The phone I am using is a work phone, and I like it. My personal phone is also a Samsung, so the menu and interface are familiar to me. I did experience some difficulty during the initial setup, as it required transferring information directly from another phone, which I didn’t actually have available. I couldn’t see a “skip” option anywhere, which was a bit confusing. Other than that, I find the phone to be very good. I really like the camera quality — the colours are extremely rich and vibrant. The display is large and easy to use. Overall, I’m very satisfied. Battery good, as is brand new.

It's made our day to hear that you're happy with your awesome Galaxy A17, Radi! We're sorry to hear that you had a little bit of difficulty with the initial set up due to the data transfer prompt - for future reference, the 'Don't copy' button allows you to skip to the next screen. The 50 MP Camera is superb, delivering vibrant colours and stable videos. The display is crystal clear and super speedy, and the 5,000 mAh battery capacity is humongous! Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review; keep enjoying! ^EW at Samsung Support

I bought this phone on PAYG and was not expecting much as it was cheap (paid £200). First impressions was how up to date the handset is, a large clear display, the camera is the best I have had on a phone. So no more using friends phones to take selfies on a night out. The phone stays connected on both wifi and mobile data. The battery life is really good. I can use it for work all day and not have to recharge. Honestly the best purchase i have made on a phone for a long time. It loads apps up easily and the phone is so easy to navigate.

The phone is very slim - which made it very difficult to hold and us with arthritic fingers, so had to buy a substantial case so I could hold it. As a phone I guess it’s okay - I only bought it because I drowned my previous one - and stayed with a Samsung because I liked my A14 Galaxy. I only use my phone for calls, text messages and Google maps, so I was a bit disappointed that it came with masses of stuff and apps I will never use. Overall, it’s a good phone - the screen is clear and easy to read. The battery life is longer than my previous one. I do wish there was a manual though- I could work through that and get rid of all the stuff I will never use!

Got this today as a replacement for my A25 5g Very pleased with it, if you are not a gamer this is all you need. I was happy to spend more but couldn't quite figure out what I was going to get for three times the cost of this one. You will need an adapter for your wired headphones (USB C to mini stereo socket, I found some folding phones for £3 in a well known cheap shop that didn't deserve to sound any good, but do. The money I saved I'm spending on a genuine real leather case

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G for a little while now, and honestly, it’s been a pleasant surprise. For a budget phone, it feels far more polished than I expected. The first thing that stood out to me was the screen — that big 6.7‑inch AMOLED display is bright, colourful, and genuinely enjoyable to use whether I’m watching videos or just scrolling through apps. Day‑to‑day performance has been smooth and reliable. It handles all the usual stuff — messaging, social media, browsing — without any fuss. The battery life is another strong point. I can easily get through a full day without worrying about charging, which is something I really appreciate. The camera is solid for casual photos, especially in good lighting. It’s not trying to compete with flagship phones, but it definitely gets the job done for everyday snaps. What I like most is how clean and easy the software feels. Samsung’s interface is simple to get used to, and knowing it’ll get long‑term updates gives me confidence that the phone will stay useful for years. Overall, the Galaxy A17 5G is a genuinely great value phone. It’s reliable, looks good, and does everything I need without costing a fortune. If you’re after a dependable everyday device, this one is a strong pick.

I love my new Samsung A17. Lots of new features and many old ones upgraded. The camera is much improved and it holds battery power very well, despite the fact that I use it a great deal. My only disappointment- on the A12 I could for voice to text on emails, messages, WhatsApp etc. If that facility exists on the A17 I have not yet discovered it.

We're disappointed to see that you are facing issues with responsiveness on your A17 5G, Jac. This certainly isn't the experience we would expect from such a high quality model. You can sometimes face issues with touch response due to latency, though with the powerful Octa-Core processor running this device, it is capable of operating at great speed. Please take a look at troubleshooting steps that will address the latency here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-is-my-phone-slowing-down-and-how-can-i-speed-it-up/ If this issue persists, please reach out to our Support Teams, who will be happy to help. We'd also like to gather further information on the issue you are having with setting up your fingerprint, so that we can ensure this issue is resolved.

