The Galaxy A17 5G was launched in Nepal last month, and now the company, following tradition, has released the 4G variant for one of the most popular segments in the world. This phone keeps the same Helio G99 chipset as before, which is already showing its age, but it does come with a few subtle upgrades. Now, let’s jump into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Galaxy A17 4G, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
Galaxy A17 4G Overview
Display and Design
The phone packs a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, so visually its almost exact as its predecessor. But Samsung has also added Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection this time. It retains the IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, and the side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the Key Island remains unchanged. The design is slimmer than the A16 4G, coming in at 7.5mm and 190 grams. And compared to the recently released A17 5G, the minor downside, as evident from its naming, is that it lacks 5G connectivity, which you’d obviously only get in the 5G variant.
Performance and Software
Inside, the phone runs on the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. Which, in my opinon is getting old at this point because even phones like the Galaxy A07, a lower-tier model, also feature the same chip. But it’s paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, which is a step up from the A16 4G’s 4GB configuration. The phone boots One UI 7 based on Android 15, and Samsung promises six years of updates. But still, for anyone hoping for a noticeable performance bump over last year’s budget models, it’s nonexistent.
Camera and Battery
The camera setup is identical to the A16 4G: 50MP main camera with OIS, a 5MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro shooter. Up front, there’s a 13MP camera. Video recording is capped at 1080p 30fps. The battery is 5,000mAh with 25W fast charging.

Connectivity and Extras
It has 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and USB Type-C. Samsung also added a few small software touches like the Gemini AI assistant and Circle to Search, though these are subtle and won’t dramatically change daily use.
