This is my second Galaxy phone, and it is easy to use. It has all the features I need. The camera is user-friendly, and the picture quality is very good. Lots of storage, and with the addition of an SD card, you should have room for all your great photographs. It has many of the features of more expensive phones. Charging time is very quick and the battery lasts for about 2 days or more, depending on useage. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

The Samsung phone is okay. I purchased this phone due to it having the Android system.

I really wanted to like this phone, but for the price point you get what you pay for. Most everything you’re doing in this phone you will be frustrated with the lagginess, app, crashing, and inability to multitask. I plan on selling this phone soon.

This is a good phone for your dollar. It is a Galaxy and a Samsung. It is straight forward and my Father (75) is using it and enjoying it.

We were looking for a reasonably priced, unlocked phone recently released. Usage is primarily as a mobile phone, little texting and video watching. No game playing. Routine usage of Signal for family and taking some snapshots. Researched online and found the A17 5G 128GB. Best Buy had a competitive price. Salesman was personable, patient, and knowledgeable.

At times this device is frustratingly slow. It lags with more than 3 apps running at once. I would have preferred to pay $250 and have this device with 8GB RAM, I might even have settled for 6GB RAM? Better off with a Motorola G which does not lag as much as this phone. I am certain that the Samsung One UI skin is just a little too much for an Exynos 1330 with 4GB RAM. I gave it three stars instead of two because the camera is not too shabby and the screen is fantastic.
