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.

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!

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.

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.

Took several goes and a large system update to get smart switch to work. I upgraded from an A13 as it had nearly maxed out storage and had got very laggy. This doubles the storage and it is less laggy but not completely instant. The camera seems especially prone to lag. Photo quality is ok but not stellar. It seems to power through the battery a bit faster than the A13 but my usage varies day to day so hard to do a fair test. My biggest dislike is there's no separate SMS app as it's gone over to Google messages which combines all messaging streams - I prefer to check different sources of messages with different frequency as a productivity tool, so I'm really annoyed about this.

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.

This phone is so bad its incredible. I made a switch from i phone to this due to its lower cost and initally i thought it was a steal. Then very quickly i realised how terrible it was. The delayed ui responses, the way screenrecordings work i could go on . I used to tie cans on a string as a kid to talk to my friends and in fairness that was probably better than this phone. Its so frustrating to use that i told my wife that i just leave my phone at home now to avoid having to use it until i get a new one so if you need me just ring the office. My son is growing up with an interest in computers so i showed him this phone to help him understand what poor quality products looks like.

We're sorry to see that you haven't been having a positive experience with the A17 5G due to issues with latency, and different features. This certainly isn't the experience we would expect from such a high quality model. 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, provided by our UK colleagues: 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. You can find their contact details and operating hours here: https://www.samsung.com/ie/support/contact/ Though the screen record option is not available in the Quick Panel, it is possible to use third party apps to replace this function. Our different models have access to different features to set them apart and to appeal to different users. Please be assured that we've come a long way from the can on a string - you have a brilliant phone, and we're here to help make sure that you can thoroughly enjoy it. ^SK at Samsung Support

I purchased the Samsung A17 5G for my wife because she was using an old Diro phone which had limited abilities and she is not technically gifted. She does use a Samsung I pad so the transition to the phone was relatively easy. The phone is easy to use and has large text with 1 tab phone contacts. Having read reviews about this phone battery life being short I can honestly say that it last a long time for the purpose it was purchased for phone calls. I suspect the short battery life may be if the phone is used for extended Internet use but for basic phone use it is fine. The price was also very good for a basic mobile phone. It can be a little slow but it is not a major problem.
I recommended this product.

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.

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.

I purchased this phone as an upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy A12 and it's pretty nice but what I didn't like is that they removed certain features. Specifically the screen recording feature in Game Booster. Apparently the features was removed with UI7 on specific models. It's a huge let down considering you don't get screen recording on the entry level A-series anyways.

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.

Ive had it a week and tbh i'm really disappointed. Its incredibly sluggish . Id return it but know thats a rigmarole given i opened it and am using it but the thought of usimg this for any length of time is not heartening. Even takimg a photo seems sluggish. battery doesnt last very long either. What it IS helping me to think about is how to minimise my phone use but i donr rhink that was my intemtion whem i purchased it .. i wanted a phome i coukd rely on fod general personal use. Would realky like to know if samsung can advise whT i shluld do in this this situation. Ive had the phone 8 days. I would not recommend and have actively discouraged a friend from purchasing this phone due go my experience.

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

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.

Excellent device, I'm happy samsung produce these cheaper alternatives especially for people who may not have or want to spend a ton of money on a phone they do minimal with. I play games with no trouble, it does have 4gb ram (my model anyway) with it being expandable by an extra 4gb but I find the ram extension has no affect on anything. Plenty of storage and even has optical image stabilization. Affordable, practible, reliable and very appealing device. Fyi im very fussy with phones and im certainly please with this one. Keep up the good work Samsung.

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

Tried several shots and many were missed with this A17 5G 4Gb phone, even after turning off the RAM Plus option off, which was suggested that would improve the speed, it did nothing! My A13 5G phone works faster in certain ways versus this A17 5G. Only good thing that they really improved was the One UI version that did do it's updates to v8 Android 16, but the lag of performance, eventho it has been upgraded with Ram chips, did nothing better and rather slowed down the phone! Am NOT recommending this phone and will stick with my A13 5G for now!

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've had this phone for a few months now, and I hate the thing. The screen is useless, confuses an up down swipe for left to right, and when drawing across the screen it opens links when constant pressure is applied. It's slow, takes ages to load apps, or links and the glitches in the touch screen make me want to smash it to pieces. Buy literally any other phone. It baffles me how every Samsung I buy is somehow worse than the last one. Just useless. The camera sucks, the a utocorrect is awful, from the hardware to the OS it's garbage.

