    I am very happy with my new Samsung Galaxy A16 phone! It has been extremely easy for me to add apps and delete those I didn't want, and it does everything I need and more! I am still exploring all the many ways to use it, and look forward to learning to use the camera and the many other ways I can use it to enhance my cell phone experience. I have been very pleased with the service department at Best Buy when I have brought in my laptop also and plan to refer all my friends whenever they are looking for a phone or laptop.

    This is a very good phone. The only issue is coming from a Galaxy S22 to this A16, i definitely notice the speed difference. The battery life is great and its a great phone, for the money.

    Amazing phone for the price. I was looking for a solid phone at a low price point and saw many good reviews on this model. It has the look, feel and speed of a much more expensive phone. It took some time to set up (mainly removing pre-installed apps that I'd never use), but there are multiple layout options to choose from so you can customize it as you like. One minor annoying feature is that when you automatically sort apps in alphabetical order, folders are placed first, regardless of their order in the alphabet, and it can't be adjusted manually. I tried organizing all the apps by hand, but if the automatic sort option is disabled, the display format changes from scrolling to pages.

    To fit my budget, I don't buy the most recent phones. This is a good phone, clearly not the fanciest, but a solid product that seems to meet my needs. Not happy that Gemini keeps trying to start on it, but I think I finally got that to stop.

    I bought this as a spare to my flagship phone and honestly I might not buy a flagship phone next time around. The camera is not equal to a S25 Ultra, but it takes perfectly fine photos. Sometimes apps take a second or more extra to open, but for the price the phone is increadible.

    Decent For The Price

    This is a decent phone for the price. However it can lag at times because of only 4GB of ram and only 90hz refresh rate. The display is good but not as great as advertised. The back is not glass as it appears to the eye but really good plastic; so good it can be mistaken for glass. I think this is a decent phone but would of loved to see it with at least 6GB of ram. 6-8GB of ram should be industry minimum in 2025.

    i bought this phone about a month ago and its been working great. Its good quality for the price. The only thing that isnt so great is the camera quality but its to be expected for the price. And i dont really use it so it doesnt really matter to me. Id recommend it to anyone who wants a temporary phone like me.

    I love my A16 5G Galaxy cell phone because it is very user friendly, which makes it fun to use. It has a lot of versatility and functions to use and adapt for other functions. An unlocked pho e is a good idea if you already have a wireless plan, but only need a new cell phone. You are paying for a phone you can afford and want. Storage on phone is plenty and more than others. The size of the phone is just right.
