    I have been using the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G every day, and it has been a reliable phone. The battery lasts all day with regular use, including calls, messaging, browsing, streaming, and taking photos. The display is bright and clear, making videos and reading comfortable. The performance is smooth for everyday tasks, and the camera captures good photos in different lighting conditions. I also like the Galaxy AI features, which make everyday tasks more convenient and improve the overall experience. Overall, this is a dependa...

    I have the a17 and it will just shut up in the middle of doing something or on the phone and restart for no apparent reason, the camera is terrible constantly have to restart my phone sometimes it doesn't ring then people are getting a voicemail when they call and it wasn't even my voicemail it was something weird I don't like how it has the UI feature. The charging port works when it feels like it it's hard to hear out of the speaker and it crackles when I'm talking to people on the phone. And my phone is in mint condition...

    Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. The Galaxy A17 5G is designed to make it easy to capture everyday moments while keeping you connected throughout the day. If you notice that your phone shuts down while you're in the middle of a task, this may be due to applications running in the background. Closing these apps can help ensure smoother performance. For the best charging experience, please make sure you're using a Samsung-approved charger for optimal output. Several issues can cause problems with the speaker while on a call or during audio playback. One possibility is that audio may be redirected to an external device. You can perform basic troubleshooting for the speakers by following our recommendations. One potential issue is related to pressure changes. If your phone has recently experienced a significant change in ambient air pressure, the speakers may sound quiet, crackly, or distorted. This is due to the water-resistant features of many Galaxy phones. In most cases, the pressure will equalize over time, but you can speed up the process by temporarily opening the SIM tray. Insert your SIM tool into the small hole in the SIM tray and carefully slide the tray out about halfway. It only takes a moment for the pressure to equalize, so you can close the tray right after. For more tips on improving your phone's speakers, please check out the link provided below. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to our Samsung Support Team. We understand how unexpected restarts can be frustrating, especially when you are using your phone. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us, and thank you for being a Samsung customer.

    A series is the complete with Samsung unique style and layout. A 17 processor is fast, style and design mimics the Samsung Galaxy S Series. Which, have been my favorite (and only version I had purchased until buying my A17. At first I wasn't thrilled about switching to A series. Once Samsung Switch was complete, I dove in. Surprised by ALL the features and esthetics it comes with. Many characteristics of the higher end Samsung Plus/Ultra phones. AI works like perfection with my A 17 Series. I'm able to achieve the same...

    I just love the ease of use with my new Galaxy A17. It has great photo dimensions that display fabulous color reproduction as well as motion real life qualities. The light weight design fits perfect in my purse and allows the ease of watching my favorite movies. I also enjoy the multimedia uses like social media contacts. My color of my hone is pink and I think it is so cute and handy. I never leave home without it. The sound improvements are remarkable. My phone connects to my Bluetooth phone speaker and cradle with the ease of a modern piece of equipment. The sound is beautiful. Thank you Kelly Ray Bou...

    My wife and I chose the A17 because of price and the 128 GB. We have bought several Samsung phones and never had a problem. I can tell you "do not buy this phone" it has been nothing but a headache. Within 2 months we have had charging problems and speaker problems on my phone, so now when I receive a phone call or listen to voice mail I need to put it on speaker phone. I have been given the choice of waiting for parts to become available or send my phone in and be without my phone for 10 days. I have been waiting for parts for over 4 months. Isn't there a law that parts are to be available for several years. STILL WAI...

    I have a galaxy a17 5g and I absolutely love it!! I use it for everything- from tap to pay to reading to social media to staying in touch with my family and friends- this phone does it all. It's so fast, and has so much more memory than other basic model phones. I love how smooth the user interface is, and how easy it is to use. My very favorite thing about it is how I'm able to use different themes in the galaxy store. I have so many of them, because they have paid and free options, and it completely makes my phone feel like mine. I will 100% never switch away from Samsung anything again. You guys have def gaine...

    I personally feel the device has too many features and the AI gets in the way of everything I do not like the AI I wish it did not have AI that includes Gemini, AI., and I don't like the fact that when you go from one screen to another , depending on what you're doing , some things start over and every time you come out of it , it starts over where my old device didn't stay dormant when I went back to it , I was able to start where I left it

    Greetings Dashman1, Thank you for sharing your feedback. The Galaxy A17 5G features a vibrant display, reliable battery life, and useful AI capabilities designed to assist with everyday tasks. We recognize that each user has their own preferences, and it seems that the AI experience and app resume functionality did not meet your expectations. If you prefer, you can deactivate the AI features for a more streamlined experience. To do this, go to Settings and disable the Google Assistant and Gemini features to limit the AI functionalities on your device. To keep your apps running in the background, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to and open the Settings on your phone or tablet. 2. Depending on your device, you may need to swipe and tap on Advanced Features first. 3. Tap Multi Window, and then turn on the switches for "Swipe for Split Screen" or "Swipe for Pop-Up View." Once you've enabled these features, you can use a two-finger swipe from the bottom of the screen to enter split-screen mode. Alternatively, swipe in from either top corner with one finger to open the current app in a pop-up. You can drag the pop-up to the side of the screen to hide it and tap it again to bring it back to the center. Tap the top of the pop-up window for additional options. For more details on managing the Multi Window feature, please refer to the article linked below. Your feedback is important to us and helps us understand how our customers use their devices daily. Thank you for choosing Samsung!

    I chose my Samsung Galaxy A17, because Samsung is a brand that I have a lot of experience with, therefore I trust their products. I have been using various products from Samsung for over 13 years. I especially like that the battery on this particular device can last for up to 3 days when charged at 100%. It has several accessibility functions, making it accessible for all ages. For example parental control and visibility enhancement. I gave my Samsung Galaxy A17 a 5 star rating, because it passes my expectation for a q...
