Lynn's A17

Liking the new phone. There are a few things I don't like about it. I seem to have a problem answering the phone. I click on the answer button and it doesn't let me answer. I swipe the answer button and I still can't get to the call. The phone also opens other sites all by itself. Weird.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good value for your money

I bought this phone to replace an S23 I had that wasn't working properly. The S23 is a more powerful phone, but for my uses they are essentially the same. The only downside I've encountered so far with the A17 is that there is often a slight delay when switching between apps or opening an app that I haven't used recently (due to less RAM, I think), but this is a small inconvenience for the cost difference!
Summary: If performance is what you want, this is not the phone for you, but if you want good value for your money and long battery life then the A17 is great choice.

good low budget phone

good low budget phone with a very long battery life. It also has an SD card slot to extend the memory but I haven't tried it yet. The main problem with this phone, is that the camera is VERY SLUGGISH!!! there is at least a 3 second delay between the time you press the button and when it actually snaps the photos. This means that consistently, I have missed EVERY SINGLE PHOTO that I intended to take to capture a moment. It works perfectly fine for posed photos, in the manner of the very olden days of when they used to hold an external flash and make people hold still for a few minutes. it's really really bad. If a camera is not important to you, then I would give this 5/5. The way it actually works, if I had noticed it in the first 15 days, I would have returned this phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pretty good but the camera has a noticeable lag

It works fine for my purposes 90 percent of the time. Great battery life, lasts all day, but the only thing that takes a star off is that the camera has a noticeable delay of 2-3 seconds so if you were trying to catch a moment in time, you will fail every single time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This phone does all I need it to. Is a good size.
Admittedly, I am a basic user.

Très bon produit

Comme le cellulaire était nécessaire pour une personne qui n avait pas besoin de faire des photos de très grandes qualités ce cell est parfait. Impressionnée par la qualité et les options.
I would recommend this to a friend!
