Samsung Galaxy M17 5G

Samsung is one of the few brands that have consistently launched budget smartphones in 2025. We saw multiple smartphones in the Galaxy F, M, and A series in a similar price segment. And now, with the Galaxy M17, the company is trying to consolidate its position in the sub-Rs 15,000 price segment. The latest smartphone from the brand is priced at Rs. 12,499 for the 4GB + 128GB model, Rs. 13,999 for the 6GB + 128GB option, and Rs. 15,499 for the 8GB + 128GB model. That being said, does it make sense to go for this smartphone in this highly competitive market? I got the chance to spend some time with the device, and here's what you need to know.
