Samsung is reportedly planning to launch a new "Galaxy M" series smartphone in India – the Galaxy M17 5G. While the brand is yet to confirm anything, a new leak has given us a fair idea of the phone's launch timeline.
Samsung Galaxy M17 5G India launch could happen as soon as this week
As per tech publication The Mobile Indian, Samsung will reportedly make the Galaxy M17 5G smartphone official in India on October 9, 2025. It will allegedly go on sale during the time of Diwali in India. So, expect it to hit shelves close to October 20, 2025.
Apart from that, no other detail of the smartphone has surfaced so far. It will understandably succeed the Samsung Galaxy M16 5G, which launched in India back in February 2025.

Hence, keeping the details of the Galaxy M16 5G in mind, we can expect the Samsung Galaxy M17 5G to bring the following set of specifications:
- 6.7-inch Full HD+ 90 Hz AMOLED display
- MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor
- Android 15-based One UI 7
- 50 MP main camera, 5 MP ultra-wide and 2 MP macro
- 13 MP selfie camera
- 5,000mAh battery and 25W USB-C charging
That said, do keep in mind that the above-mentioned specs are purely speculative. So, take them with a pinch of salt. As for the phone's price, since the Galaxy M16 5G retailed for Rs 11,499, we can expect a similar price tag for the Galaxy M17 5G. It could very well be one of the best phones under Rs 15,000 in India. We will keep you posted once official details emerge online, so stay tuned.
