Great value and solid performance

Our family loves Samsung devices, and this new A17 fits right in with what we expect from the brand. It feels sturdy in the hand and the build quality is definitely impressive for the price point. The screen is large and vibrant, making it easy to see everything clearly. We also really appreciate having a modern version of Android with the promise of guaranteed updates down the road.Setting this up on Mint Mobile was simple thanks to the esim support, and it connected without any issues. The camera captures clear, crisp photos that look fantastic for everyday use. While it can feel a tiny bit sluggish if you have too many apps running at once, it is hard to complain given the overall cost. The color looks even better in person than it did in the pictures. We are very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable phone on a budget.Ver más

Good phone, good price!!

I really like this phone, getting all my stuff transferred over from my Galaxy 9 was a breeze. Usually I wait until my old phone dies to get a new one, but not this time!! My only gripe is you can't turn it off with the power button, a voice box pops up and you have to tell it to restart or turn off. It does everything I need and more, the camera is really nice too.Ver más

GREAT PHONE, A BIT SLUGISH AT TIMES

NEEDS MORE MEMORY (RAM). The phone is great, the only issue that I have is the 4 Gb of RAM. It really screams fie more. The processor is "OK", a little bit outdated, but gets by fine. The screen is a nice AMOLED, but could use another 300 nits of brightness for sure. Image quality is quite good, bright enough, and touch screen works great. So here's my take on this Samsung Galaxy A17 5g. It's probably one of the best phones out there in this category, nice build, gorilla victus screen glass, reliable, fast enough fir most, just a bit slow sometimes downloading new pages, etc.For $200.... BUY IT!Ver más

Good quality phone and good price

Took me a minute to learn it but it works well and is as good as my Nokia I had. Battery lasts fairly well if you keep the brightness down. Speaker is very loud and microphone picks up well.

Less than $200

For less than $200 I got the phone, the case and the glass protector. Why all these years have I spent $1200 on a phone when the only thing I use is the phone, email and text?! I lost my S23 Ultra and yes I miss the stylus. I have been using the Stylus since my Note 4. My old phones did everything better than this phone, but it does the basics. Yes it's plastic, like a toy, but it works. As soon as I got it I went to Google Gemini & asked how to get all the Samsung bloat off the phone. It took about 30 minutes of uninstalling, forcing to stop etc. Great pictures? No, lol, but I have intermediate photoshop skills so for $1200 I can live with it.Ver más

I Should've Believed The Naysayers

I got this to replace a Samsung A50 that was purchased in October 2019. Yes, 2019! That's before the world changed forever due to a pandemic. And that alone should tell you how infrequently I change phones and what my priorities in life are. I'm a simple woman with simple needs.There wasn't anything really wrong with my old phone but t unfortunately I cracked the screen and it was almost as much to fix it as it was to get a new one. So since it was practically a dinosaur I chose to "upgrade" and decided to take the chance on getting this model after doing a lot of research. I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I mainly use my phone for basic tasks, talking, texting, etc. I don't do any gaming, heavy streaming or lots of downloading. At most I'll watch a YT video or scroll sparingly on SM if time permits.It arrived quickly and came unlocked as described. That's about it for positive feedback. It was really surprising to me that this phone didn't perform nearly as well as it's almost 7 year old predecessor. Let's start with the fact that it took over 4 hours to do a transfer at the mobile store. Then I learned I really didn't have enough storage so a lot of my texts didn't transfer over. The next thing is I keep running out of space and have to keep deleting photos & videos. Now keep in mind these are the same photos from my old A50. I also have almost the same specs on this phone as there is on the A50 so I don't understand why this is happening.Yes, I know things change but I'm not a fan of the new texting features. They're so annoying, especially auto-correct and the "typing" bubble like the iPhone. And I don't find this to be very intuitive so I have trouble changing certain features easily. I have to dig and dig to find what I need.The UI (?) updates are constant and very annoying. Internet pages or tabs will close or switch for no reason and the phone is also laggy as heck. For example, sometimes it takes at least 4-7 seconds to capture a screenshot. Or at times there's a long delay to move from one part of an Internet page to another. What's crazy is I'm not the type of user who requires everything on my phone to move at the speed of light. I can accept a delay here or there but it's a constant waiting game with this phone. And don't get me started on how terrible the camera is. I absolutely despise every picture this camera takes and selfie are the worst! They have everyone looking haggard as heck, no matter what the setting. My A50 camera was 1000x better than this and I could always find a way to take a flattering photo.When I initially read all the negative reviews (and I mean ALL) I incorrectly assumed some of complaints were from folks who were used to swapping out their $2K phones every year. They had high standards and this is a low budget phone so they were disappointed. I get it. It's hard to enjoy beer when you have champagne tastes. But I was quite mistaken. A lot of the complaints are very valid and quite accurate.If you're looking for quality on a budget this ain't it. Trust me. This phone is probably best for a 10-year old child. Take it from someone with super low standards and who kept their own phone for an actual child's formative years. I'll keep it because I don't want to spend more money right now but do yourself a favor and keep your expectations low. If you need a high performance phone look elsewhere. I wish I did.

Much needed upgrade!

Really like the phone so far! Huge upgrade from the non-brand name issued over 5 years ago - realize now that that's far too long to wait. Information found via Alexa helped me choose unlocked, US -based model that was compatible with my carrier. Charge lasts so much longer especially with Samsung 25W charger. Love the overall look.Enjoying the larger screen and most of all increased GBs - more space for apps I need. Was surprised to learn that this phone came out just last year and was still available at this price!Ver más

The Opposite of Powerful

This is what people mean when they say "underpowered." It does all the things, but it does them slowly, and you really do have to consciously wait for it to complete the function (next page, scroll down, select text, whatever) before you touch the screen again. Or you'll confuse the poor thing.If you are new to smartphones, this might be OK. If you are truly very patient, this might be OK. If you are used to any flagship-level phone, even one that's several generations old, please look for something more powerful.There's nothing actually wrong with it. It's a fully-functional smartphone, and the screen is very nice. But its processor is simply very slow, and it has so little RAM that it has trouble doing more than one thing at a time. Navigate while playing music from Spotify and then receive a call? Seems like something any phone should be able to do easily. This one can too... but with hesitation, glitchiness, slow response to touches and button presses that may result in errors.But it's cheap. A more powerful phone from two or three years ago will also be cheap, and almost certainly much better.Why did I buy this? It was an emergency.Ver más
