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$ :~))

                          anonymous, 30 Jan 2019so I'm not a Samsung user and hoping for community feedback... moreSearch for information about Samsung Knox. Is the "vault space" you are interested in. There are other options, like "safe folder", included too

                            A5 2017 is much better device than p10 lite, in every department. it is even better than p20 lite, no doubt about that.

                                  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?
