Released by Samsung in 2025 as "cheap" smartphones, the Galaxy A07 e Galaxy A17 5G (It's worth mentioning that the "A17" also comes in a 4G variant.) They share some specifications, but there are differences that can influence which one is best for you. Check out our comparison and find out which one is right for you!
Design
O Galaxy A07 and Galaxy A17 5G These two smartphones are very similar in terms of design. Both have a plastic body, but the Galaxy A17 comes out ahead with its reinforced plastic back. As for layout, they also share the same features: volume and power buttons on the right (with biometric sensor), microphones at the top and bottom, and a USB-C port also at the bottom. The Galaxy A07 also includes the now-forgotten 2mm headphone jack.
On the left side, both have a SIM card tray, compatible with 2 SIM cards. The Galaxy A07 allows the use of both SIM cards and an SD card at the same time. The "A17" makes you choose between a second SIM card or a memory card.
Another visible change in them is their size and weight. Galaxy A07 It is slightly larger, with the following specifications: 16,74 x 7,74 x 0,76 cm versus the Galaxy A17 5GSlightly smaller: 16,44 x 7,79 x 0,75 cm. The weight also changes little, with the "A17" weighing 192g compared to 184g for the simpler model.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that both have protection. IP54KIn other words, in case of accidents involving splashes of water and dust, nothing will happen to them. Regarding colors, the A07 bring the green, violet e black. The A17 It has the colors blue, gray e black.
Fabric
And here we are at one of the biggest differences between these two models. Let's start with what they look like: both have a 90Hz refresh rate and share the same 6,7-inch size.
O Galaxy A17 It comes out ahead here by having a panel. Super AMOLED, guaranteeing vibrant colors, more contrast, and deeper blacks. The Galaxy A07On the other hand, it has a PLS LCD screen. The resolution also changes. The “A17” has a resolution Full HD (1080 x 2340px) and “A07” only HD (720 x 1600px). The most advanced model also offers protection. Gorilla Glass Foods.
The result here is clear: The Galaxy A17 5G It wins hands down. The screen colors are better, and because it has a higher resolution, things look prettier. The maximum brightness here is also better, reaching up to 800 nits, compared to 500 nits on the other model. Galaxy A07Considering all the details, if your goal is to have a nice screen, avoid the A07.
Processor (SoC)
In terms of performance, the Galaxy A17 5G bring the Exynos 1330, curiously the same as Galaxy A16, from the previous year. As for Galaxy A07 comes with the Helio G99 MediatekThe "Exynos" model is more powerful, both because it supports 5G and because it has more practical power.
It became noticeable in everyday use that the Galaxy A17 5G It manages to be more fluid in animations and is also smoother for system operation, such as opening and closing apps, as well as when we are using heavier apps. That's where we see that... Galaxy A07 It's really the model focused on those who need a smartphone only for the basics. However, it's worth mentioning that both perform very well in multitasking, keeping apps open in the background, even when switching between apps like YouTube, Maps e Instagram, for example.
I tested both on Free Fire e Minecraft to see the performance in games. In the first one, it's perfectly playable, it will just require you to appreciate the game with slightly simpler graphics and without the possibility of high frame rates, for example. Minecraft It also ran well, although it suffered from some frame rate drops, so some adjustments were needed to make everything more playable.
And of course, we tested both on the main benchmarks to have some numbers to compare. As always, I used the Geekbench 6 and AnTuTu Benchmark. Check out:

Memory and storage
Both models arrive in Brazil with two options: 128GB / 4GB RAM ou 256GB / 8GB RAMThe Galaxy A17 5G uses standard storage. USF 2.2This ensures faster app installation and file transfer. The Galaxy A07, despite being simpler, still features the latest and most powerful technology.
For testing purposes, I turned both off and then off to calculate the time of bootBoth took 32 seconds to connect. Therefore, we can say that we have a tie in this category.
Audio
O Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy A07 There are some differences between them in this respect. Both bring Dolby Atmos...but with limited use in headphones, since neither has stereo sound output. The main difference here, however, lies in the... Galaxy A07 which also features a 2mm headphone jack. It's up to the user's preference and needs to choose more or fewer options, remembering that it's possible to add an adapter to the more powerful model for use with wired headphones as well.
However, the Galaxy A17 5G It emerges victorious in this regard by delivering a fuller sound with better quality.
System and Apps
Both smartphones run under the interface of Samsung, One UIBoth are already on the latest version, the One UI 8.0, running with the Android 16New features such as Now Bar And other functions arrive here in a simpler way, without all that interaction with Artificial Intelligence.
They are the same in this aspect, and it's worth mentioning that even though the "A17" has an AMOLED screen, nothing... Always on Display It's also worth mentioning that both smartphones come with 6 years of support from [company name]. SamsungIn other words, they must reach the Android 21.
They have some differences in how they use the Gemini also. The Galaxy A17 5G bring the Circle to search which already puts us in a more direct interaction with Google's AI, allowing for screen translation, music searches, or simply voice searches.
In the simpler model, the gesture to activate Gemini is different, placed on the edges of the smartphone, and it simply opens the conventional app, without any system integration. It won't let you down, but it's undeniable that the other model is smarter.
Connectivity and networks
Both smartphones have Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 5.3The “A17” has a slightly more accurate GPS because it's more comprehensive in that regard, but where they really differ are in two things: the “A17” comes with NFC And it can be used to make wireless payments. Another thing that stands out here is that the more expensive model comes with 5G support, which can improve connectivity.
On the other hand, the A07 It focuses on attractive features for those looking for an inexpensive cell phone, such as... FM radio and the P2 input for headphones.
In this case, the Galaxy A17 5G It's the winner in this category because it offers 5G support, has a slightly superior GPS, and an NFC sensor. Its additional features are much more useful for everyday use than those of the cheaper model.
Battery and charging
Both smartphones have a battery of 5.000 mAh with support for 25W wired charging. In the box, both come with a 15W charger, so if you want faster charging, you'll need to invest some extra money.
They also don't have any kind of wireless charging and can easily last a day of use doing a little bit of everything. If you're a more reserved person, you might be able to get two days out of it.
For a full charge, expect around 1 hour and 40 minutes with the 25W charger and about 2 hours with the 15W charger.
Front camera (photo and video)
Neither model has amazing cameras, but the Galaxy A17 5G It delivers a bit more quality. Starting with the selfie, we have a lens here. Wide de 13 SM with an f/2.0 aperture versus the 8MP of Galaxy A07 With the same specifications, the more expensive model offers more detail and a color that better matches reality. The A07 delivers a lower quality result and that "we've waxed our face" look.
Regarding video, it's the same. Both reach up to Full HD at 30 frames per second, but without any kind of technology to improve stabilization or anything similar. Check out some photos:
The A17 performs better here by managing to have a bit more detail and color fidelity.
Rear cameras (photo and video)
Now, with the rear lenses, things are a little different. The main lens is a... Wide Both models have a 50MP camera with an f/1.8 aperture, but they differ in their details. For example, the Galaxy A17 features optical image stabilization (OIS) for videos, making recordings more stable.
Another major difference is that the Galaxy A17 has a lens. UltraWideIt only has 5MP with an f/2.2 aperture and will have a fair amount of noise, but it's a bonus compared to the cheaper model and can make a difference when photographing open and well-lit places. In the dark, it's best not to even open this lens.
Finally, the Galaxy A17 has a 2MP macro lens, and well, I advise you to ignore its existence. In the simpler model, you can see a second lens, and it does exist, but only as an auxiliary lens to help with portrait mode, for example. Check out some photos:
