Samsung Galaxy A17 Appears in French Retail Listings, Hinting Imminent Launch

Samsung is all set to launch a budget device, the Galaxy A17 5G, and the device has leaked multiple times before. Well, it has now started appearing online in the listings of some French retailers.

The Galaxy A17 5G has been listed on a couple of French retailer websites – Boulanger and Mediamarkt. Besides the official images, which resemble the images in promo materials, the listings also reveal all the specifications, leaving nothing to the imagination.

We expected the Galaxy A17 to feature Exynos 1380 from the leaked Geekbench listing, but the retail listings reveal Exynos 1330 instead. The listings also reveal a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 800 nits of peak brightness.

The rear triple camera setup could boast a primary 50 MP wide snapper, a secondary 5 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro. The front camera is said to be a 13 MP unit.

The listings also mention a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging, 128 GB storage and 4 GB RAM in the base variant. Besides, there could be an IP54 rating, and the device could come with One UI 7 based on Android 15 out of the box. Lastly, there could be a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and connectivity-wise, the listing mentions Wi-Fi 5, USB 2.0 and NFC.

The listing also mentions the potential pricing of both the 8 GB + 256 GB variant and the 4 GB + 128 GB variant. The former could cost 229 euros (approximately Rs 23,000), whereas the latter could cost 309 euros (approximately Rs 31,500). The Galaxy A17 listings list three colours – Blue, Gray and Black.

With a massively outdated teardrop notch with thick chin and bezels all around and an "affordable" price tag, it's clear that the Galaxy A17 5G is aimed at emerging markets. We're vastly unaware of its release date, but considering it has already been listed, the launch could be pretty imminent.

Samsung is expected to launch more phones this year, including the Galaxy S25 FE, which could release earlier than expected. Besides, the brand is also expected to unveil the Z TriFold and Project Moohan XR headset, all by the end of this year. The Galaxy S26 series leaks are also already pouring in, with the devices expected to launch in January 2026.
