A17 5G is an outstanding budget smartphone!
on September 11, 2026
Posted by: Saravanan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its stunning 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display offers rich, vibrant colors and an incredibly smooth 90Hz refresh rate that makes browsing a total joy. Battery life is exceptional, effortlessly lasting all day thanks to the robust 5000mAh capacity. I am incredibly impressed by the 50MP main camera with OIS, which captures remarkably sharp, blur-free photos. Additionally, the sleek 7.5mm ultra-thin design feels very premium in hand, and Samsung’s promise of six years of software updates guarantees fantastic long-term value.

Why i chose the A17 as my first phone i bought
on September 11, 2026
Posted by: ORIXEN2412
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the A17 as my first phone for a couple reasons. The first reason is that it was a samsung, and I wanted to pair it with my Samsung galaxy tab a9+. The second is that of the specs of the phone for its price, the 6.7in Full high definition plus Super AMOLED display, 50MP + 5MP + 2MP rear facing camera's and the 13MP front facing camera. I dont know much on camera spec numders but when I do use the camera's the pictures come good and thats alright in my book for the phone at its price point. The third reason is important for any device an that is storage, the 128GB that the phone comes with is just enough and everything that I use the phone for. The gaming that I do with it, I try to push it to its max with gaming and the samsung s5e8535 processor does really well. The battery life is pretty decent to get me through out the day. And this concludes the reasons on why I chose the samsung galaxy A17 5G as the first phone I bought.

Loving my new phone, major upgrade, Samsung A17
on September 10, 2026
Posted by: Toletalkingaboutit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually have replaced my newest device and decided to go back to Android. I chose to go from my usual selection, back to Android and fell in love with the Samsung A17.
The phone itself has such a nice, large, clear & crisp screen. That's initially what got my attention to this model.
Samsung has always done me right and I absolutely adore my new device! It's been very easy to learn thus far also. Super 👌 TY!

Posted by: EZ2plzhard2hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the A17 because the A26 was out of stock. The usability is familiar yet updated, ample storage, and the camera is pretty good. Overall, I'm pleased with the device.

Gotta love that new phone!
on September 8, 2026
Posted by: OldMan13
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few weeks ago my Moto G overheated and the battery started to expand.
I went to my cell provider for a new phone. I had good luck with the Moto G and have owned two of them.

I chose the Samsung A17 G for my new phone. My wife's phone died about 6 months ago and we chose a Samsung A15. I liked the phone enough to get the Samsung A17 when mine died.
I also own a Samsung Galaxy Tablet and use it daily.
