I bought the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G in January, and unfortunately it's the slowest phone I've ever used. Even with basic usage, the phone lags constantly. Pressing the Home or Back button often takes several seconds to respond, and switching between apps feels slow and frustrating. The phone is fully updated, and I've used less than half of the available storage, so neither of those is the issue. Despite that, the performance has never improved. I expected much better from Samsung. Using this phone every day has been a frustrating experience, and I honestly wish I could return it or have it replaced. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this phone.

I had a Galaxy A8 for 8 years. I loved it, but alas, it stopped working properly. This new A17 i received is so disappointing. The functions are inferior or more difficult. I have to keep looking up how to do simple things, like I can't figure out how to forward a text. It SHOULD be easy. Favourite emoticons don't stay, so you have to go looking every time. I can't even get a different notification sound for my incoming texts vs emails. Contacts don't show you letters so you can skip to the T's for instance. You have to scroll through ALL contacts to get to where you want.. So many little things like this make this phone inferior to my EIGHT year old A8 in my opinion.

It's a horrible phone. Don't buy it. It has no memory and can only do one thing at a time. So if you've got a webpage open and go check your email it has to refresh your webpage every single time. No way I've found to stop it. That makes filling in forms with information on the phone very difficult. It means you can't listen to a book play and check your email. The book will stop playing as soon as you change pages. Also, it times out very quickly when the screen is off. As best as I can tell it's got no memory. My old samsung phone was far better. Also, the speaker is on the bottom. Good luck watching youtube when you're naturally covering the speaker with your finger.

Bought as a replacement for my aged A51. As expected for a budget series phone but seems to bog down unless restarted regularly. Not sure if the connectivity issues I'm having are Carrier or handset, but on Fido and going into Extended coverage, it will frequently not automatically flip over and connect properly causing me to need to manually select a network (even in auto mode). Sometimes even this fails and only way to connect is restarting the handset. Overall decent phone for the price, not using too many heavy duty apps tho. Does heat up during charging, but not excessively. 5G seems to suck the battery down fairly fast tho, so keep a charger or power bank handy.
I recommended this product.

Battery life is awesome last me hours only lost 20% out of a 100% charged battery on an 8 hour work day . Performance is awesome I can run apps like Mistplay and run games to get gift cards overtime also. Camera is a huge upgrade from my last phone also way more clearer and better quality ! Display is great too the phone runs quick and everything is easy to access. Definitely a huge upgrade 👌 I got this phone for free in a way with. Apparently plan for 2 years . I gotta give a thanks to the workers at Staples in my town for the suggestion. It's certainly gonna help me with work in the long run ! My phone was the A17 and I have to say I love this phone .

I am not sure if it is just my phone or what is going on but I find that the phone acts copy when watching videos/reels when the wifi or service area is great. Im also disappointed with the quality of the pictures so far. I was told they would be amazing and they seem grainy and more pixelated. Three camera features have potential of being amazing. I also find that the phone doesn't respond the way that it should when doing different things. Not overly impressed at this point.

Battery does not last very long during continued use only about 1 to 2 hours. Not helpful when using it for I have to plug it in every couple of hours. Seems to lag alo and loose service. Display is sometimes blurry and hard to read Camera focus could be a little better as well. Pictures don't seem very clear at times

Don't buy it. Its eWaste material which is sad coming from Samsung. I bought it as spare phone and even on that role it falls short. It is extremely show making me wait sometimes 10 seconds or more for things to load on screen. I've restarted the phone to factory defaults multiple times for installing just the minimum set of apps I need to minimize the amount of concurrent services it loads on memory, but even with that it feels absurdly slow. Also, it comes with 4GB of RAM, which will not be enough to perform, even the most basic tasks, in a few months down the road. Instead of spending $300 on this piece of eWaste, spend them on a good used/open box phone on eBay. You'd be much better of that way.

Bought about a month ago and I hate it. The ring tones are lame. You changed the charge cord but don't supply a wall plug. How cheap can you get? The phone cost more than it's worth. The phone itself is too big. It's bulky and heavy. Doesn't have the blue light that blinks when I have messages waiting. The only reason I gave one star is because it works. I've always had Galaxy phones but this will be my last one. Sorry I bought this one but too poor to buy another phone or the wall plug. Your corporate greed is disgusting.

