Everyone's talking about chip shortages and smartphone price hikes, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. The latest Mint Mobile deal allows you to get a decent Samsung budget smartphone for under $100. The Galaxy A17 5G is $200 off and going for $70 at the carrier right now.

I know what you're thinking. "It's a budget Galaxy A-series phone." That's absolutely true, but at $70, you're getting a proper smartphone, not a knockoff, a copy, or some shady no-brand device. The phone normally costs $270 and sits above the most affordable Galaxy A07 model.
This one comes with some decent specs you might not expect from such a budget phone. The Galaxy A17 5G comes equipped with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display with a refresh rate of 90Hz and a resolution of 1,080 x 2,340 pixels, boasting 800 nits of brightness.
That's pretty good, given the price tag, right? You're getting "only" 128GB of storage, but get this — the phone comes with a feature even Galaxy S-series flagships lack — a microSD card slot. You can expand the storage by up to 2TB. To top it all off, the phone features a big 5,000 mAh battery, which, given the efficient chipset (Exynos 1330), will easily get you through two full days.

You need a plan, but it's more good news

Of course, these carrier deals often require a plan, and this one is no exception. However, Mint Mobile is offering discounts on data plans — you can get every tier from 6GB of monthly data to 17GB plans, 23GB plans, and up to the Unlimited plan, all for $15 per month or $180 per year.
Even if you factor in the plan, the price is lower than the MSRP of the Galaxy A17 5G. It's the perfect opportunity to get a backup phone or a phone for your kid, wife, or elders with an Unlimited plan at a very affordable price.
You can trade your old phone as well
The usual trade-in scheme is available with this deal. Your savings will depend on the exact model you're trading in and the condition it's in. You can check its value using the trade-in calculator on Mint Mobile's website.
Given the budget nature of the Galaxy A17 5G, trading a superior phone is pointless, so this option is viable only if you're giving back an older A-series device. With the Galaxy A17 you can only trade a Galaxy A35 and get around $62 back, making the new phone almost free. The A35 is the better phone, but it's getting old, so it's your call.
The Galaxy A37 is also available at Mint Mobile

$240 off (49%)
T-Mobile's Mint is now selling the Galaxy A37 at an incredibly low price. For a limited time, you can get the mid-range phone for 49% off. On top of that, you can get 12 months of unlimited service for 50% off, making this offer even harder to resist.
If you want something with a bit more oomph, the Galaxy A37 5G is also hugely discounted at Mint Mobile. The same data plan rules apply, and you can get the midranger for $250, which is $240 off its regular price.
The Galaxy A37 is a proper midrange phone with a big 6.7-inch AMOLED display that can go up to a 120Hz refresh rate and boasts 1,900 nits of peak brightness. That display alone is worth the $250 price tag.
Further down the spec sheet, you will find an efficient 4 nm octa-core Exynos 1480 processor, a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 5 MP macro lens. The camera setup is actually the same as the one found on its bigger brother, the Galaxy A57. Don't hesitate too long, as such deals disappear pretty quickly.
Get a free Galaxy A17 with Straight Talk. To claim this deal, you need to pair the phone with activation on a Silver Unlimited Plan or higher. This tier costs $45 per month. Offer valid through 01/10/27 while supplies last online.
