I like the blue colour and the slimness. As for everything else, transferring data over from my old phone has been an absolute nightmare! I wasn't able to access my emails for days and my BT and Gmail accounts are still not insync one week later. I am unable to use my google accounts as there is a "problem" with my password, apparently. I've now wasted numerous hours trying to set up and resolve many issues, some of which are still outstanding. Some instructions would have been helpful. I personally wouldn't recommend it as I found it difficult to set up/transfer data from my old phone.

Dreadful a car crash of a mobile never experienced such a confusing pop up strewn piece of rubbish. Going back to TESCO to make a serious complaint. Ruined a foreign holiday with its constant stream of pop ups interfering with Google maps, flight boarding passes - if I didn't have to take it back I would take a hammer to it

We're sorry to see that you are having issues with your A17 in regard to pop ups you are seeing, Griselda. If you are referring to pop up ads, this can be down to a third-party app that you have downloaded that is causing the issue as we do not push these through on our phones. Take a look at this link to help remove them: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-remove-ads-from-a-galaxy-smartphone/ If you need further assistance, please reach out to our Support Teams who will be on hand to help.

I purchased this and only ended up keeping it for a week, great hardware ie the camera and felt very well made. However the software that runs this phone ruins it, I understand it’s a budget smart phone but it shouldn’t lag or freeze on the most basic of tasks. Only good things were the camera and I couldn’t knock it for battery life. Avoid if you want something stable.

I bought this a week ago as a stopgap while my iPhone being repaired. The most noticeable thing is just kind of how slow it is compared to the iPhone, but even my old Android from a few years ago. It does everything fine, but it's a surprise for a new phone how slow it is compared to a phone a couple of years older than it. It's probably loaded with too many junk apps. I was also kind of surprised by the state of the box it came in, which was a little faded and made me think it might have been a refurbished phone. I noticed a guy in front of me who was collecting a LEGO box set, and it was in a right state as well. So I kind of question how much care they are taking with the shipments.

We're disappointed to see that you are facing issues with latency on your A17. This certainly isn't the experience we would expect from such a high quality model. With the powerful Octa-Core processor running this device, it is capable of operating at great speed. Please take a look at troubleshooting steps that will address the latency here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-is-my-phone-slowing-down-and-how-can-i-speed-it-up/ Any pre-installed apps are included either for the smooth running of the software, or with the intention of making the set-up process as easy as possible. You can delete any unwanted apps that aren't integral to the software in Settings > Apps > Select the app > Uninstall. If this issue persists, please reach out to Samsung Support Teams, who will be happy to help. They will also be able to provide support with your speaker.

I needed a new phone as my very old Samsung had run out of storage space meaning it wouldn't update anymore. I chose this handset as the battery can be replaced and it has enough storage to last for updates until 20. It was also reduced by 30% making it a good price. It's not much bigger than my old phone, which I wanted. It's got a better camera and is all working fine. So far so good!

Great value phone. Very easy to set up. Pretty large, as I was used an Apple iPhone 12 Mini. Battery is much better than that phone, which was the reason for changing. Nice and slim. Good display. Does not support wireless charging, but that is the only downside so far, and not a major issue.

Bought a week ago, it had no instructions on first use E. g. Select language etc. Nor how to transfer contents of ols Android phone into the Samsung. Thus some hours consumed searching for Apps on line to replace my favourite ones,. The AI kept popping up in an interfering way to stop me doing my entries. The screen is bright and a good size (just like the Doogee it replaced)., Obviously the new battery lasts better.

I've had my phone less than a week so I'm still finding out what it does. The battery life is great. Much longer lasting. Overall so far I'm finding it much better than my last one. That was a different phone altogether.

It's a big phone as they all seem to be now but I'm very happy with it's functionality and for the price you really can't grumble, I got it in blue which is a really nice colour too. Samsung provides 6 years of OS updates (from introduction of the model, not purchase) so that's reassuring as well. The camera seems decent enough and the benefit of the big screen is that they look great. I'm getting 2 days between charges but it has a large 5000 mAh fitted, no wireless charging tho but not a problem - everything is USB - C now so your not looking for specific cables. Feels robust and it's a good quality device, Samsung clearly know what they're doing. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and returning to Android wasn't such a big deal either.

I purchased this new Samsung galaxy a17 phone as my Nokia c21 was over 4 years old and getting a little bit tired. The look sleekness performance battery is brilliant. I have tried the camera and it's so real life. I'm no genius but I got to grips with it fairly quickly but still learning.

Samsung Galaxy S17 5G. This is the first new cell phone I have bought in many years. This device is worlds apart from my old phone. The initial set-up process is very intuitive making transferring data and apps across from the old device simple and quick despite it being a different brand. I understand there are higher performance models available but if you're looking for a mid range phone that is good value for money with good performance and functionality then the S17 is the right choice, not to mention it comes with all major Android OS upgrades and security patches for the next 6 years making it future proof.

The camera quality is super and the phone itself is so easy to use. The battery lasts easily 72 hours with normal use. Overall I am very pleased with this phone.

Not had this phone long but I'm very impressed. It runs very quickly and has decent battery life. I'm not a gamer, so just wanted a reasonably priced phone for internet and keeping in touch with friends, it fits the bill perfectly. The option of storing photos onto a micro SD card was also really attractive to me. I haven't taken many snaps yet but those I have seem perfectly fine

I've had this phone a week now, it's quite a bit different from my old phone as I only needed to scroll across on my old one to get to the apps this one you swipe up from the home screen then across. But then I'm not used to a Samsung Galaxy. Most other things are more or less the same. I seem to need to charge this phone more or less everyday, the display and camera is great quality for the price I paid. I would definitely buy this phone again

I purchased this to replace a broken phone, so i really did not do much research. It is a lovely size and slim and the picture quality is good. it seem to take longer to charge than my previous phone and the phone can get quite hot when charging. I tried to contact customer services, but just kept going around in circles. There is no one to email. I gave up in the end.
