From the brand
My husband works construction, so he doesn’t need an expensive phone around all that dust. His last phone, A14, had a cracked screen, so I figured it was time for a newer phone. I only purchase Samsung Galaxy phones and this was a nice upgrade for him. He is pleased with it. He likes that he still can use his expandable storage and transferring from his old one to his new one was a breeze with the smart switch app feature Samsung has.
This is a great phone for the money. Camera works well and the Bluetooth connection is reliable. Google mapping works well too. If you aren’t looking for prestige with the latest and greatest tech, this is a solid choice. Don’t forget to buy a case before you drop it.
The phone seems to be a good replacement for the ancient Google Pixel 3 that it replaced.
Why 4 stars? It is the first phone I’ve had that requires that 2 buttons (volume down & power) be pressed simultaneously to turn it off. I realize that most of you kids these days leave your phone on constantly. I’m an old and actually turn mine off. It’s difficult with this phone. It seems that 9 times out of 10 I press one of the buttons slightly before the other, which doesn’t work. I have to hit them at absolutely the same time, so it often takes 3 or 4 tries to turn it off.
Pretty happy with this phone. Killer camera. Good speed. It’s a Samsung. Hard not to like. Does everything I need it to. Love the ESim. Spectrum told me it wasn’t compatible on their network, but I was sure it was. After I hung in there telling them it was just a newer version of the A16 they finally got it right and did an ESim for me and got it going.
Love my new phone. The phone looks & sound good. Transferring my data using samsung smart switch is quite easy, but it takes a little bit of time to set up and personalize my phone again. I pick this phone because it is affordable and has long term security updates. I personally do not like to change phone every year. The wifi and mobile connectivity is good and smooth. I don’t use my phone for work or gaming. So this model series is sufficient for my basic needs, just for emails, calling, texting, reading and sometimes watching video. Overall, I recommend this phone for people with basic needs.
I was a Moto user. Before moving over to Android, I was among the 0% that used a Windows Phone. My needs have been modest, so the idea of shelling out nearly a thousand or more for a phone never crossed my mind. What is important is ongoing support, which rules out every cat-sat-on-a-keyboard brand. It’s also the reason why I switched from Moto over to Samsung; offering 6 years of OS and security support (from initial release) on an entry-level class device is a HUGE PLUS. In the case of this A17, that’s all the way into August 2031.
This is NOT a fast phone by any means, however. Playing media and general browsing? Sure. Playing video? Fine. Lots of videos at once like on some social media platforms? Not so much. Taking videos? It’s only 1080p. More immersive games? I wouldn’t bother. Between the processor and the 4GB of RAM, some patience will be necessary, especially for folks running lots of apps. There is more underlying “bloat” here; turning off the animations under developer mode along with unneeded services improves the experience a bit, however.
The A17 phone case I purchased separately for this arrived labeled as an A26; the glass screen protector as an A16, so apparently this phone shares a very similar design with those models. No 3.5mm jack but there is a micro SD slot which it shares with the SIM tray. The AMOLED screen is a huge plus; great contrast and sharpness, which is NOT common in this entry-level class. It does have NFC for tap to pay, but no wireless charging.
Will this win any benchmarks? No. Folks expecting sports car performance at an economy car price will be extremely disappointed. This does not nor will not compare to phones that cost more. However, if your needs are modest, there’s no need to spend $$$ either when this will do the job.

Edit: Just for added confirmation about ongoing support (or lack thereof), the Moto G17 that was just released at the end of January 2026 does NOT promise ANY OS updates at all. That’s a stark contrast to the A17 here with a promise of 6 years of OS and security updates.
