Sadly, under powered

This poor phone is on the struggle bus. There isn't a single action that is smooth or responsive including just unlocking it. Movement between screens and apps is jerky. Even scrolling down the phone's settings menu can include the occasional hiccup. Whenever I check, it claims to have plenty of memory and storage available. So, not sure what's got it bogged down.
I have an S22 for work. No issues there. Was expecting a similar experience since I don't really need much from the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Got a Samsung

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just upgraded from my Motorola Stylis
to the Samsung A17 5G. Wasn't sure at first because I've never owned a Samsung phone. But everyone i know that has a Samsung phone is very happy with it. Even though it is a lower level phone i decided to make the jump. Generally I don't do a bunch of stuff on my phone, banking, buying, searching. Though I would love to have a S25 or S26 Ultra it might be a bit of overkill with all the features, so the A17 does everything I need it to do and it does it well. But given the opportunity I would definitely get either the S25 or S26 Ultra. The A17 is definitely faster and more efficient than the Moto was and I'm very happy that I made the switch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is seriously impressive! The camera quality is out of this world, and it takes such clear photos. Battery life is fantastic too; I can go all day without needing a charge. The screen is bright and vibrant, making watching videos a real treat. Overall, a really solid purchase that I'm super happy with.