A typical budget phone,battery runs down quick and phone gets quite hot just doing simple tasks. Great camera and display is nice and vivid. Wish i had bought another OPPO phone to be honest, my last one lasted nearly 5 years with no problems and out performed the A17 by a mile, one big problem is cannot have an app open and go to another at same time as the original app closes,which is useless if trying to enter details from an email you recieved to confirm legitamacy. Connectivity not bad but still prefer Oppo,in fact i would'nt be sorry if i lost this phone so i could get another Oppo.

**Product Review – Samsung Galaxy A17** Despite running only one app, the Galaxy A17 frequently reloads both background and foreground apps, disrupting workflow and degrading user experience. This aggressive memory management or memory leak undermines multitasking and even affects active sessions. Samsung, please address this with a firmware patch or One UI update to improve app retention and usability.

It's the worst phone I've ever used, I bought it for work but I can't use Waze or Google Maps because it freezes, I keep it in the box because it's not accepted for return, I'll probably give it as a gift to someone just to use it for calls because it's no good for anything else, this is the last time I buy something from Samsung.

Thank you Samsung. Fantastic phone in every way. Amazing value for my choice bracket. Only problem that I've had with Samsung phones is the sensitivity of the touch screen itself. In past and occasionally now have to hit it with a sledge hammer to get it to respond to my using it. Could do with a manual to explain new model purchased. I'm beginner and not experienced, self taught with phones. Just a wish that's all. Would gladly pay extra costs myself. Thank you Samsung. I'll always choose you. Five stars 🌟

I was a long term Motorola user, I would guess the last 10 years. The Motorola N30 that I had was starting to show its age, however, at 72vyear old, I wasnt looking forward to switchibg to a new device and struggling to comfortably understand a new type of set up. But my wife made the decision for me and I have no regrets. The Galaxt A17 feels familiar, no great shock when using and navigating around it. Clearly far faster than the motorola (perhaps the age of it was a cobtributing factor), but not taking anything away from Samsung, this phone is a dream. Perfect size without being clumsy, easily understandable menu system. Comfortable in the hand (a bit like the wife), seems reliable, ckear, practicable and supplies all the info I need, (again, just like the wife). Lol. Look, Im no Tech Wizard but I do like value for money and quality. Setup was straightfoward, even for this old codger, The Samsung Galaxy A17 ,though full of the latest tech and wizadry, is practical, understandable and comes with more than enough tech and apps for anyone.

I should say first that my children call me Dr. Samsung! Home is full of Samsung products because I trust Samsung to make beautiful and excellently performing stuff. So, to my new Galaxy A17 5G: it's an upgrade from my previous A14; I like it immediately! It's slim, very fast, very clear screen text and images. The battery is long lasting. It's easy to connect to all the many wifis and other devices we need today. My only criticism concerns the transfer from old phone to this new one. I expected the transfer to be complete, and that all my settings and data would be exactly copied. But not so! I had to spend hours getting everything the way I like it. But, I've done that now. And am happily appreciating A17

While it's great to see that you are enjoying the connectivity, battery life, and display quality of your A17 5G, George, it's a shame that you are facing issues using it. If you are unable to delete emails through your Email app after following all suggestions, we would recommend logging into your account on your email provider's website to see if the issue continues here. If so, it would suggest that the issue lies with your email provider, and we would recommend getting in touch with them for further support. With a 6.7" display, we believe that this phone gives you a vast amount of room to immerse yourself in your phone while still being convenient to carry. We would recommend thoroughly checking the specifications of your chosen model before purchasing, to ensure that it is right for you. Though the size of the keyboard is limited to that of the display, you can adjust it to your preference in Settings > General management > Samsung keyboard settings > Size and transparency. The 50 MP main camera lens on this phone is truly remarkable, and we're sure that with further use, it will blow you away. As for the performance, with the powerful Octa-Core processor running this phone, we wouldn't expect you to have any issues. We just need some further information about what performance issues you are experiencing to provide the most relevant advice, so please reach out to our Support Teams. You can find their contact details and operating hours here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ You have a fantastic phone, and we're here to ensure that it works as it should, so that you can thoroughly enjoy it. ^SK at Samsung Support

