Absolute let down on Processor
on September 18, 2026

It's not a good phone. I bought it from Best buy Metrotown. The phone is too slow and hangs at every instant. It looks good on the external . But what good a phone would be if it can't even handle basic functions properly. I don't even have anything on the memory still it hangs for a brand new 128GB to do this, I will never buy Samsung again. I bought for 381$ , other cheaper phones provide good processing speed . Please don't buy this. You will regret it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This phone is a piece of crap

This phone was meant to replace my refurbished Google pixel 3A which was having errors, lagging and slow, dropping calls, and had a really small battery life. Well turns out the only improvement with this phone is that it doesn't drop my calls. It's slow. The battery is already suddenly dying within 12 hours like it's ancient. This is a piece of crap. You get what you pay for I guess.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Bought this phone as a minimum upgrade from the A15 5G. Nice and easy swap with everything copying over nicely. Two minor 'niggles' though....SIM/SD tray is a different size so had to physically move the two cards, couldn't just swap the tray from the A15 to the A17. Other 'niggle' and I wonder if this is a Samsung thing....new phone seems to mean new ringtones and notification sounds and 'old' ones don't seem to exist anymore. Having said that I would certainly buy the phone again,
I would recommend this to a friend!