I bought my new samsung a week ago and the preformance has been extremely poor. Not only is it laggy and very slow when more then one tab is open, the camera quality is absolutly dreadful, not only at night, but during the day. The phone functions as though it is several years old, glitching even as I type this revew, and often does not shut tabs when i hit the home button. For the price I wasnt expecting anything super advanced but this is beyond disapointing and a complete waste of money. The only redeaming feature is the battery life, but its not much good when the phone itself is useless.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are truly sorry that your new Galaxy A17 isn't delivering the smooth experience you expected. We understand how frustrating it is to deal with lag and camera issues on a brand-new phone, and we want to help you get the performance you deserve. To help resolve the lag and improve your camera, we highly recommend trying these quick, effective troubleshooting steps: Boost Your Memory (RAM Plus): To help with multitasking and running multiple tabs, go to Settings > Device Care > Memory > RAM Plus and set it to the maximum option. This uses your storage as extra virtual memory to prevent lag. Clear Cache & Optimize: Go to Settings > Device Care and tap Optimize Now. This will instantly close heavy background apps and free up system resources. Reduce Shutter Lag: If your camera feels slow or blurry, open the Camera settings (gear icon) and turn off ""Auto HDR."" This reduces processing delay, allowing you to capture sharper photos much faster in both day and night settings. We want to make sure your phone works perfectly for you. If you still experience issues after trying these steps, please connect with us directly at www.samsung.com/ca/support/live-chat-support so we can run a quick remote diagnostic and find a permanent solution for you.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I can completely understand your disappointment. When you purchase a brand-new phone, you expect it to run smoothly and capture clear photos, so experiencing lagging, sluggishness, and typing glitches after just a week is incredibly frustrating. While the Galaxy A17 5G is designed as an efficient everyday device, it should still perform reliably. Since the phone is brand new, it may still be actively learning your usage patterns, which temporarily affects performance. To help boost its speed and clear up the lag, we highly recommend these optimizations: Clear RAM: Go to Settings > Device care and tap Optimise now to close background apps and free up active memory (RAM). Install Updates: Ensure your software is fully updated by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Updates frequently include crucial performance stability and camera patches. Reset Camera Settings: If the camera app is lagging or taking blurry photos, open the Camera app, tap the Settings gear, scroll to the bottom, and tap Reset settings. If these steps do not improve the lagging, we want to help. Please connect with our team directly through our official 24/7 Live Chat or via Email Support so we can run a remote diagnostic check on your device and assist you further.

This is the first and only phone I've bought in the last 10 years. It does what I needed calling and texting. It could use a better instruction manual to help those without experience to install and remove icons and programs as needed. Other than that It's all I personally needed. More experienced users probably will want to move up to a higher model, but for new users it's perfect.

I got this Galaxi A17 5G a month ago and have been so disapointed with my selection. Phone keep stopping app (fitcloudpro) when running in the background even when i have set it up to keep running. When using the Camera my phone become iresponsive to the point that it seams to be frozen. Receiving email, text message takes so long some time. Minimizing the browzer (chrome) and reopening it closed my session. This makes it difficult to login when using 2 stage verification.

I'm not going to lie. I only picked this phone because it was free from my new mobile carrier. I'm using my old S21 Ultra instead because it's far superior in every way. The A17 is hilariously slow and underpowered by comparison. I cant even give it a fair review because I was so underwhelmed by it that I stopped using it after a day.

I bought this phone about a month ago and don't like it as much as the 14. I find battery doesn't last long. I wear a continuous glucose monitor that uses Bluetooth and i have to charge my phone at least twice a day. The app says no signal several times a day, reconnecting it can take hrs. Not sure if it's the phone or the monitor I don't like that I can't change the sound of the notifications for apps Camera quality is great Performance is slow. I often get alerts to restart my phone so it will perform faster

After 6 years, my A11 was short on storage, memory and no longer getting software updates. The A17 5G was still close to $200 at Walmart and I was assured that it would connect with my Oticon hearing aids, which none of the previous Samsung phones would do. After 2 weeks I am very pleased with the A17. The transfer of everything between the old and new phones went mostly well. The Bluetooth connection to hearing aids for streaming audio and phone conversations is wonderful. The fingerprint sensor location works well with a wallet style case. I hope this phone lasts 5 years too.

Bought the A17 5G last week. Great price point for a mid level device. Upgradeable all the way up to Android 22 which I found to be pretty nice. My last Samsung only had 2 OS upgrades and was not exactly the most reliable to be honest. A17 5G has a great size for display. Not too big. Not too small. Nice and clear. Tales great clear pics. Above average connectivity and has a bit better range for finding a signal. Fast switching from wifi to mobile data when auto switching. 128 GB storage so pretty good for me as I dont store a ton of games. Overall great phone for $300 after tax in Canadian dollars. Battery life is above average of course as the phone is still new. I would probably recommend this device to anyone on a budget or otherwise. 5/5 from me.

