This is the same thing as my A16 5G
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Onemom4
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it for games and internet. I select this as an upgrade but it is still the same as A16 5G. I choose these phones because of the price to be honest.

Horrible phone
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Jaquibk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this phone as an upgrade, but still have to pay monthly for it. It completely froze up on me when I was 4 hours from home in an area I didn't know. Had to take it to a cell phone repair shop who got it working again, but the guy told me to never get A series again because they always have problems, something i was not made privy to before committing to it for 2 years. So, now I have to wait until my next upgrade to get a new phone while paying for one that has a terrible camera - I won't take pictures with it because it distorts my face. I am a Samsung fan overall, and honestly haven't really had any problems before, but this phone sucks.

My Samsung has amazing long lasting battery power
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: JessillennaV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose my model because of the long lasting battery power. The long lasting battery power let's me play games, watch videos longer, and FaceTime family and friends for long periods of time. All those reasons are why I personally love my Samsung.

Fantastic battery and camera for Content creators
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Taula93
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this device because the camera quality and battery life are perfect for streaming videos and managing my content creation work on the go. The picture quality is so good it seems to have been edited so you only have to do half the work.

System UI issues
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Mom2crazyboys
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to purchase the A17 at the beginning of this year excited cause I have previously had the A15 and A16. I read the specs on the device and loved what I saw for the most part. The only problem I have with this device is more times then I can keep up with I receive messages of System UI Not responding, and most recently I have gotten a few System processing not responding. Im not all into the technical ways of fixing phone issues, so these issues that turn into phone crashes can become pretty annoying and aggravating. The storage on the device is nice, the way im able to personalize the device is nice features are convenient for everyday life. Samsung is the easiest to switch between devices when you upgrade thats a major plus when you use Samsung switch app. The durability of their phones with or without using a phone case is amazing, especially with a younger child often using the device. I prefer the Samsung brand over others I've used in the past cost isnt crazy, durability is awesome, features and everyday use definitely makes it worth it.

The camera and the dual app is my favorite feature
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Rocky413
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason why I chose Samsung for my main primary phone brand is because of all the features and the compatibility it has I've been a big fan of the Galaxy Note when it first came out and ever since then I have not left Galaxy I think it's one of the best phones and a compatibility it has with household items like refrigerators security cameras TVs and everything it's like walking into my house and controlling every feature I love it makes me feel like I'm living in a Jetsons world