At my age a phone basically is just that , a means of contacting my other half or her in an emergency. I upgraded as my other phone was over 5 years old and very slow, The battery life on this handset lasts longer so less time charging, the display is marginally larger than my last one, the speed of the performance is why i upgraded, this is immediate, As for the camera this being another reason i upgraded, its so crisp and the options are for different pictures is off the scale. The transfer of my old phone was really good i just linked both (using my ISP connectivity) together using WIFI and all the files were sent from my old phone across to the new one. overall I'm glad I upgraded, it was about time to do so.

Honestly it was so disappointing. Having had an iPhone for over a decade I finally decided to do the great jump to Android. Samsung was supposed to be easy, reliable and I’d never want to go back. I went through 2 A17 devices in 5 days. They were both faulty. The lag between swapping from app to app was annoying. Who has to wait in 2025 for the phone to catch up and if you moved from one app to one that required to play something it just froze completely and shut itself off. Seriously disappointed in the performance and the phone. I’m back on iPhone

I like the size, design and the fingerprint button placement. The downside of having all the exterior buttons on the same side of the phone is that it gets fiddly whe you are trying to take a screenshot, I was also disappointed that the phone did not have a screen recording capability. This phone was a gift for my birthday, I am very fond of samsung, my previous phone was a Galaxy s9, which is a great phone all round. I personally prefer the Galaxy S series' over the A series'. But this A17 5g is really good for it's price, a definite value for money, the A17 has a bit of lag occasionally whe you are flipping through apps, but that doesn't put me off it. I also love how easy it is to switch from one samsung phone to another it was effortless.

Thank you for the five stars, Jack! It's fantastic to hear that you're impressed by the Galaxy A17 from the online impression. It is just as stunning in real life! And don't worry about software, as this smartphone is raring to go and comes with a promise of six years of major OS updates and security updates, offering a future-ready and super long-lasting software experience. It also supports a MicroSD up to 2TB, which would create more storage space and prevent disruption during heavy usage. In regard to your A14, this takes a MicroSD up to 1TB, which would really help as apps need space to function correctly. Turning off battery saving features will also prevent background apps from being forced to close. We'd also advise checking out the following link, as it contains heaps of helpful advice in regard to app management: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001359/ We hope this is helpful, and if you are looking to treat yourself to the A17 in the future, we know you wouldn't be disappointed! ^EW at Samsung Support

I purchased this phone outright at a cost of £199.00, to discover... - NO charging lead... which needs to be purchased as an optional extra! (unspecified) - the headphone socket cannot be used - without purchasing an adaptor! (unspecified) An insulting example of "selling up." Consequently, I emailed Ms Kirsty Caswell (Senior Customer Services) at the office of Mr Hadrian Baumann, CEO... on 7 December 2025 and AGAIN on 26 February 2026. (Both emails acknowledged.) The result/reply?... NOTHING. "Samsung" - never again!

We are disheartened to hear that the Galaxy A17 has not met your expectations overall, and we appreciate your feedback and comments, as you have already reached out to the relevant department. We fully understand the importance of being able to enjoy your Samsung phone to the fullest, and we would like to reassure you that we are here to help. Starting from the Galaxy S21 Series, chargers are no longer included with our smartphones as part of our efforts to encourage recycling habits, reduce electronic waste and help protect the environment. A USB-C to USB-C cable is still included with your phone, allowing you to charge it with any compatible USB-C charger. More information about this sustainable decision can be found on our Samsung UK website: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-isnt-samsung-including-earphones-and-a-charger-plug-in-the-box/ Many of our newer smartphones also no longer include a 3.5mm headphone socket. This allows more internal space for enhanced components, including larger batteries, while helping keep devices slim and compact. The USB-C port can now be used for both charging and audio, while adapters, USB-C headphones and wireless options also offer added convenience and excellent sound quality. That said, we do appreciate your feedback regarding product information and clarity during the purchasing process, and we will make sure your comments are passed along internally as an area for improvement. In the meantime, our Support Teams remain available to help you get the most out of your device.