I like my new phone and is basicly the same phone I had, just the A series but I do not live it. After having it for a few weeks I have been quite disappointed in the speed and performance of this phone. Mainly the slowness of the transitions from app to app and it takes a long time to open any app. It will also suddenly shuts down or stall out when viewing video.

I like the phone, there are just a few things that are a problem with it. When I am watching videos or playing games on it, they will be fine at first but than they start to slow down or the screen will shut off on its own and I would have to figure out how to turn the phone off and back on with out seeing anything on the screen. Every so often the connection would slow down but besides all that, the battery and camera are fine. Pictures are great and clear for me and it hold its charge all day with no problems.

I purchased A17 on Feb 26. I have a lot of trouble with it in regards to turning black all the time and then it takes for ever for me to get the apps up. There was a few apps already downloaded which I did not want. The FACEBOOK was and I already had a facebook so now I cannot hardly ever get into my original facebook as the new one overrides it. I went into COSTCO where I bought and the guywas not interested in helping me at all. Maybe I do not understand the way it works or should work. Not Happy.

The A17 is good if all you need is something not fancy and for doing messages and calls and googling. The performance isn't that great, and feels well under done. On your first bootup and after restarts, it is miserable. Sometimes leving me with 2 minutes to kill while I wait for the notification panel to slide down. Its okay... I guess. Battery is great though, and it's STILL an good device. No good lock support.

Only used this phone for 5 months and it already feels slow. They put too much effort into making the phone look good, as well as adding a useless macro camera + making the phone unnecessarily thin. Only having 4GB RAM as a base configuration feels cheap, and the cameras are only good in daylight, and the performence is one of the worst for a $300 phone. Even basic tasks take forever, there are phone that are the same price but have more value. Save your money

For a lower end model it does what it's supposed, my issue with it is it only has earbuds capability with Bluetooth no headphone jack and SamdeX or whatever it's called doesn't work it as it's not an S Sersies and my S23? didn't realize how small it was going to be, no headphone jack, low memory and not SD compatibility, and am stuck with it as a carrier deal. If I could I'd wipe it but can't do that to either S23 or A176W. W key word, Canadian, bootloader locked.🤑

I got this as a quick replacement for the S23, someone stole it. The response and processing time is noticeably slow. Even the camera lags to open and switch from video to camera to panoramic. The only good thing on this phone is the battery life. The battery can last for 48 hrs on a single charge. The last system upgrade changed to display size of the apps on the home screen, larger. It is relatively easy and simple to connect to other devices and network.

I've had this phone for about two months now and i haven't had any issues with it since I got it. The battery live is awesome and I only have to charge it every couple of days. I have had no issues with speed which has surprised me. The camera takes surprisingly great pics and the displays how's them even better. I haven't even had any issues with connecting to wifi or my network which is great because I use my phone for everything. Thanks Samsung!!

I have had this phone for a couple of months and probably not as savvy as I could be. We are basically talk and text people and this phone is perfect for that. I cant comment on heavy data use or performance under fire. But, for our needs this is a good phone. We didnt expect a Ferrari on a Ford budget so we are happy. As a matter of fact as soon as we can afford it we will be getting another for my wife or when her Moto breaks .

Purchased and activated 14 days ago. Bought for the price point of $220 CAD. After 4 phones bought online discountss failed to work for a few reasons. This cell reliably connected to my data, my network, and is fundamentally sound. Performance gaming is Really Awful though. Did I mention how S L O W this phone is? Sad but true. Coulda been perfect with 4 more G ram. Even the virtual ram gives no noticeable boost.

I have had those phone a few months now, and it's horrible. The AI fails constantly. Stops all phone use for hours at a time. The camera also sucks! Very fuzzy photos. The battery life is not so bad, but that might be due to the fact I can't use it when the AI MESSES UP. The connectivity is not the greatest as well. It takes minutes to load a simple web page most of the time. Whether on data or wifi does not make much difference.

I'm pleased with the performance of the A17-5G. The price, power save and battery performance as well as years of update were key in my purchase. These along with display and camera meet my needs. I miss having a plug in for an old headset but find Bluetooth meets my needs. I also like charging without plugging in but with USB charging, generally I use slow to limit battery wear. Regardless, I use 25-85% charge limits.

