Samsung’s new budget-friendly phone, the Galaxy A17, has just appeared on Geekbench. The Galaxy A16, which came out in October 2024, makes it likely that the new version will launch around the same time. In terms of specifications, it seems the phone might not see a big boost, especially regarding the System on Chip (SoC).
Specifications Overview
The Galaxy A17 (model SM-A176B) is powered by an Exynos 1330 processor, which is the same chip used in the older Galaxy A14. This has been verified due to its two Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.4 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 5.0 GHz, along with an Arm Mali G68 GPU. In the Geekbench 6.4 benchmarks, it achieved scores of 942 for single-core and 2,137 for multi-core performance.
Performance Metrics
The single-core score aligns well with what is expected from the Exynos 1330, while the multi-core score is a bit on the higher side. Moreover, the Galaxy A17 model comes with 6 GB of RAM and is set to launch with Android 15 already installed. Although there isn’t much information on other enhancements, it will be the first phone in its series to include Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for its main camera sensor.