We're sorry to see that you aren't enjoying the upgrade to the A17 5G so far. Setting up an app as the default means that all of your messages will be in one place, and you will automatically get notifications from just one app for all of your texts. Feel free to try out both before you make a decision, and remember that you can always change your mind. If you would like to adjust the size of your keyboard, you can do this in Settings > General management Samsung keyboard settings > Size and transparency. This may make it easier for you to select the Space key. As for the adverts, we'd like to know some further information to provide our support. Please reach out to our Support Teams using the contact details on the following link, during the listed operating times: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ You have a great phone, and we're here to ensure that it works as it should, so that you can thoroughly enjoy it. ^SK at Samsung Support

I was impressed by this phone's speed and longer lasting battery, the display was a lot more vivid, albeit a bit slow at times, the connectivity was immaculate since I've never experienced a 5G phone before, but I haven't used the cameras yet.

I am pleased with my Samsung A17 overall it seems fair value for the cost. The only downside so far is the connectivity with my Bluetooth hearing aids. The Bluetooth connection seems very flaky and keeps dropping out all the time if my phone is in my trouser pocket whereas my previous Samsung A13 kept the connection much better. I have to put it in a shirt with a breast pocket to ensure a decent connection to listen to audio books. I don't think the Bluetooth connection is very good Many Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review of your Galaxy A17. We're glad that overall, you are pleased with the phone. However, we're sad to hear that you are having connection issues with your Bluetooth hearing aids. This could be due to the compatibility between the device and hearing aids, and an update may be required for them to resolve this. We would recommend contacting the manufacturers to find this out. In the meantime, here are some steps on our side from our US partners to try to resolve this issue: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01209182 If these do not work, please get back in touch, so we can assist further.

After my S20 died I needed a replacement and as I only have a Sim only deal, the cost of the A17 was ideal for my budget. The battery seems to last forever as I only tend to need to recharge every 2 or 3 days depending on what I've been doing on it. Was easy to navigate around and set up. Performance is pretty good and has a larger display that that of the S20. Only wished that there was a way to completely disable AI as it's not something I would use or want to use.

overall this phone is good. One star short as the screenshot function is utterly dreadful!! either pressing power+vol down, or the wizardly hand-wave across the screen are both dreadful. I previously had a Motorola which took screenshot by pressing the toggle screen 3-line-hotkey and then there was a simple button at teh bottom which said SCREENSHOT - please copy that function, it's really simple and reliable and you don't look a twit (or worse) trying to do it.

A little disappointed, upgraded from an older Samsung model as handset getting slower and battery strarting to charge longer. Got new 5g version, disappointed in speed, no noticeable difference. Even more disappointed with battery performance, even while on charge, struggles to take charge if phone in use with android auto for example, seems better with a new lead purchased but no improvement on older Samsung handset.

I have been somewhat disappointed by my new phone sadly. Been tempted to revert to my Motorolla. I am finding turning on takes a long time compared with previous phone and as for turning off well a nightmare I can't work it out and have to ask AI to do it. The constant use of arrow back to return to previous page is archaic. Why not a finer swipe so much quicker. Don't like the icons showing numbers indicating what waits in the app. Pointless especially on email where one leaves some unread to read at a later date. Why doesn't the phone order apps automatically in alphabet order? Still struggling after a month with so many issues. WiFi being the worst. The phone does not automatically revert to my home Internet access on returning I have to go to settings to do it every time. Hence at the start a big usage of my SIM data!!!! Not the best will get used to it I suppose.