Very poor battery performance as was 2 days past the Best Buy Canada period for returns so I'm stuck with a very poor performing phone. Battery issues constantly. Sometimes won't charge, connect to Bluetooth or requires 2-3 charges per day. Very sub-standard equipment

Went from a S-22(got ran over) to A-17. I dont have words for the performance gap. After extensive googling on how to improve performance of the A-17, it's basically a call&text phone. Operation of camera, browser, and apps is jittery and slow. It wil glitch and slow down when viewing what apps are running or trying to change what app you're using. Its 270$ buys you a 15 year step back in equipment capability

I bought this phone a couple months ago and the battery life is very impressive. The phones speed/ performance is so-so, better than expected considering the value of the phone though to be honest. The screen is very nice with a high quality display. The camera could be better. It gets grainy when you zoom in. Again, considering the price of the phone I can't complain. It has very good wifi and phone service.

When clicking on apps like email, text ect.. takes a while before it opens sometimes have to click on it a second time. On browser takes a long time to load up sites.

Phone is what you're promised, battery is long lasting, screen is large and It functions as expected. I just wish it was as snappy as my older S22 but I understand that I purchased this phone outright for less than $300 cad, so it's actually an amazing value. The phone doesn't like doing multiple things at once and YouTube can be laggy, but overall I'm happy.

The samsung A17 is the entry product on the smartphone category and has very good quality/price ratio. The screen is big, the phone is very thin. It almost feels like a premium phone. I was very surprised. Battery life is pretty good for normal use based on maps, pictures, internet banking, and some web surfing. It is a 5G phone with very good connectivity.

Screen is big, probably too big for some people but thats just preference. Battery drains pretty fast which is annoying. Both cameras are bad, not a fan. Hate the chin at the bottom too, looks cheap. Performance is fine for everyday stuff but it does lag sometimes. Design is cool though. For $240 you really cant complain, its a solid budget phone.

I bought this cell phone on July 5/2026. After using it about 40 days, it broke down unexpectedly. On Aug.15/2026, I bought it to Samsung Richmond Centre to have it fixed. I was told the PBA of the phone had been replaced. The phone is so new but it had this problem. I was so disappointed and I wish Samsung could replace this phone.

Bought this for my 12 year old son to see how he will respect it and take care of it before I go all in and get him a more advanced phone. This unit is budget friendly and packs a good punch for his everyday needs right now. I must say I'm very impressed for under $300. Only drawback is lack of wireless charging
I recommended this product.

Extremely slow phone. Terrible, for a Samsung. I had a a06 4g, that stopped charging after 5 months. Couldn't get it fixed and no warranty. Now, I have an a06 5 g, and I can't even get a warranty for it through Samsung?!! Pretty sad, guys. Time to start releasing phones with replaceable batteries, by the way.

I've had my phone A17 for about a week. I had an A13. My old phone would only charge to 85%, the touch screen was very slow or had to be tapped multiple times to work. The new one is doing the same except max charge ie 90% but drains quickly. Don't see much improvement? Haven't tried the camera yet.

Long battery life. Camera works great. Good as any ive seen on other devices. Shows on a crystal clear screen and Performs very well even after the many drops. Its the 3rd one I've had. I lose them too much but this one is cheap to buy outright. No payment bills and service is what I want.

The phone is very sleek and thin. The screen is great and the display very clear. The performance lags sometimes but connectivity for voice and wifi is good. Battery life is OK. For just calling and accessing operational apps the battery life can last days. All in all it is good quality/price.

I bought this mobile device about a month ago as a substitute for a Samsung a05 and compared to the a05 this a17 is more durable and more water resistant which I like.i would recommend if you have the money get something better then this type of one but for 300$ its not too bad of a phone.

I really like this phone. I had a J3 (2018) that just got worn out, and I wanted to stay with Samsung. The A17 was recommended to me, and I am very happy with it. Fast response, lots of room for apps, easy to use. The only reason I didn't give a 5 is the short battery life between charges.

Purchased his phone a month ago I am very disappointed. It is so slow and glitchy. It's probably the worst phone I've had ever. I do not recommend it to anybody I have been trying to upgrade with a lot of problems. I seem to be stuck with this phone. Not happy going to move on.

This A17 was to replace my S9 because I couldn't up grade my bank app. So far everything is working well. I am still learning how to use most features but having a great battery sure helps. Shutting down was a new learning curve but the help offered by Samsung made it easy.

I've owned the phone for only 1 month. Performance is lagging. Issues with system UI. I thought Samsung would be the best make to own but with these issues it's one of the worst I've ever owned. Battery doesn't last as long as it says it should either.
