Samsung Galaxy A16 5G The Budget Phone That Refuse
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.large, good display for the price,Solid battery life
I would recommend this to a friendGood Phone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.New Samsung for work. I had an old Samsung so this was a very easy transition. There were some changes that I liked better on the old phone but perfectly doable.
I would recommend this to a friendNot a good phone
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The performance of this phone is terrible. Everything is super laggy there were constant delays with inputs. Trying to open/close apps would result in undesirable actions. My 6 year old phone I was replacing is snappier than this phone. While the resolution was good on the camera, it would lag so badly that it was hit or miss whether the picture would actually be taken. The screen is good and videos/pictures look great once they loaded. Battery life was good, as would be expected on a new phone. Cannot recommend this phone. Was a waste of $200.

Slow performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great display, decent camera, and impressive 6 years of software updates. But the sluggish chipset and poor multitasking make it hard to recommend as a daily driver. It's only really suitable as a second phone that sees minimal use. This phone is extremely slow. Get something else

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, great price, no issues. At first j tried the 99 dollar nokia but every week a new glitch would occur. I asked the guy at my local best buy if this entry level samsung for only a 100 dollars more would also have glitches. Je said no . He was right. Thanks man

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my son. It is a great alternative to the Galaxy S series phone. The camera is really good with all of the same features you get on the top line Samsung phones. So far my son is very happy with it.
I would recommend this to a friendOver the moon!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with my new Galaxy phone. Loved my previous Samsung, eventually replaced with a cheap bloated Google Pixel 6A with no cable connection that I quickly came to despise but hung onto since I don't use a phone that much. Happy to be back with Samsung with a nice big screen easy to customize for a novice, and under $200. Camera resolution not great, or maybe I haven't figured out the settings. It works well enough and I have other cameras.

I would recommend this to a friendSamsung A16 cell phone.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After having used my new Samsung A16 cell phone, it is NOT as fast as I initially thought. MANY TIMES, I get frustrated when the cell phone DOESN'T respond as quickly as I would like. In addition, the battery drains quite rapidly. I would NOT recommend the Samsung A16 cell phone to anyone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSuper
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's good to use and user friendly I am enjoying with my phone and camara
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't really knock off too much considering all Samsung phones come with "features and apps" preinstalled that I would rather be without, but the phone works well if you're like me and you don't really need it for much else besides basic apps, web browsing, and phone calls. Definitely a great value product.
I would recommend this to a friendGood Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fast, clear, and nice. I needed an upgrade, and this phone was exactly what I needed.
I would recommend this to a friendGood, Basic Cellphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to use, a perfect cell phone for the person who is not extremely cell-phone focused, but is wanting to use it for emergency or piece-of-mind contact. Quality with all the features necessary to make it a good choice. Has internet connectivity. Great alternative to other high-priced cell phones out there. Highly recommend this phone and would buy again.