Battery life so far is good, but its only a month being used. Nice and clear display. Camera takes a decent picture. So, all in all no complaints. A big thumbs up 👍

Many thanks for your review, Squatchy! We're so pleased to hear that you're enjoying your Galaxy A17. The large 6.7-inch Full HD+ display is fantastic for watching the football, with vibrant, smooth and clear visuals. Performance is on point thanks to the enhanced processor and the massive 5,000mAh battery. Meanwhile, the Camera with Optical Image Stabilisation has every precious memory covered! We hear you're missing your S22, but we're so glad to know that your A17 is giving you that five star feeling and is serving all of your needs. ^EW at Samsung Support

Thank you for taking the time to review your Galaxy A17. We're sorry to hear that you have lost your photos.

We can resolve any issues you may be having, so please reach out to our friendly Support Teams who are on hand and ready to assist.

The phone is great but I found the whole Samsung ecosphere competing with Google was a bit of a pain. I ended up with duplicate apps like Calendar and Wallet which confused me for a while. I ended up saving stuff in the Samsung Wallet and couldn't work out why I couldn't see them in my Google Wallet which I normally use. The lack of a second SIM slot is also a bit of an inconvenience. Yes, technically it has a second slot but at the expense of the SD card so you can only use a second SIM or an SD card. Personally I would have preferred a straight Android phone without the Samsung bloat and if I had known about the SIM issue I wouldn't have bought it. Performance is good, as is the camera. There is an annoying display lag when transitioning between apps but I think this can be removed in Developer mode (not tried yet). Operating feedback like vibrate and key clicks seem to require quite a bit of configuration but I guess I have yet to discover these within just the month I have had it.

Thanks for taking the time to review your Galaxy A17. We're sorry to hear that you thought you ended up with duplicate apps after linking to Google - this isn't what we'd expect to happen, as the process is designed to be easy and trouble free. However, you will have a Samsung Calendar app and a Google Calendar app, along with a Samsung Wallet app and a Google Wallet app. The apps aren't the same, so they're not duplicates as such, but we definitely can see how this could be confusing. You can remove the apps you don't wish to use from your Home screen by pressing and holding them and then selecting Remove. You can also disable or uninstall them from your phone by going to Settings > Apps > Select the app from the list > Disable or Uninstall. This should really go a long way to helping you not accidentally using the wrong one. It's sad to hear that you were hoping for the capability to use 2 SIM cards along with an SD card, and we really appreciate, welcome and value your feedback on this, as it helps us to understand what you'd like to see going forward. It's brilliant to hear that you're happy with the excellent performance and the enhanced camera system which will capture those precious memories in perfect clarity. In regard to experiencing any issues with lag whilst transitioning through displays, we have the perfect troubleshooting link for you right here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-is-my-phone-slowing-down-and-how-can-i-speed-it-up/ We're really excited for you to explore your phone more over time, and we know you won't be disappointed, as you have a really fantastic and reliable handset! We hope the above information is useful in helping you along the way. ^EW at Samsung Support

We're sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your A17 due to the display jumping and your email app having a black screen, Dawn. We'd love to help. We'd initially recommend performing a soft reset as this can clear any bugs, and you can do this by holding down the Volume Down and Side keys simultaneously for about 10 seconds, or until the phone reboots. Check for available software updates at Settings > Software update > Download and install. As the same issues occurred with your old phone, it's very possible that it's a third-party app that's causing the problems to occur. If the issues continue after performing the soft reset and updating your software, please reach out to our friendly Support Teams, as we can diagnose and pinpoint the issue and help you to troubleshoot or remove any apps that may be causing this to happen. You can find our contact details and opening times here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ We hope this information is helpful. ^EW at Samsung Support

While it's great to see that you are enjoying your A17 5G overall, Michael, it's a shame that you are facing issues. Regarding SmartSwitch, we would always recommend thoroughly checking your data transfer and giving it another try if data hasn't successfully migrated. Please note that it can take some time for large amounts of data to transfer. As for WhatsApp not working via Android Auto, it does sound like this is an app specific issue, rather than one with your phone. Please reach out to WhatsApp support for further guidance. Our Support Teams are always here to help, so if you do need any advice from our side, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can find their contact details and operating hours here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ You have a great phone, and we're here to ensure that you can have a five-star experience. ^SK at Samsung Support

