[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an old Samsung A model that I'd had for 7 years, and I dropped it for its final time, which meant time for a new phone! Yay! I got the Samsung A17, which has been a perfect phone for me. In the process of setting it up, I've discovered all sorts of features and benefits I didn't realize I had access to, so that has been a nice treat, also. The features have allowed me to import some important data from my old phone that I would have been devastated to lose. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my new phone and would recommend it to anyone who was looking for new phone options. In fact, I have done just that several times.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is wonderful. Its so easy to get setup and use from the beginning to the end. It gives you step by step directions for easy activation and if you still need help they have Grmini the AI that can help even more. There is massive storage for your everyday use. So if you like to take pictures like I do you will have plenty of room to store them. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!

Hey tehre Jdog42, Thank you for your feedback. The Galaxy A17 5G is designed to handle everyday tasks with ease. Keeping your device updated can enhance its responsiveness and navigation over time. If your Galaxy device's touchscreen is frozen or unresponsive, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem with the device itself. The issue could be caused by a faulty app or even cracks in the screen. To improve your device's touch response, consider enabling Touch Sensitivity. To do this, navigate to **Settings**, select **Display**, and turn on the **Touch sensitivity** toggle. You can also optimize your device's performance using the Device Care feature. Just go to **Settings**, tap on **Device care**, and then select **Optimize now**. This will close all running apps and clear out unused memory, making your device easier to use and improving its performance. For additional tips on resolving unresponsiveness, please check the link provided below. Thank you for your review and for being a Samsung customer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy ai isn't as good as say googlws gemeni or is it as fast and bixby has not worked properly on any galaxy device I've ever owned and also this phones processor should be much faster and the security should be much better from factory because it has been easily hacked by the smart switch or the muilticontrol function a few times. So all and all disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful phone for price of it being cheap. Budget more space less lag. It works wonders for my kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Sansung Galaxy A17 5G. I have really enjoyed it. It takes great photos, streaming is fast, rarely any lag whatsoever, really cool new features every time I update, security for my phone and web are excellent, and you really CANNOT beat the price! You don't just get what you paid for, but even better, you get a whole lot more! I'd recommend the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G to everyone. This device overall is really reliable and easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even though I'm behind on technology I still enjoy my phone. I have over 300+ apps and I don't have any problems with loading or storage. Samsung has always had reliable products. Thanks
