Robust Build and Display
The Galaxy F17 5G features a large 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, providing vibrant visuals and a fluid user experience. The screen is safeguarded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, a premium glass protection that enhances durability making it the toughest smartphone in its segment.
Measuring just 7.5 mm in thickness, the F17 5G is not just durable but also the slimmest phone in its price range. It carries an IP54 rating, offering protection from dust and water splashes, ideal for everyday use.

For photography, the phone impresses with a 50MP main sensor featuring Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), accompanied by a 5MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro lens. A 13MP front-facing camera housed in a water-drop notch handles selfies and video calls efficiently.
