Introducing the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy Tab A11+ 5G: Now Available in the US!

After making its debut in the UK and Europe, the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy Tab A11+ 5G are finally making their way to the US market. The Galaxy A17 5G was released in the UK and Europe in August, while the Galaxy Tab A11+ began its rollout in November.

For a while, Samsung’s plans for a US release of these affordable devices remained unclear. However, at the end of 2025, Samsung US announced that the Galaxy A17 5G would be available for purchase in the country starting from January 7, priced at $199.99. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ followed suit on January 8, priced at $249.99. Both devices are now easily accessible for purchase across the US.

What you’re getting

The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G features a 6.7-inch FHD+ 90Hz Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 1330 processor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens.

Our review of the Galaxy A17 5G during its European launch described it as “another good budget Android phone from Samsung.” While it didn’t represent a significant leap forward from its predecessor, the Galaxy A16 5G, it still offers solid performance and features.

Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ offers a familiar experience, described in our review as “business as usual” for Samsung’s budget tablet lineup. It provides a functional and user-friendly option for those on a budget, even if it doesn’t introduce groundbreaking changes.

Key specifications of the Galaxy Tab A11+ include an 11-inch FHD+ LCD display, Quad speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a Mediatek Dimensity 7300 processor, and a 7040mAh battery with 25W charging capabilities.
