[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone so I could play my farm game in style. The nice large screen and great usage speed.

This is the slowest phone I ever had, very sad.
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: FayeXO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone because it was very affordable and due to my last phone being out of date. Biggest mistake I have ever made.
This phone has been slow right out of the box, unresponsive, and an absolute pain to use. The camera stops working after a few pictures and causes my entire phone to crash, I can't listen to music and type due to glitching, and I'm constantly getting "System UI has stopped working" messages.
I've been a loyal Samsung user for over a decade now, and I can tell you this is without a doubt the slowest phone I've ever had.

Do not buy. Slow unstable and untrustworthy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the worst photo I have ever bought. Slow, unreliable and unstable. I chose this as a backup to my pixel and regret it. Some messages don't send, some take forever. Miss notifications consistently. Can't switch apps without starting over.

Honest Galaxy A17 Review
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ⭐⭐⭐
I wanted to give an honest review of the Galaxy A17. The phone was delivered on time and arrived in good condition, and the initial setup was pretty straightforward.
That being said, I’ve been somewhat disappointed with the phone’s performance. In my experience, it feels noticeably slow at times, especially when switching between apps or trying to do multiple things at once. It also seems to use more mobile data than I expected compared with other phones I’ve used.
The phone does have a decent screen, the basic features work, and the battery life is acceptable. However, the overall performance leaves something to be desired. If you’re looking for a basic phone for calls, texting, and light use, it may be fine, but I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who expects fast performance or efficient data usage.
Overall, it’s an okay budget phone, but I expected better performance from Samsung.

Samsung A series phone turned was right for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose a Samsung A series phone because of the promised 6 years of software updates, and their great reputation as a hardware manufacturer.

I'm so blue
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: HopefullySearching629
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was happy with my phone the 1st 3 weeks of having it. Then experienced the same issues I was having with my other Samsung phone. That was 2 years ago. I chose to keep the phone because my husband purchased it as a birthday gift. I will keep purchasing Samsung phones in hopes that I will find one that works for me. After 15 years, I'm disappointed.

I'm loyal to Samsung products
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Jimmy67Jam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung A17 as an upgrade. I did have issues downloading from my previous phone. I frequently get a message notifying me my phone is running slow and I have to restart it. My battery life is a lot longer so that is a plus.
