Consumers can also benefit from easy EMI offers, including up to three months of No-Cost EMI on transactions with select bank cards.

Standout Features: Focus on Camera and AI

The Galaxy M17 5G is positioning itself strongly in the budget segment by bringing features typically reserved for higher-end devices:

• No-Shake Camera with OIS: The device boasts a 50MP primary camera that includes Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), a feature the company highlights as a segment-first in the ₹10,000–₹15,000 price bracket. This ‘No Shake Camera’ aims to capture blur-free photos and videos even under challenging conditions.
• Integrated AI Capabilities: Marking a significant addition to the M1x series, the Galaxy M17 5G features native AI support. This includes Google’s highly popular Circle to Search, which allows users to search for anything on their screen simply by circling it, and Gemini Live, enabling real-time, AI-powered visual conversations.
• Extended Software Support: A major commitment from Samsung is the promise of six major Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates, ensuring the device remains future-proof for a remarkably long period.
