[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G as my main phone for a couple of weeks now, and to be honest, I've been quite impressed, although there are a few things to consider before buying it.
What I liked most:
The screen is a pleasant surprise: For the price, the screen is very fluid. The 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate, depending on the exact configuration this year, makes a huge difference when scrolling on social media. The brightness performs well outdoors, although it struggles a bit in direct midday sunlight.
Battery life is excellent: As is typical for this line, the 5,000 mAh battery is fantastic. I use it quite heavily (Bluetooth music, social media, a couple of hours of videos, and constant messaging) and I still have 30% or 35% battery left at the end of the day. If you're a more moderate user, it will definitely last you two days.
5G Connectivity: In areas with coverage, the speed difference when downloading files or streaming videos is quite noticeable compared to 4G. However, it falls short.
Game Performance: The processor performs excellently for everyday apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok, but if you try to play very demanding titles like Genshin Impact or max out the graphics in Call of Duty, you'll notice lag and stuttering, and the phone gets a little warm. It's a chip for everyday use, not for heavy gaming. Fast Charging: It's not that fast. It supports 25W charging, but since the charger isn't included, is it worth it? Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using my phone to play my games, the graphics are fantastic and super clear, I like that it has a good amount of storage on the phone to where I can have a good variety of my favorite games downloaded and to choose from! My last phone was a TCL & believe me when i say this but THAT PHONE IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!! Everything about it SUCKS! I cannot give you not 1 complaint about my Galaxy A17. I even use my AI Assistant on a daily basis!! I especially love the fact that I can change the settings and customize the assistants voice, way of talking, and even more specific things like its characteristic traits. Wether i want more humor and sarcasm or even for it to be more literal it lets me pick and choose wbat i want and i think thats pretty awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GALAXY A17 is wonderful. I have never been disappointed with any Samsung device. I really enjoyed the A813 as well. This phone has split screen features and is super fast. Charges fast. The battery is so impressive. Best one yet. The cameras are amazing as well. The features are superb.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the Samsung A17 i'm not very good with technology. And it makes it a little easier, the other phones I've owned.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I initially purchased the A17 as a temporary solution until my phone was repaired. I was surprised by its performance. I now use the A17 as my primary phone, the camera is fine, the battery lasts a full day, and I learned to love some of the AI features especially circle to search.