Thank you for taking the time to review your Galaxy A17. We're sad to learn that you're having a slight issue with the touchscreen, but we would love to help and to get that resolved for you. The first thing we'd recommend is to ensure your software is up to date. You can check this at Settings > Software update > Tap Download and install. The following link contains more helpful troubleshooting for this: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-to-do-if-your-galaxy-phones-touch-screen-doesnt-work-properly/ The bubble you describe is likely a Screen Overlay, and it's designed to enable quick access while using other apps. To disable this, go to Settings > Apps > Tap the 3 dots > Special access > Appear on top > Locate the app(s) that use an overlay > Tap the switch next to them to disable the overlay permission. We hope this information is helpful to you. ^EW at Samsung Support

We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing an issue with the battery life on your Galaxy A17. This isn't what we'd expect to hear, as you have a massive 5,000 mAh battery, which should be reliable and long-lasting. We'd love to assist and get your phone working as it should. We recommend performing a soft reset, as this will refresh the system and resolve any glitches. You can perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the Side key and the Volume down key at the same time.

Thank you for taking time to review your A17, Yanni! It is great to see you are liking your new phone, however, we are disheartened to see this experience was let down by the Messages app. The Samsung Messages app is being discontinued, however, this is only relevant in the US. For further updates on the availability of this app head to our News page here: https://news.samsung.com/uk/ We'd recommend checking to see if you have the app disabled by heading to Settings > Apps > Select the app. If it is disabled, please tap Enable and you will be able to use this again. In regard to the headphone jack, to help us improve the design and functionality of our phones, and the forever growing demand for wireless headphones, this was removed.

Many thanks for taking the time to share your review of the Galaxy A17. We're sad to hear that you're experiencing some issues with ads and your battery, but we'd love to help. Adverts generally come from third-party apps, so you will need to disable these permissions. The following link contains lots of helpful instructions for this: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-remove-ads-from-a-galaxy-smartphone/ Third-party websites can also send you adverts. You can ensure that websites do not send you ads by following the steps below: Settings > Apps > Select your browser from the list > Notifications> Toggle off 'Allow notifications'. The battery of a brand new smartphone can seem like it's draining faster than usual, and this is due to users usually activating many applications and setting up different features in the early days. During this time, the frequency of background operation is optimised, and this is part of the setup phase of your new phone. After a few days, your phone’s battery will begin to reach its potential, and you will begin to see the benefits of the huge 5,000 mAh battery capacity within. The following link contains more information about this, along with some handy hints to help you on your way: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-to-do-if-the-battery-of-my-new-phone-seems-to-be-draining-faster/ We hope this information is helpful to you, and if you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly Support Teams.

I bought it new i like the phone but the battery seems to drain quickly which isn't great as I rely on it for my libre sensor app (diabetic device) also it seems to feel very warm when charging.

Though you are enjoying your phone, it's a shame to see that you are facing issues with battery drain on your A17 5G. This phone has an unbelievable 5000 mAh battery, making it incredibly capable of supporting you through the day and more. During the initial usage period, the battery life will be lower than usual, due to the optimisation process. Please check out the following link to find out more about your device's battery: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-to-do-if-the-battery-of-my-new-phone-seems-to-be-draining-faster/ Some heat can be expected when performing heavier tasks, such as charging. Please check out the following link for tips on keeping your phone cool: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-to-do-when-your-phone-heats-up/ If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Team.

all in all a really good phone. My only niggle, which is no fault of Samsung, is getting used to it after 5 yerars of using an Oppo. I'm sure it will be brilliant as I adapt but so far so good,

Pricing is fantastic for what you get on the A17. Moved from iPhone14 to A17 mainly because of the high megapixel camera and price. Just use mobiles for texts etc so A17 is perfect for me.

Check your speaker to ensure it's free of debris and that it isn't covered by your case, if you have one. You may wish to gently clean the speaker grill with a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris. Also, please ensure that your software is up to date by going to Settings > Software update > Tap 'Download and install'.
