Upgrade.? Hmmm.. Sorry Long Review..
on August 3, 2026
Posted by: VICELI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I broke my A25 last year while working so I needed something fast. I count on my phone for work, it's a must have. So I grabbed an A16 it was affordable and something I was familiar with. I finally decided to upgrade again and I wanted the S series, but instead I Chose the A17 because again affordable and it was brand new. Honestly I'm not a fan of it, maybe i'm just not tech savvy or something I did or didnt do with the phone. Weirdly I seemed to have alot of trouble with my wifi after I had gotten the A17. It froze and glitched all the time. System UI 85% of the time wasn't responding I couldnt even open my phone or do anything but i could see calls. The picture quality while watching camera footage or videos also not great. So what did I do? Well I preferred the A16 better so I factory reset it after 3 months of using it and gave it away for free. Don't worry. I told them the issues I had with it first. The A17 in my opinion it worse than the Samsung TV I had to take back to Sears every week because the picture on it kept going out. Samsung your still #1 in my book though... your stuck with me. Lol.

Good day VICELI,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy A17 5G. The Galaxy A17 5G features a crisp display, impressive Dolby Atmos audio, and useful AI-enhanced functionalities.

1. Open the **Settings** app. 2. Tap on **General Management**. 3. Select **Reset** and then choose **Reset Network Settings**. 4. Tap **Reset Settings**. If you have a PIN or password set, you will be prompted to enter it. 5. Finally, tap **Reset**.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung A17 5G because I needed a replacement for my A16 5G, and I didn't want to replacement my wallet phone case. While good on its own, I still came to the same problems that I had with the A16, which was choppy streaming, choppy data quality, and unnecessary overheating at certain times of the day. I'm afraid that the battery will sputter out before I get a good, long use in. So in conclusion, I chose the A17 5G as a good communication device, but when it comes to all-around Internet use, it's rather choppy, and the battery loves to overheat at the most inopportune times.

Hey there Arby1987,
Thank you for sharing your Galaxy story with us and explaining why you chose the Galaxy A17 5G as your daily driver. The Galaxy A17 5G is equipped with all the essentials to help you get through your day, including a great Super AMOLED display, a 5000mAh battery, and enhanced AI features to keep you organized.
Regarding your phone overheating at certain times, does this typically happen when using GPS or Bluetooth-enabled apps? It’s common for phones to warm up when running resource-intensive applications, especially those that use location services and Bluetooth. If possible, we recommend closing all background apps while using these more demanding apps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like this model has a lot of glitches !! It freezes and constantly needs restarted because it says it's running slow. But it doesn't help!! It lags terribly... Maybe just a bad phone and not the whole model.

Hello Jamiep1980,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your Galaxy A17 5G. If your device keeps crashing regardless of which app you are using, please proceed to the last section about performing a factory reset. However, if the crashes only occur with a specific app, you may not need to reset your device.
There are several potential causes for frequent app crashes on your Samsung Galaxy device, and the steps below will help you troubleshoot them. Before taking further action, please update your device's software, as this may resolve the issue:
1. From the Home screen, touch **Apps**. 2. Touch **Settings** (you may need to swipe left or right to find it). 3. Touch **About device**. 4. Touch **Software update**. 5. Touch **Update**.
If you haven't restarted your device in over a day, please do so now. The app may be crashing due to a memory glitch, and turning your device off and on again can often resolve this issue. If the problem persists, follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, touch **Apps**. 2. Touch **Manage Applications** (you may need to swipe left or right to locate it). 3. Select the application that keeps crashing. 4. Touch **Clear Data** and then **Clear Cache**.
Another possible reason for the app crashes could be a lack of memory. The unstable app may not have enough memory to function properly. Consider uninstalling any unused or infrequently used apps, and/or deleting some media files to free up internal memory.
If the source of the behavior cannot be identified, it may be necessary to perform a factory data reset to resolve the issue. You can reset your device by going to **Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset** (or **Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset**). Please note that performing a factory reset will erase all applications and saved data, including your Google account settings, so make sure to back up your device beforehand.
If you continue to experience frequent app crashes after following these steps, your device may have a hardware fault that requires professional attention. Please reach out to Samsung Support to further assist.
To learn more, please check out our online guide on how to keep your device performing well, linked below.
Thank you for your feedback on your Galaxy A17 5G, and thank you for choosing Samsung.