Only had the Galaxy A17 5G for a week. My old A15 kept switching itself on while in my pocket, and that became a nuisance because I have hearing aids and the constant sound of the mobile selecting random PIN numbers was driving me crazy. The A17 does not do that as much but hasn't completely eliminated the random switch on. I notice that the mobile seems hotter when in use and that the battery life isn't as long. Neither of these issues worries me greatly. Transferring the data from my A25 was a breeze, and I didn't have any issues with the setting up. Some of the new features will take time to get used to, but they all appear to be an improvement on the A15. Haven't tried the camera yet but I fancy that it will meet my expectations Generally happy so far..

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 purchased this phone late 2025, its basically ok and does what I need mostly. There's more apps etc than my previous A12 (which I prefer), most of no use to me. The worsed thing I noticed is using SMS and my reason for 3 stars only. Specifically deleted messages are deleted permanently even if a message is stared. Archives are no real value as any new conversation attaches to previous messages. My previous A12 was more efficient and user friendly in this way. Stared messages were locked until a second prompt prior deletions. This made it easier to delete chit chat messages and save key information from contacts. Overall the A17 seems big on many features and apps of no use or value and lacking a basic every day ease of use to lock and save messages daily.

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 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

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 got this phone included in my optus phone plan. It is the worst phone I have ever used. I went from a samsung galaxy a73 that I have had for 4 years, the only reason I changed phones (temporary) was because the Bluetooth is no longer functioning. The Samsung a17 cannot handle switching apps, higher powered apps like pokemon go and it gps could not get accurate. The phone is also the slowest running phone I have ever used in my life. I have switch back to my old phone till I can justify a new phone again

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

Overall the design is sleek and perfect for everyday users maybe not for heavy gaming!

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.

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.

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.🤑

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.

I have switched back to Samsung after many years i stopped using Samsung because I didn't not like the TouchWiz interface finding out the Now use one UI I find this Samsung a17 quite easy to use very easy to modify to my own needs one thing I would say that goes against this phone is it's battery and has to be charged quite often during the day the phone also overheats which is frustrating to say the least overall I would say I'd give this phone a solid 8 Out of 10

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.

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!!

A basic phone. The Voice Control in Camera Shooting Methods is absent, despite being available on overseas models. The calendar is Samsung's standard, but this model has a glitch: despite deselecting US and UK holiday calendars, it keeps resetting to include these. Also problems with inconsistent phone volume, and frequent signal dropout. I've had Samsung phones for years and been happy with them, but this model is not up to their usual standard.

Not up to the mark as expected. Slow and charge not lasting long. Samsung really degrades its quality and standard also by removing dedicated SD card slot and moving to hybrid slot. Cloud storage is not sufficient for researchers/students - who move their all research documents/clips/recordings (1TB) with their phone with dual SIMs (for different timezones). Please think and start again dedicated SD slot with Dual SIM, and improve quality.

I bought this phone 2 months ago. I think the battery life of the phone is little bit of short. But the camera quality is the best.my previous phone is samsungj7. Now a 17 is very easy to use. But I think it's display may be more long about 6.8 or 6.9 inches. The performance of the phone is so good but I expect more than that. Now this phone support 4g but it is quite speedy than my previous phone overall I'm thik it is the best phone

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 .

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.

The battery works well and the phone is a good mid range economical device that should you decide to gwt it could help you save money in the bigger picture whilst still accomplishing most goals the display is decent too the camera is more than adaquate superb and the performance is value for the dollar after 10 months use the data network is not syncing the best but i suspect i may need to get new sim card or just re initialize

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.

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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not bad for the price. Could be improved. The cameras are good. Thebattery can drain fast but is still very good for the price. The display is good. The performance is not bad can be a bit laggy when loading. And the durability is actually really good for the price. The only thing I wish is the fingerprint recognition was a bit more accurate. Overall its not a bad phone for the price. Still with room for improvement!

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.

After having an S5, S8 and finally an S20FE, but now with limited funds, I picked up the A15 (5G). It may only have 256GB internal storage, but with an SD card slot and access to the Cloud, it shouldn't be an issue. The UI and features are excellent (as expected from Samsung) as are the overall size and weight. All in all, performance, battery, size - the A17 5G is an excellent, perfectly usable smart phone.

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.

The designing of a mobile is great. But it doesn't have the galaxy ai features like awesomeintelligence. Also you could have used snapdragon processor instead of octa core because usage of this may lag mobile after a year but still mine is 8gb and 256gb, lets see . But the mobile is amazing because it's samsung as samsung has its own aura , only the users know it😎. Mobile feels like touching a soft cloth 😃

**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.

I upgraded from my Glaxay A15 to the A17. And I miss my old phone, firstly, the A15 has a better battery, larger ram, runs faster. And doesn't take 20 years to load a youtube video or a google search. I have to regularly restart apps or my phone entirely to get it to work. And 2 entirely GB of ram for a phone 2 generations of phones better than the A15. The only difference is the camera is better

The display is of excellent quality as is the camera.So far the phone has performed in a first class manner and the battery has a more than decent lifespan.The device has 5g connection and I am more than happy with my purchase.

