The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) was part of Samsung's mid-range Galaxy A series, and its power-on sound became familiar to owners who heard it at every reboot. Short startup tones like this were once a standard part of the phone experience, before devices began booting more quietly. Online, the clip has been saved to soundboards and reused in nostalgia collections alongside other classic phone sounds, including the nokia arabic ringstone, as a reminder of a period when ringtones and boot chimes helped define a handset's identity.
About this sound
The short Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 startup chime that plays when the phone powers on, now used for nostalgia edits, tech memes and retro phone jokes.
This is the brief power-on tone from the Samsung Galaxy A5 released in 2017, a clean electronic chime that lasts less than a second. It has a soft rising quality, more like a gentle phone greeting than a loud ringtone, and it ends almost as soon as it begins. Hearing it instantly brings back the feeling of setting up a new device or waiting for the home screen to load. For many listeners the appeal is pure recognition, a small everyday sound that marks a specific era of Android phones.
