Samsung’s A series welcomed a new member, the Galaxy A17 5G , last week in the US with an affordable $199.99 price tag. Samsung is offering an even lower price with $30 off the phone and up to $70 of trade-in credit when you send in an old or broken device.
Samsung is making this low-end Android smartphone cheaper, including extra freebies like subscriptions to SiriusXM streaming and Adobe Lightroom at no additional cost.
Samsung’s A series smartphones are about packing quality specs into affordable devices and the Galaxy A17 5G is no exception. With a price of $199.99, the A17 5G packs an Exynos 1330 chipset with 4GB of RAM , a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a big 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging. It also offers the latest AI software features.
The Galaxy A17 5G also comes with six years of OS and security upgrades guaranteed. With a $200 phone, there will definitely be sacrifices, like the 4GB of RAM and the 128GB of storage. The Galaxy A17 may not be the best fit for heavy data users.
If you’re looking for a cheap 2026 phone with the latest features, then the Galaxy A17 5G is just what you need.

Maintenance Mode is a privacy feature built into Samsung smartphones. It creates a temporary ‘guest’ profile that hides your personal data from view. This allows you to send your phone to a repair center or loan it to a friend without exposing your private information.
This video demonstrates how to turn on and turn off Maintenance Mode in Samsung phones.
This nifty privacy tool is included in all classes of Samsung Galaxy phones, including the low-end Galaxy A07 4G, Galaxy A07 5G , and Galaxy A17 , all the way up to premium flagship models like the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
