What it can film

Samsung Malaysia's spec sheet lists video recording at 1080p and 30 frames per second, with slow motion at 120fps in HD. The spec sheet lists no optical image stabilisation on the rear or front camera, so for walking shots a steady grip or a gimbal will do more of the work. The 4G Galaxy A17's spec sheet does list rear-camera OIS. Samsung's Malaysian spec sheet does not list 4K recording or a log profile. The 13MP front camera has no autofocus, so keep the same distance from it when filming yourself.

Samsung did not say how long the RM899 and RM1,099 store prices will last. The list prices on the same pages are RM999 and RM1,199.
