Samsung Bangladesh has unveiled its latest innovation in the local market, the Galaxy A17 5G, a next-generation smartphone integrated with advanced AI features under the Gemini suite.

Among its standout additions is the “Circle to Search” feature, which allows users to simply draw a circle around any object or text on the screen to instantly view relevant search results. Through this tool, users can translate foreign text, identify products, or gather information about locations appearing in photos—all in real time.

The smartphone also comes with other new Gemini AI functionalities such as “Gemini Live,” “Across Apps Action,” and “AI Image Creation.”

Powered by the Exynos 1330 (5nm) 5G processor and a 2.4GHz octa-core CPU, the Galaxy A17 5G offers an enhanced experience for multitasking, gaming, and media consumption. The device promises six operating system upgrades and six years of security updates, ensuring long-term performance and protection.

The Galaxy A17 5G is available in three configurations—6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB—providing generous storage space for apps, photos, and media content. With an IP54 splashproof rating, the device is resistant to light water exposure.

Speaking about the launch, Syed Md. Badrul Arifin, Head of Product and Marcom, MX Division at Samsung Electronics Bangladesh, said, “This smartphone is not only built for the present but also for the future. Our goal is to introduce devices that make everyday tasks effortless for users in Bangladesh, and we believe that through ‘Awesome Intelligence,’ our users will be able to do even more than before.”
