Our take
The A17 is a step up from the A07s, but you pay for it. You get the Exynos 1330 chip, a 13MP selfie camera and a 6.7-inch 90Hz screen. That aside, it's still an LCD screen with no 5G, a single speaker and 25W charging at around ₦270,000, which is a lot next to Tecno, Infinix and Xiaomi phones at this price.
Pros
- Samsung software and service
- Better selfie camera than the A07s
- IP54 splash protection
Cons
- No 5G
- 90Hz LCD, single speaker
- Expensive for the specs
Buy it if: you want a Samsung and can't stretch to the A-series 5G models.
Skip it if: value for money is your main concern.
