Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Mobile connectivity stops at 4G
This is the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy A17, with no 5G support. Everyday online services still work over 4G, but it cannot connect to a carrier’s 5G network.
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.
