Samsung Galaxy A17 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A07

Our take

The A17 5G costs more, and for most people it's worth it. You get 5G, an AMOLED screen instead of a 720p LCD, and a main camera with optical stabilization. The A07 is for when the budget really is the limit.

Choose the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G

A cheap phone that still feels decent to use. The AMOLED screen is much nicer to look at, and 5G keeps it useful for longer. Get a version with more than 4 GB of RAM if you can.

Choose the Samsung Galaxy A07

A first phone for a child, a backup, or a phone for someone who only calls and chats. It gets the same six years of updates as the A17 5G, and it has a microSD slot for extra storage.
