Samsung today introduced the LTE version of its Galaxy A17 smartphone in South Korea. The company mainly highlights the phone’s AI features, such as Gemini, Gemini Live, and Circle to Search, as well as 6-year updates.

This launch follows the Galaxy A17 5G’s reveal in August 2025. As Samsung takes it to its home ground, the phone is aimed at elevating user experience by providing decent specs and features at an affordable price.

The new smartphone will be available in three colors: Black, Light Blue, and Gray. Korea’s three leading carriers will offer the device along with Samsung’s unlocked variant at a starting price tag of KRW 319,000.

Galaxy A17 LTE sports a large 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone’s thickness has been reduced to 7.5mm. This bold shift brings it a premium identity that raises its overall appearance.

On the back, it’s equipped with a triple camera setup, which consists of a 50MP primary camera with OIS support. There’s an ultrawide and a macro lens that complete the camera setup and offer decent photography capabilities.

Samsung says OIS on the Galaxy A17 LTE is a game-changer. This technology ensures the photos and videos captured using the primary camera will be free of shakes and light blur, even in low light conditions.

The device weighs 190 grams, and the front side features Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus+. It packs a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging support. You will get an all-day long battery life even with heavy usage.

Samsung is smartly promoting features like Gemini and Gemini Live as AI-powered features. Circle to Search is a pretty useful function that is also installed. It unlocks a whole new experience for everyday searches.

The phone comes with Android 15-based One UI 7 preinstalled. Samsung Wallet is also supported to offer a virtual wallet and digital payments. Six years of updates support will ensure your device keeps getting refreshed with time.
