Samsung has two new inexpensive mobile devices Abot in the US market next month. The Galaxy A17 5G starts at $199 and will be available on January 7. Coming on January 8, the Galaxy Tab A11+ will sell for $250.

The Galaxy A17 5G has a 6.7″ FHD+ Super AMOLED display and is powered by the same Exynos 1330 chip found in the Galaxy A16 5G. The photography setup is also unchanged from last year’s model, with a 50MP main camera, 5MP ultrawide, 2MP macro and 13MP lenses with 4GB of RAM and based selfie lenses. Upgraded to up to 2TB of additional storage via of microSD. Its 5,000mAh battery also supports fast charging, a feature that we happy to see has become more of an industry standard this year. In fact, it’s more of the same from Samsung, but this product line has a solid legacy of decent smartphones that won’t break the bank. Don’t be surprised if it is included in our lineup of best budget android phones will arrive in 2026.

Another new entry-level device is the Galaxy Tab A11+, which has an 11-inch LCD display. The rear camera is 8MP and the front is 5MP. It has an option for 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage, or for 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Like the Galaxy A17 5G, the tablet can also be juiced up with additional microSD storage. Performance-wise, you’ll top out at 15 hours of video playback on the battery, but fast charging is also supported here. There are plenty of swankier tablets on the market these days, but if you’re looking for a bare-bones option, this Samsung offering is a solid consideration.
