Designed to empower users in every moment, these new devices combine essential AI-powered features for productivity and entertainment, strengthened security and privacy upgrades, as well as a sleek, modern design — delivering must-have experiences at accessible price points that help you get more out of every day.

Seamless, integral AI experiences

The new Galaxy A17 offers some fan-favourite features from the Galaxy S Series, furthering Samsung’s vision of democratising the latest AI[2] experiences to more users. This includes the seamless integration of Gemini activation through pressing and holding the side button, as well as Gemini Live[3], a completely voice-activated hands-free experience. Both these features allow users to cue seamless interactions across Samsung, Google or third-party apps like Spotify[4].

Circle to Search[5] with Google is also available on the Galaxy A17 – supporting new ways to access information in the moment – whether it is simply circling on screen, or instantly searching for music playing in one’s surroundings, or through speakers on their device.

Awesome entertainment for all

The Galaxy A17 comes with a 6.7-inch large Super AMOLED display[7], while both models feature an enhanced 90Hz refresh rate and an upgraded application processor (AP)[8] to deliver fast and smooth Galaxy experiences across gaming, video streaming and other multitasking needs.

With the Galaxy A17’s long lasting battery[9] and 25W Fast Charging, users can stay connected throughout the day, enjoying seamless and uninterrupted usage with minimal downtime.

Future-ready reliability

The Galaxy A17 will receive six generations of Android OS upgrades along with six years of security updates, to deliver mobile experiences that are both up-to-date and secure.

Users can also take advantage of Samsung’s best-in-class security and privacy innovations. The Samsung Knox Vault[10] protects personal information in a separate tamper-resistant hardware, for better peace of mind as users go about their digital lives.

In addition, the Galaxy A17 5G is equipped with Theft Protection which allows remote locking of the home screen[11] as well as force biometric authentication[12] to restrict further unauthorised access. Auto Blocker is also available on all the A Series additions, helping owners protect their device and data by preventing the installation of applications from unauthorised sources and helping block malicious activity.

Durable and sleek design

Designed to last, the rear bodies of the Galaxy A17 are assembled with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) which provides a stronger and lighter back cover[13]. In particular, the front cover glass of the Galaxy A17 uses Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®.

Galaxy Tab S10 Lite

The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is built for those who want the flexibility of a tablet without the premium price tag. It combines the essentials of the Galaxy tablet experience into a lightweight, value-packed portable device that’s just as useful for studying as it is for streaming or sketching.

With its 10.9-inch bright display[17] enhanced by Vision Booster, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite adapts to virtually any environment — whether it’s a lecture theatre, a café, or the living room. The in-box S Pen means note-taking, doodling, and multitasking come naturally, while the large 8,000mAh battery[18] and super-fast charging[19] keeps up with long days of school, work or entertainment. Galaxy Tab S10 Lite opens the door to Galaxy’s creative ecosystem at an accessible price point, offering bundled access to apps like Goodnotes[20], Clip Studio Paint[21], LumaFusion[22], and Notion[23]. It’s the perfect fit for students, first-time tablet buyers, or families looking for a versatile device that balances productivity and play.

This integration makes it easier than ever to complete everyday tasks — all with a single button.

Galaxy A17 is designed for people who want a stylish, future-ready device with an affordable price tag — from students looking for a dependable phone for study and entertainment, to young professionals capturing their day-to-day lives. With a 5MP Ultrawide, 50MP Wide, and 2MP triple camera system and enhanced image stabilisation, it’s made for everyday creators who don’t want to miss a moment, even in low light.

Coupled with up to six years of security updates, Knox Vault protection, and IP54 rating,[29] Galaxy A17 proves that essential innovation doesn’t need to come at a flagship price.
