    It is pretty fine, but having only 4gb makes it quite slower. Also there's some missing features that my old phone had, like screen recording.

    The phone is just ok. I don't know why sometimes when i am holding the phone the long way it flips sideways. The camera pictures are not very vibrant, but it will do. The phone is good for regular basic usage.

      Hey Sparkle217, thanks for reaching out to share your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. We value your sentiments as we continue to improve our product line. It sounds like Auto Rotate is enabled on your display. Swipe down from the top, tap the Auto Rotate icon (or Portrait/Landscape) in Quick Settings to lock it to Portrait (or Landscape) to stop it, or tap again to re-enable rotation. That should resolve your display rotating. Without having more information available regarding your camera quality, I suggest reaching out to Support for further assistance. If you would like to share any other feedback with us or if you would like further assistance, our Support reps are standing by. Thanks for being a valued Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung

    This was a Mother’s Day gift for my wife, and though it is an older model it was a significant upgrade. It was a quick set up, easy switch of the Sim, and she was very pleased.

    Not as good as Pixel

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For a relatively cheap phone, it works fine. However, after previously using a Google Pixel phone from several years ago, this one pales in comparison. The camera is mediocre, despite the three lenses. The UI is average at best, but it has few features compared to Pixel. It struggles when multiple apps are open and tends to crash. I also dislike the Samsung "ecosystem" of apps and UI design. So overall, I say spring for the Google Pixel, or save your shillings for one down the line, instead of getting this.
