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. 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 help make sure that you can thoroughly enjoy it. ^SK at Samsung Support

Got this phone in an emergency as my main phone decided it was not going to work after getting wet in my pocket when pouring down with rain 😲🌧 So I buy this phone, the phone memory is poor ! Especially if you got alot open as in apps, and if you are on phone alot talking or WhatsApp the battery runs out fast! I have to charge this phone 3 times a day !! OK phone for the occasional user, but if your a heavy users of apps or calls , get a different phone or be prepared to keep charging! Plus it's "C" connection for charging, so had to buy new charger and usb to c connection connectors for laptop as standard USB will not work!

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 have been using the Samsung A17 for a few weeks now and overall I think its a great phone at a great price. The screen size is great for watching TV and scrolling. The battery lasts me all day and even allows me to watch quite a bit of TV before needing to recharge it. The camera I feel is really good for someone who doesn't need anything fancy, whilst they are basic they suit someone for everyday usage and those easy holiday snaps. My last phone was from the S range and I was dubious about getting a phone from the more reasonably priced range, but I honestly dont see a difference.

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

It has a large screen, the camera good and i like the style. However this has to be the slowest phone I've ever owned. It takes almost 2 hours charge, it stutters whilst using apps and the battery doesn't last very long despite not being constantly on it. I'm really disappointed overall.

I can’t compare this to any other Samsung phones as this is my first but first impressions are great with ease of use and set up and the camera is a flip one which is an added extra as it will be very useful for my online channel as none of my past phones have had this so an added bonus while filming. For what I need this phone ticks all the right boxes and I managed to find a case for it which an A16 fitted it like a glove so no waiting around for the shops to get the A17 ones in stock. Great phone definitely recommend and very pleased with my purchase

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.

I think the phone is great (from online impression) but I read a review here that state the session managment reset apps and that kill the multitasking I would say that i was expiriance the same issue on Samsung A14 5G after I update to OneUI 7 so the problem is in the software and will be good to have patch and this issue to be resolved also for A14 5G.

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.

Still unable to receive emails on this phone except by going to Virgin site, then manoeuvring through their site. Will not load outlook express. Returned to Tesco with the phone, they could not fix. Also tricky to turn off, need to press volume down and on/off button simultaneously.

I think i prefer the old one!! Messages were easier, it keeps on asking about setting one up as a,default. I don't want the choice.. For some reason it seems to be easier to press a coma rather than a space. Adverts seem to be there more too and more difficult to get rid of.

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.

The battery charges really fast and has a really nice charging status indication on the phone notifications. The phone has excellent applications loaded on to it and is excellent to navigate across and is very pleasant to use.I feel the phone is very stable and is made to be very durable.

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.

Good cheap phone. Photos are acceptable, the cameras don't have all the bells and whistles, but then who uses them. The processor is basic, possibly underpowered, so if you're a power user it's not the phone for you. Then again , if you were, you wouldn't be looking at this phone anyway. Likewise the speakers aren't great for audiophiles, but for general use fine. If you just want a cheapish phone that is good at the basics, this isn't a bad choice.

2 weeks in and I'm happy enough. 5G is still patchy in my are but I got the A17 5G. Transferring my Apps and programmes from my Nokia was easy, though logging in to each one again was tedious! Within a week the phone downloaded Android 16, the latest operating system, without issue. A good phone from a recognised maker, though I have everything set up through Google, and it's trying to get me to now use Samsung Wallet and password saver and so on.

Good quality phone with a clear screen and responsive touch screen features. It charges fairly quickly and seems to hold its charge well. Easy to switch between screens. There is no manual with it, you have to dwnload that online and it is 125 pages! It would be good to have an owners guide that covers the basics, but if you are upgrading your phone you would probably find it easy. (I was moving from an older phone so it was more difficult).

My old Samsung A12 was starting to run slow, so I purchased a replacement A17. In the box is the phone, a USB C charger cable (no plug adapter) and a pin to remove the sim tray. I purchased a case separately. Transferring information from one phone to the other with a googke account was relatively straight forward with one or two "hurdles" The sim tray can either take two sim or a sim and expandable storage (micro SD card). The phone is 4g / 5g compatible. The phone has a 50MP and 12MP Camera, 128GB Storage, 4GB Memory and 5000 mAh Battery that lasts the whole day on what is a heavily used phone. The phone runs android 15 with 6 OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates, so, hopefully I'll get some use out of it as with my old Samsung A12. A good phone for the price that is more than capable of handling all my APPs, work and social stuff.

