Just getting used to it but so far seems to be a robust, easy to use phone so very pleased.
Lancashire lady, 65 or over
Much faster, lighter and smaller.

Please dont buy
I wouldn't buy the samsung galaxy a17 5g if I know it was this slow to open a message even for it to feel my finger swiping to open the phone take more then 5 trys. Keeps kicking my wifi off it it's the worse samsung I've ever had and I love samsung but this one is terrible

Neat phone seems easy to use
Just purchased this week, a move towards cutting down our expenditure, Samsung a good quality phone in our experience and have taken a SIM only contract at a fraction of what we've been paying monthly
Shazam
Not very responsive.
It's too laggy. Sometimes your not sure what's happening because of the delay. I wouldn't buy another cheaper Samsung.

Great service good Phone
Don one
Easy as 1,2,3
I bought this to upgrade my old but still excellent Samsung A13 as I needed more storage and this Samsung A17 does just that for an excellent price it was £199.99 but had a offer of £30 off so for £169.99 it's a bargain. Some say argos is dearer than other places but I've learnt this lesson the hard way in the past by buying a phone of a very well know web site saying its new in a sealed box, but it's actually a refurbished phone. Argos is just like ronseal, it does as it says on it... 1 year warranty, 30 days return what's not to love,

Thank you for your question. We are pleased to confirm that the Galaxy A17 can be used in Spain. When travelling, we recommend ensuring that data roaming is enabled on your device and checking with your network provider that roaming services are included in your plan, as availability and charges may vary depending on your contract. We hope this helps.
Hello Nick.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for SIM Free Samsung Galaxy A17 5G 128GB AI Mobile Phone - Black.
Yes you can buy a phone here in UK, but with major network restrictions. You can physically bring a UK-purchased Samsung Galaxy A17 5G to the United States and use a US SIM card, but its daily performance will heavily depend on which American carrier you choose. So as we suggest, it is better to purchase a device from there so there will be no restrictions in using carrier network.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Yes, as long as you insert a UK SIM card and make a phone call of at least 5 minutes in length while in the UK, the region lock will be removed from the A17 and you will be able to use it abroad. Please note that software updates may be delayed while in the USA as they are distributed in collaboration with UK Network providers. You also may not be able to receive the same level of warranty support in the USA, should you require it. Hope this helps, James!
The A17 came out in the United Kingdom in August 2025. We hope this helps.

We can confirm that the Galaxy A17 supports microSD cards up to 2TB. To insert one, first make sure the phone is powered off. Then use the ejector tool included in the box to gently press into the small hole next to the SIM and microSD tray. When the tray pops out, carefully remove it, place your microSD card in the larger slot with the gold contacts facing downwards, and then reinsert the tray back into the device. If you need any further assistance with this process, please feel free to contact our Support Teams.
