(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Great phone for the price
I’m very happy with my Samsung Galaxy A17. The phone looks great, works smoothly, and the screen is clear and bright. Battery life is good for everyday use, and the camera quality is also impressive for a phone in this price range. It was easy to set up and transfer my information from my old phone. Overall, a great budget-friendly phone and a good purchase from Best Buy.

A purchase I regret!

I wish I could give this phone a 0 rating, unfortunately this is not possible. This is the worst phone from Samsung I have ever used. Constantly turns off/powers down. When I charge it, the battery drains while charging. So unreliable. I really regret purchasing this phone and would not recommend anyone buys it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love my new phone, just what I needed. I want to thank the young man on the Geek Squad desk who gave me exceptional service. I wish I had his name. He cleared the virus on my old phone and transferred the information from my old phone to my new phone. Thank you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Shouldn’t even be on the market.

I really thought this might be a worthy phone for a decent price. I’m a fool for even considering something cheap would be good. Having an SD card slot is great. 4g of RAM, that I only realized after setting it up, is absolutely pathetic. Lag opening settings. Lag opening anything. Lag. It’s unbelievable. Screw reviews, ask Reddit. “Sheesh, have more patience.” No. Imagine switching from a racehorse, to a snail that just smoked some indica. Need4Speed guys, unless you have some serious patience, don’t get this phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
