[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's nothing really special about it, it runs ridiculously slow, and it's always telling me I need to restart. The system UI not responding message is always popping up, and it won't let me do two things at once. I can't Google and talk on the phone at the same time because the phone always freezes. I miss the A32

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've gotten my Samsung A17 5G as a upgrade a week and a half ago after a accident with my old phone. My A17 5G is so much better than my old phone. It faster, visuals are impressive & it's much bigger and sturdier than my old phone. Overall, I'm glad that accident happened, because I've gotten a better phone out of the situation. Feels good to have a better & awesome phone now!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone tends to crash often now with the latest updates but the camera quality is amazing and the battery life is 10/10