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.

Needed a new phone and the Samsung Galaxy a17 wholly fits that need. It's easy to use, loads apps fast, and navigating around it's functions is so simple. The display is clear and easy to customise to ones own preference. It charges quickly enough, although the charging cable could be of a better quality. The microphone and speaker are very clear. Overall, this is a fantastic phone for the price! 10/10

I bought this phone recently having upgraded from a very basic Alcatel model. The difference could not be more pronounced. Not only is the screen larger but the clarity is first class. It has so many features that I have not had before but which are too numerous to list. However, as I get numerous nuisance/scam calls the ability to block the caller's number after the end of each such call is a godsend.

This is my first smart phone, been avoiding getting one because I did only want a 'no fuss' phone. A friend recommended this one to me and I could not be happier. It is a really easy phone to use and I got used to it within a day. The whole experience of changing from a simple phone to this one has been a doddle.. Everything about it is really really good. Definately would recomend this one.

This phone does exactly what I need of it without spending too much, I have a tablet for other things, so this is at the right level to complement that. It still provides good performance a decent battery life and nice display. The camera works well and has a number of useful functions.

Slick thin design and a durable premium build that feels great. The high quality camera with stabilizer makes a huge difference for steady videos, and the crystal clear massive display looks wow! It has loud, clear sound, easily gets through the day with enormous battery life, and the fast connectivity keeps everything running smoothly. Played PUBG without any lag. Highly recommended.

My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy A14, so when purchasing the Samsung Galaxy A17 I knew it was from a reputable company? Plus it works in the same. format as my previous phone, But much better. The display screen is slightly bigger which as you get older is great for the eyes. I am very pleased with this phone and would would recommend not just this phone but Samsung as a company.

I had always used Samsung phones until a couple of years ago. I bought an iphone as my niece was adamant they were better phones. I have to say I disagree 100% with her ! I am totally happy with my new Samsung & will definitely not buy any other brand of phone if I need to replace it in the future. My last Samsung still works after almost 10 years, but didn't have 5g capability

Have been using this for three months and found it very reliable and easy to update. Taking photos is easy and I have happy memories stored. The battery lasts for around a day and a half which is ok but I would have appreciated a longer life. Use for banking is secure with face recognition. Organising display is a breeze. Bluetooth to my watch is not always reliable.

I love the fact that this Samsung Galaxy A17 5G is sightly of the same spec as my last phone. I am also happy with the newly updated features, which I am trying to get used to. The thing I have difficulty with is that I am unable always press on the intended key, due to the tip of the finger I use to type hiting the key beside the key I require to press.

It's got a good battery. Does everything you would expect from a smart phone. Things I don't like is it only has one speaker so music playback isn't that good. Also having the front camera in the middle of the top of the screen isn't good. The Bluetooth isn't that stable either. Disconnects from the car and the Alexa and Bluetooth speaker in the house.

I had the A25 previously but unfortunately, it took a swim when it went overboard on a river dinner cruise. I had to buy this as I needed to be up and running quickly and it was the only one in stock that was anywhere near the spec of my previous. It is perfectly usable, but when I'm used to things working quicker, it has taken some getting used to.

Although this phone is considered to be in the 'budget' range, it's actually very good. Apps work seamlessly, 5G connectivity and the battery lasts well before needing recharging. I'm not a heavily phone reliant person, don't watch movies or game online, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a modern inexpensive phone.

I've used Samsung phones for a while and when my S20 died I needed a replacement and quick. This new A model is a perfect replacement. The screen is larger that my old S20, fingerprint button is the on/off button. Camera function is good and the quality of the images are brilliant. All in all this is a great buy for the price.

Bought phone to replace a 3yr phone as the battery life was getting low. New Samsung A17 seems made to a good level of quality. I find it easy to use for my needs as a phone/payment device/camera/music player. The only disappointment is the battery life.
