While Samsung fans are excited for the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 next week, the South Korean firm hasn't stopped its work on entry-level phones. One such affordable device that could be launched in the next three months is the Galaxy A17 5G, and information about one of its critical aspects has leaked.
An unannounced Samsung smartphone with model number SM-A176B was spotted in Finland's SGS Fimko certification database. The phone also has other variants with model numbers SM-A176B/DS, SM-A176N, SM-A176U, and SM-A176U1. All these variants are of the Galaxy A17 5G. And the document reveals that it has a 4,860mAh (rated capacity) battery, and it could be advertised as a 5,000mAh battery.

This means that Samsung isn't increasing the battery capacity of the Galaxy A17 5G compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy A16 5G. The upcoming phone also features 9V and 2.77A charging (25W), which Samsung calles Super Fast Charging in its marketing.
Based on Samsung's model number pattern, the variants of the certified device features 5G connectivity. The variant with model number SM-A176B/DS even features 5G connectivity. And the phone will be launched in South Korea (SM-A176N) and the USA (SM-A176U and SM-A176U1). Unfortunately, those are the only new things that we came to know about the Galaxy A17 5G so far.
A previous report claims that the smartphone also features a 50MP primary camera with OIS. So, the device may be able to capture more shake-free images and videos. It may also be able to capture images that have more details in low-light conditions. It will likely run Android 15-based One UI 7.0 software out of the box and get six major Android OS updates and security updates for up to six years.

We hope Samsung brings an improvement in the processsing speed with the Galaxy A17 5G. Another criteria that Samsung should look at improving is the display cutout for the front-facing camera. It would be great to see the phone using an Infinity-O screen with a punch-hole-shaped cutout in the display.
The Galaxy A16 5G has an IP54 dust and water resistance rating, and it would be better if Samsung upgrades that to an IP68 rating and equips the phone with stereo speakers. The South Korean firm should also consider bringing the ability to record 4K videos from the front-facing and the rear-facing cameras.
