Expertise:Intermediate
This is the slowest phone ever. Why can't we get it with 256 mb of ram.the international model has 256mb of ram.Samsung advertised this phone as the best thing since sliced bread but it ain't worth the package it comes in,wish I would of never bought this phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: Nottheone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I guess I'm spoiled..i had a GS20 for many years. Using this A17 5G... it's totally not what I'm used to. This phone lags a lot.. response time is very slow. Downloads take forever. I'm a loyal fan of Samsung, just not at all happy with this A17.

A17 SERIES PHONE - RUNS SLOW COMPARED 2 "S" SERIES
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: InTheMix
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello,
I received a replacement A17 phone. When copying / transferring my information from my previous A16 phone, everything did transfer over, all of the apps, etc. The problem is, when you go to each app you need to remember the user name and password. Also, any history that I had in those app's is lost and it is as if you are starting from scratch. Prior to my A16 phone, I did have an S20 phone. Both the A16 and A17 run or process much slower than the S20, especially when the A series phones are connected to android auto. I have only used galaxy AI a handful of times for very minor tasks and the outcomes were good.

Hello InTheMix,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy A17 5G. We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on how everything has been going so far. The Galaxy A17 5G offers reliable battery life, AI tools, and a vibrant display for everyday use.
We understand that transitioning from the A16 and S20 may require you to sign into your apps again.

We recognize that switching devices and re-entering your app details can be time-consuming, and we value your comments regarding app history and overall performance compared to the S Series. Your feedback is important as we strive to improve the user experience.
Thank you for choosing Samsung.

Great phone except for camera
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: TeleDan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a new galaxy A series phone. The Wi-Fi is really good,?it’s just the camera that is lacking. If the camera isn’t all that important to you, then don’t spend the thousand s for a fancy camera. You can then upgrade every year when the new models come out!
