A starter phone for a newbie

This is undoubtedly the worst Samsung phone I have ever had. So bad I don't know where to start. It lags, can't multitask, won't stay connected to wifi, the camera ....etc. Atp, I'm currently looking for another phone and TRASH this one. At least the battery life is okay.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to go back to my z flip because this A17 is probably the worst Samsung device that I have ever owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't had the phone for very long but so far streams my shows well. Had plenty of memory slave for the mountain of photos i have. Camera quality is good battery life is decent. It does get a little slow if you try doing multiple things within a short time.
I chose this phone for what I feel like is obvious reasons.
