[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy A17 5G is very slow, I dont know if its based off my experience with my Galaxy S24 Ultra but the phone takes a few seconds to load a single app. Tapping on items and waiting for them to load takes forever. About to buy a galaxy S25 Edge to replace it. Buy Galaxy S and Z series phones if you want proper specs and speed on your devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My samsung a17 5g is used as a all round work horse, i is it for gaming and streaming one feature i have found lacking on the a17 is yhe OLED LCD screen is prone to cracking as a mid teir device this is not good when motorola puts out its competitive device such as moto g play where their glass is more durable and a way to screen record for those whom uploads to twitch and youtube. But over all great device for the price i would recommend samsung to anyone. I cannot wait to see what the next a series has instore
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically use my device as a all around work horse i do game and try to do stream my gamr play on it i do stream some streaming services on it. One problem i would have to say is the glass on the lcd is lacking it breaks too easy even to most mid tier devices such as the moto g 2025 and the 2026. Wich would be for samsumg a15 5g and the a17 5g. It lacks some features like screen record for those who may want to edit their stuff for twitch and youtube. But over all good product cant wait to see what the next a series has to offer
