Samsung is getting ready to expand its budget 5G lineup, and two new phones are almost here. The Galaxy F17 5G and Galaxy M17 5G have now shown up on Geekbench, pointing to an imminent debut.
The listings, spotted by tipster Mohammed Khatri, confirm that both devices are rebranded versions of the Galaxy A17 5G. They run on Samsung’s Exynos 1330, a 5nm octa-core chip paired with 8GB RAM in the test units.
What’s interesting is the difference in scores. The F17 5G managed 975 points single-core and 2,242 multi-core, while the M17 5G came in lower at 762 and 1,596. That gap likely comes down to testing variations — the retail models should perform about the same. The chipset is the same one used in the Galaxy A16 5G, although that model also shipped with MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 in some regions.
Hardware-wise, don’t expect surprises. The F17 and M17 are expected to carry over the A17 5G’s setup: a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 50MP main camera, and 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging. Samsung usually tweaks the back panel design between its budget models, so that’s where you’ll likely see the differences. Both will ship with Android 15 and One UI 7 out of the box, with up to six years of updates promised.
The Galaxy M16 and F16 went on sale in India back in March after the Galaxy A16 debuted in late October 2024. The Galaxy A17 followed in August this year, so the M17 and F17 could also arrive a few weeks earlier than their predecessors.
