[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Galaxy A17 is a great phone I love how I can save my emails and passwords for every app and website it's very helpful. I like the fingerprint reader and how I can take a picture or screenshot and circle anything any ask my AI assistant where I can find it and how much does it cost. Galaxy phones are my favorite phones and the only phones I use because they come with so many easy and user friendly things. Everyone should use Galaxy phones.

Some great features BUUUTTT
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: MewlingQuim22
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has some great features. It's great except for the lagging. Pics and videos are very clear and crisp, however, by the time the shutter actually clicks after being pressed to take the Pic, sometimes the photo op has passed. Also, the phone cant seem to handle games that have a lot of data. I play Pokémon Go and EVERY time I go to areas with a lot of graphics, IE Pokémon, gyms and pokestops, the game lags to the point I cant play ot it freezes and I cant play. Its very frustrating.

Hi MewlingQuim22,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s wonderful to hear that the camera quality delivers clear and crisp results. Your feedback on responsiveness and gaming performance highlights how crucial smooth performance is during gaming sessions. If you plan to play games that demand significant processing power, I recommend optimizing your device beforehand. You can do this using the Device Care feature, which can enhance your device's overall performance.
To optimize your device, navigate to and open the Settings app, then select Device Care, and tap on Optimize Now. On some devices, you may need to select Battery and Device Care first. This process will close all running apps and free up unused memory.
Thank you for being a valued member of the Samsung family!

Swipe to and tap Software update or System update. Tap Check for updates or Download and install. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to complete it. that is a good start for more troubleshooting options please check out our online guide linked below for more on how to keep your device running smoothly.
