This a great phone for the price. It performs well and the display looks good.

Good phone, overall.
Ridiculously short battery life for a New Samsung phone.
And, not so great camera.
Decent, but not good if you use your phone daily.
Overpriced for a mediocre phone.

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G 128 GB (Unlocked, Blue‑Black) for a month, primarily for calls and WhatsApp, yet it frequently hangs, the touch sometimes fails, and it even heats up occasionally, all despite light usage. Even my finger print unlocking system is not working properly. Its more like my 200 USD is just gone wasted.

I wish people can understand that this is the best phone ever. It has everything a person needs. It is fast and reliable. I like it so much!

Purchased as a temporary phone for 2 days. My God. This phone is bottom tier on every level. It's slow. Can't multi-task. Camera stutters, browsing is laggy. Charging takes hours. Samsung made the absolute bottom barrel of a phone. Its like an Obama phone

Don't buy unless you want to live with Google

Returned this phone. Android....could not escape Google at every second. Really irritating. Also, BestBuy could not move my info from the other phone. Two different people tried. This phone is huge.....way too big for small hands. Much unnecessary junk on it and again, Google is the actual reason for return.

Buggy phone - I would not suggest you buy it
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Phone is buggy. The touch screen periodically stops working. The 'Accidental Touch' periodically pops up without touching the screen. Samsung phone app is poor. I set Google phone as my default but cannot remove the Samsung phone app. When entering on the texting key pad occasionally the wrong letters appear. I can tap 1 letter and 3 random letters appear. Notifications appear for texts I've read. All above require a restart.
Hello RichardD, thank you for finding the time to share your sentiments with us about your Samsung Galaxy A16. We appreciate your feedback as it allows us to improve the design and functionality of our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. There are some simple ways to get the touchscreen working again when it’s frozen or unresponsive. "Touchscreen issues on a Galaxy phone or tablet" is a great resource to check out that addresses your concern with your touchscreen. You can disable the Accidental Touch feature on your device to resolve what you may be experiencing. Also ensure that no obstructions are interfering with the sensor. You can adjust your screen to be less sensitive to taps and touches. Here's how: From Settings, tap Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity and tap an option - * Touch and hold delay: Select a time interval for this action. * Tap duration: Set how long an interaction must be held to be recognized as a tap. * Ignore repeated touches: Set a time duration in which to ignore repeated touches. If you have any questions or if you would like to share additional feedback, please feel free to contact Support at your leisure. Thank you for choosing Samsung! - Debra

Terrible

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This has to be one of the worst purchases that I've ever made. This phone is horrible. I've had smart phones from 10 years back run applications better than this phone. EVERYTHING has a heavy delay and lag. Basic navigation, typing, etc. barely functions. I had to remove a ton of installed applications and swap to google based applications just to make this thing actually work, and even debloated in barely works. For $200 I feel scammed.

Anxiety At Its Best

This phone should only be introduced to first time phone owners. You find yourself tapping 100 times just to get a response, and other tap interactions are just as bad. This phone should be sold for Much Less than its pricing since its experienxe is so horrid. Please - Stop trying to create cheaper if your going to increase anxiety.
