Samsung Galaxy F17 5G Launched, Brings 6 Years of Android OS Upgrades

Samsung has announced the launch of the Galaxy F17 5G, the company’s latest smartphone to come with six years of Android OS upgrades and security updates. The new Galaxy F17 5G has the same design as the latest Galaxy A17 5G, but its lower price justifies the compromises, including the lack of a full suite of artificial intelligence features.
