But that&#8217;s not absolutely necessary, because for under $230, the Galaxy A17 still offers a 50-megapixel main lens that takes decent photos in good light.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Sure, the images don&#8217;t quite match the cameras found in high-end smartphones in terms of detail and dynamic range. But the color reproduction and sharpness are quite impressive.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Videos can be recorded at a maximum of 1080p and 30fps. The autofocus is a bit sluggish at times, but overall, the image quality is still decent.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">For additional flexibility, there&#8217;s also a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel macro camera. Don&#8217;t expect extreme detail from either of them &#8211; the resolution is simply too low for that. There&#8217;s also no continuous zoom between the different focal lengths, meaning you can only switch manually.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The front camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels and takes pretty decent selfies, although the details can appear a bit patchy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung hasn&#8217;t changed the camera setup compared to either the Galaxy A16 5G or the Galaxy A15 5G.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":452101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[152006,152000,151999,76226,152003,17467,133509,152001,152014,152011,151998,152013,152004,86527,152012,24876,152008,86526,24877,152007,152005,86528,14998,6080,6082,151997,152002,53,32504,32438,152009,16,15,152010],"class_list":{"0":"post-452100","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-50-megapixel-camera","9":"tag-5g-smartphone","10":"tag-a17-5g-review","11":"tag-amoled-display","12":"tag-battery-life-galaxy-a17","13":"tag-benchmarks","14":"tag-entry-level-smartphone","15":"tag-exynos-1330","16":"tag-fast-charging-25w","17":"tag-fingerprint-sensor","18":"tag-galaxy-a17-test","19":"tag-gaming-entry-level","20":"tag-gorilla-glass-victus","21":"tag-graphics-card","22":"tag-ip54-protection","23":"tag-laptop","24":"tag-microsd-expansion","25":"tag-netbook","26":"tag-notebook","27":"tag-one-ui-android-15","28":"tag-price-galaxy-a17","29":"tag-processor","30":"tag-reports","31":"tag-review","32":"tag-reviews","33":"tag-samsung-galaxy-a17-5g","34":"tag-security-updates-until-2031","35":"tag-technology","36":"tag-test","37":"tag-tests","38":"tag-ufs-2-2-storage","39":"tag-uk","40":"tag-united-kingdom","41":"tag-wifi-5-performance"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=452100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
