch a price tag of well over \u00a31,000. For this low-cost offer<\/a>, users have access to a phone that is equipped with a high-performing Super AMOLED display that can offer bright and clear colours for viewing content.<\/p>\n

It also comes equipped with a 5,000mAh battery <\/a>that should be more than enough for a full day of regular use. It also comes with a variety of features not often seen on cheaper phones, including a fingerprint scanner for better security.<\/p>\n

For more sturdiness, the phone also comes equipped with Gorilla Glass 7<\/a>, which should help to prevent cracks in the event of any accidental drops or bumps. This is paired with a triple rear camera setup, which is more than some of the latest, most expensive iPhones.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, if you want something a little different but still affordable, you could opt for the Google Pixel 10a<\/a>, which has been reduced from \u00a3499 to \u00a3359 on Amazon. This Google Pixel phone comes with guaranteed seven years of updates and a 30-hour battery life.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, if you don’t mind trying an Apple product, you could opt for the iPhone 16e<\/a>, which is available on Amazon for \u00a3499. This stands as one of the more affordable iPhones and comes with 128GB alongside a Super Retina XDR display.<\/p>\n

Currently, the Samsung Galaxy A17 has earned a 4.6-star rating on Argos<\/a>, with one happy shopper writing: “Love this phone, does everything I need for a very reasonable price.” Another added: “Great phone and great camera, love the display and also the battery life<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

A third said: “Love the quick charging after the time my old took. Good display area with quite a few features<\/a>, certainly enough for an older person. The pale blue is a great choice and easy to distinguish from my husband’s when we’re together.”<\/p>\n

A fourth added: “Bought in the sale, first phone for my 11-year-old going to high school<\/a>. Samsung offer good parental support software. Does everything you need out of a phone. Battery seems to last well (one week in) . Easy to connect to headphones”<\/p>\n

A fifth said: “A great phone. Easy to set up and a reasonable price compared to Apple<\/a>!!” A sixth added: “Delighted with my Samsung A17 Battery is excellent. Getting used to not having to charge often and display is very clear. It feels solid and robust.”<\/p>\n

However, one less pleased customer wrote: “This phone should only be used as a backup, as it is slower and less smooth than high-end Samsung models.”<\/p>\n

Another added: “Not liking it very much. still trying to sort the different ringtones for the apps.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Great phone and great camera, love the display and also the battery life.”Nina Crighton and Kieran Isgin Tech…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":767969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[15675,2306,4978,1560,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-767968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-argos","tag-mobile","tag-money-saving-and-offers","tag-samsung","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767968","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=767968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/767969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
