Samsung is working on the Galaxy A17 4G, appears on Geekbench

Samsung is already working on a new mid-range smartphone to debut called Galaxy A17 4G, as it has surfaced online on Geekbench.
The Korean tech giant will debut the Galaxy A17 as the successor to the Galaxy A16 smartphone. Transparently, the company is actively working on expanding its mid-range Galaxy A lineup; earlier this year, it has already debuted a bunch of smartphones, including Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26.
Reportedly, now the company is looking forward to debuuting one more device under the same family: Galaxy A17 4G. The device has been spotted on the Geekbench listing with the dedicated model number SM-A175F.
According to the listing, Samsung used the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset to power the Galaxy A17 smartphone. Noticeably, the chipset is a two-year-old6nm-based chipset, which includes two 2GHz Cortex-A76 cores and 6 2GHz Cortex-A55 cores, paried with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. The Single-Core of the device scored 730, whereas the Multi-Core scored 1982.

The interesting fact: Samsung tested the Galaxy A17 4G on Android 15-based One UI 7, while its next major OS update, Android 16-based One UI 8, is highly anticipated to debut in July with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 & Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldable phones. By this prospect the Galaxy A17 is supposed to debut by the end of first half of this year.
However, Samsung hasn’t released any official details regarding the existence of the Galaxy A17 4G smartphone yet, it remains to be seen how long the company will take to debut the device.
