Samsung Galaxy A17 5G — Disadvantages

Cons

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

No stereo speaker pair

There is no stereo speaker setup. It covers speakerphone calls and short clips, but headphones are a better fit for music, games and films.

Slower wired file transfers

The port transfers data at USB 2 speeds. Moving large videos to a computer can involve a wait; having a USB-C connector does not automatically mean USB 3 transfer speeds.

No 3.5 mm headphone socket

Traditional 3.5 mm headphones need a compatible USB-C adapter. USB-C headphones or Bluetooth are the other options.
