Anyone looking for a smartphone on a budget might want to head to Amazon’s online store this week. The retailer has just launched a new deal on Samsung’s Galaxy A17 which drops the price of this device down to just £139. For that money, you get a smartphone with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display that even features 90Hz technology for speedy scrolling and stutter-free gaming. It’s powered by Samsung’s Exynos 1330 processor, features a huge 5000 mAh battery for all-day use, and even packs a triple-lens camera on its rear.

£139 for this call maker is a very decent deal that’s also available at Argos

However, before you tap the buy button, beware.

Samsung is about to launch its next generation of Galaxy A phones, and they go on sale tomorrow, April 10.

The all-new Galaxy A57 and A37 start from just £399 and both include 6.7-inch displays, massive batteries and a design that is covered in tough glass to help survive life in pockets

The more premium A57 has an improved triple-lens camera, a more pixel-packed screen and a metal finish, which makes it feel more premium in the hand. For anyone eager to embrace AI in their everyday routine, Samsung has packed plenty of smart features into these all-new devices.

Both the Galaxy A37 and A57 support Google’s Circle to Search for quick web lookups, and offer enhanced photo editing tools like Object Eraser, Best Face, and Edit Suggestions – making it easy to fine-tune and share photos with minimal effort.

The phones also introduce improved Voice Transcription within the Voice Recorder app. This new capability allows users to quickly transcribe or translate call recordings and convert voicemail audio into text, making it simpler to revisit key details from meetings, lectures, or conversations.

Samsung is also promising that owners will get long-term support thanks to years of updates and security patches.

Both models will be available on Samsung.com starting April 10. The Galaxy A57 5G costs £529, while the Galaxy A37 5G starts at £399.

Numerous colours are available, including Awesome Lavender, Awesome Charcoal and Awesome Greygreen.
