Samsung has announced the Galaxy A17 5G, a budget-focused smartphone arriving in the U.S. on January 7, 2026. Priced at $199.99, the device features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 1330 processor, and a triple-camera system with optical image stabilization. A central feature of the release is Samsung's commitment to six years of Android OS and security updates, matching the support duration of its premium flagship models.
Nothing has revealed the Nothing Phone 3a Lite, a more affordable variant of its midrange lineup. With modest specs, a simplified design, and limited Glyph lighting, the 3a Lite aims to appeal to budget-conscious users, though its value is questionable next to the CMF Phone 2 Pro.
