Mobile phones are too complex now
Bought this one month ago but not yet used as transferring data from my old phone is too daunting. Guess I will get round to it one day. Not sure why I bought it!

Lack of wireless charging.
My new A17 is easy to use once I remember to use fingerprint on the side and not the screen. I was disappointed that it does not include wireless charging as I understand that to be better for long term battery life. Thye display is bright and clear and battery life atm is good.

Excellent

Yes, the A17 5G is compatible with SD cards up to 2TB. Hope this helps, Jean!
The screen timeout feature on the A17 5G should only activate when you aren't interacting with the phone, so we would like to take a further look into this for you. Please reach out to our Support Teams, whose contact details and operating hours can be found here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/...
We're always here to help.
This does not appear to be compatible with the Libre2 Plus, Toni. We'd recommend contacting the manufacturer (Libre) for confirmation of this. We hope this helps.

Hello Nick,
No, the UK and Ireland regional version of the SIM Free Samsung Galaxy A17 5G (Model SM-A176B) is not eSIM compatible.
Thank you for using Q&A.
This is all dependent on your location, Jules. However, Samsung phones sold in the UK are primarily manufactured either in Vietnam or India. It will be stated on the box where this was manufactured.
We hope this helps!
The A17 will receive 6 major Android OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates, Bruno. We hope this helps.
Yes you can keep your same number, as this A17 5G is SIM Free, so any Nano SIM can be inserted. If your current SIM isn't Nano, please reach out to your Network Provider, who will be able to port your number over to the right size SIM. Hope this helps, Carol!
To transfer data from a smartphone to the A17 5G, we would recommend using our SmartSwitch app, which makes data transfer a breeze. You can find out more about this here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/apps/smart-switch/...