At first I didn't think I could find any at this price point and was actually surprised to find the Galaxy A17 5G, so affordable. I just wanted a 5G phone, Android Auto capable with enough built-in RAM and ROM memory to satisfy my needs. It is fast enough and does everything well. Thank you Samsung...

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.

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 got this phone about a month ago and is the slowest Samsung I have ever owned. Connection to android auto is slow minutes long or in a few circumstances doesn't connect at all. 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. I would not recommend this phone.

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.

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.

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.

I had high hopes for this phone but I was disappointed. I bought a Chinese off brand phone for the same price point and I ended up swapping it out for this one. Little did I know this phone would be so much worse. I don't think I've ever seen system ui not responding more in my entire life. This is a disgrace when it comes the the A series for Samsung.

Excellent value A17 5G, i easily get 2 days battery life with good connectivity and call quality. The cameras give me quality pics which satisfy me, the large screen is pleasing to my eye with sharp easy to read numbers and lettering. Snappy performance makes this phone an excellent value for the money with 6 years of software and security updates.

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.

It is a nightmare. Will not uninstall unwanted apps. and keeps pinging all the time as one Recovery app is always asking to continue and never completing it's function. That and other apps will not uninstall. I have had to turn the sound off for peace. It has made the phone unusable for it's main purpose of receiving messages and phone calls.

I'm always sceptical on tablets and most lag quite a bit after a little use, camera sucks, the battery is ok, connection is so-so, and the display is meh. Luckily, with this tablet none of that is the, 5 Stars to this tablet, sharp screen, the performance is amazing, battery last a long time and the camera is a bit better then the prev model.

My phone ... the previous version ..was stolen. It was in my handbag. Communication to block the phone was very good and prompt, and very helpful for ordering this one. What is the greatest relief is that all my pictures and data were saved. I was glad to see the on line apps that I use regularly. A very nice phone. Thank you for your help.

Bought about a month ago, Its great for what it is being a reasonably cheap 5g phone, can be a little slow if your into needing fast gaming or internet scrolling but for the average person who wants a phone that can everything, has a excellent camera, looks good and is a fair price, then I highly recommend it, im more then happy with mine.

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.

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.

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. It's not much better than my old phone despite changing battery settings.

Nice and comfortable phone to hold in your hand. Love the big screen on the phone for when I'm watching Liverpool Fc. Performance is good. But I do miss my s22. 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 👍

Very disappointed so far. Had the A16 which was fine. Really struggling to get this one working properly. Still can’t get messages between the sleep time, which is pre-set. I keep going in to cancel it, but it doesn’t make any difference. Also can’t download a ringtone or message tone, other then the useless preset ones.

I have had this phone for a month now, I hardly use it and have to charge every day even on battery save mode. Screen freezes and I have close everything and restart, Google wants to know everything. If i knew it was mostly a Google cell I wouldnt have bought it. I guess I can use it for leveling a table at a restaurant

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

It glitches and takes forever to load stuff. Feel like it heats up alot and runs slow . Camera is not the greatest I have had other phones where higher price point so maybe that is why. I think I will go for a older higher end phone next time . I wish they would bring back the hwawi phones again they were the best

I bought this A17 about 2 months ago now and I love it. Sure it doesn't do high quality gaming but that's fine , I didn't expect it do everything. The camera on this thing seems really clear as well, every photo so far looks so good. I'm new to Samsung so I'm still figuring this out but I know this phone is awesome!

My A17 is simply a great value smartphone by Samsung. It does everything required at an affordable price, lightweight and aesthetically comfortable in your pocket not to mention it's easy functional system synonymous with the Samsung smartphones. A good choice for my budget an impressive model recommended.

It's been almost a month since I bought this phone. The phone is good but there are two major issues with the phone, one is the battery drains very quickly even when you are not using the phone and second the phone gets very hot even when using normal social media. I advise people not to buy this phone.

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.

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.

I bought this mobile a month ago The worst Samsung experience I’ve ever had. The A17 5g is incredibly slow in responsiveness, freezes frequently, and requires a restart every couple of days. Overall performance is frustrating and unreliable. I strongly recommend discontinue the Samsung A17 5g.

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.
