[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive had my phone for 6 months and its great. But the phone service T mobile is lousy. It always disconnects and its slow. But the service disconnecting or it takes awhile to connect to the service is very frustrating special when your doing something important. But the phone itself is Great.

Love Galaxy Phones
on September 4, 2026
Posted by: Belinda
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy series is the only phones I would buy if I would have to have an android phone. The designs are so sleek, prices are reasonable and have the best deals/offers. They have the updated software and so much to offer. Kudos to Samsung for another great experience with Galaxy.

The phone freezes constantly. Most of the time when the screen is locked and I try to unlock it, it won't let me put in my passcode. It won't even let me turn it off when it freezes completely. It's also extremely slow and laggy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just upgraded, finally, from a government issued phone and phone number to finally paying for my own service. I chose the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G and it has been a relatively smooth and comfortable experience.

my new galaxy A17 works like my old outdated A13
on September 3, 2026
Posted by: Opie13420
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I CHOSE to have a newer galaxy that isn't an A series. this new A17 don't work much better than my old A13 did. it's slow, glitches often, slow charging, and is exactly like the A13. there really isn't much to write home about when reviewing the A17 which I learned the A series is the super 8 compared to the S series which is a Hilton. I CHOSE to return my A17 for an S series anything.

This is the phone that checked all my boxes
on September 2, 2026
Posted by: Luv2bee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased with this device! From the keyboard all the way down to the measurements of my display. I am so very glad I chose to make the switch back over to Samsung! I can now play all the games of my dreams comfortably because of the dimensions of my screen, while also using it with all the comings of my day. Not worrying about it being too big to fit in my pocket, or juggling it around because of an obtuse built, it's just right. Thank you guys over at Samsung for making my life easier and so much more fun and manageable. Also great job integrating AI into the device!
