No single overall winner from the verified data
Samsung F36 5G leads on display quality and value for money, while Samsung A17 5G's main advantage is its larger 256GB storage. Battery and camera are tied on the verified scores and specifications, and performance and software support do not have enough verified data for a confident overall call. The phones are also nearly the same price, so the decision comes down to display/value versus storage.
