[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best phone I've had in a few years and I'm ecstatic that I chose this model! The speed in which it operates, ease of use and the great interface are unmatched for the price!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung A17 is a pretty good phone. It has, but it does have some flaws which are when you have a lot of apps and a lot of memory being used, the phone is slow and sluggish. It takes a long time to pull up articles on the internet. And even as simple as pulling up apps on your phone , there is some lagging when playing games. I also will say the screens are nice but I think you have to have the protection you have to have a shell , outer shell and screen protector because the glass are the screen itself is pretty easy to break if dropped. So overall, I'd give the Galaxy A17.There's always room for improvement where I would start as more storage.\nMore storage for the apps that come readily available on the device. So again , a seventeen three out of five stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose my Galaxy because of the heat features that Samsung offers. You'll always be in the forefront of tech with a Galaxy. I use mine for Sichuan and business mainly. The split screen among other features makes business tasks allot easier.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Samsung, android A17 5g runs slow. I chose to look for another Samsung android and I do like androids because they are easier for me to use. This series though is difficult to navigate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy A17 as an upgrade from my previous galaxy phone (A13). Unfortunately, I am not happy with this phone because, to me, it is definitely under performing the last phone. That's saying a lot because that one came with it's own set of issues, including more apps increasingly no longer working with that phone, so that an upgrade became mandatory. However, this A17 is slow, freezes and glitches (a lot), and on a couple of days (about 2 weeks after I got it), it restarted on its own after I turned the phone on! So, I don't know, I'm only keeping it because it took a lot to get to this one (for me) and I purchased my phone cases by mail before getting the phone to make sure it was protected once gotten. All that said, I'm truly disappointed to have finally upgraded (Samsung Galaxy phones are all my husband I have had the last 20+ years, but aren't fans of "HAVING" to upgrade) and then getting less than what I had prior, honestly... that's very terrible. While, I'm NOT a phone fanatic, I do use it primarily for calls, pictures/videos, and texting, but also the apps. And a lot of interactions with different institutions "require" you to use their app to get/do/complete whatever you're needing! I do hope, God providing, my (and my husbands) next Samsung Galaxy Phones are "REALLY & TRULY" better!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to switch providers so that I could get a samsung phone. I believe their phones are unparalleled as far as functionality and overall quality. I would love to buy the z-flip model. Looks dope!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I selected this phone initially because of the price point. However, it is such an easy phone to use and has such good features that I would gladly buy again! Great product and very durable! User-friendly also!
