I have a galaxy A5 (2017)
2 months ago I started to have problems, people who where calling me, could ear themselves talking like in a tunnel when it wasnt them it was me. For the past 2 months back and forth with Walmart thats where I got my phone, but We dont know is that Walmart is only a sale place. The phone is Samsung A5 2017 its still on warranty , Walmart cant not help me, I got the big boss at Samsung to be put on hold for 1hr and they hung up on me. I am 73 yrs old, I need my phone for emergencies, Samsung wont replace it, they want to repair it but they say there is nothing wrong, yea right. If I cancel my contract I have to pay $237. And if I get another I need to pay $217.00, if I send it to be repaired of course they will send it back and tell me my phone is ok and I have to deposit $75.. for a loaner, I am so frustrated right now I think if I had a gun I would shoot them all. I have a Fido contract and I heard yesterday february 21 st Fido belongs to Rodgers. To me I am being exploited and at 73 I dont need this crap, yes the phone is crap, Samsung is crap and for Rogers not doing anything. I lm on my hold age security and dont have a house phone. I think I have done what I could and still have the noisy phone for how long???When I have $237. to end this contract and go somewhere else for a phone...Please dont buy a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) plain crap./

I did not like the system stutters, the screen touch sensitivity in not uniform; some areas needs firm press feel the touch, other areas respond even before touching, just hovering over. The screen is less vibrant than other samsung phones. For the same price, I bought HTC U11 with better camera, triple the storage, douple the RAM, better screen touch, better audio.
I do not compare the phones (I know one is flagship and other is a midranger).
For curious fellaws, 250$ :~))

so I'm not a Samsung user and hoping for community feedback..
what privacy settings does this device have, like a vault, etc? and the ability to create a separate account that can be activated by a certain finger & have different apos, etc ? similar to privatespace (emui)/ second space (miui)
would anyone say this or the p10 lite is better?
