    I’m literally crying. My parents got me the Samsung A16 thinking they were doing something, but this phone is a straight-up disaster. If you actually use your phone for more than just checking the weather, DO NOT GET THIS. The Lag is Insane: I try to open TikTok and the whole screen just freezes for like 5 seconds. By the time the video loads, the trend is probably already over. Scrolling is so glitchy it makes my eyes hurt.Multitasking is a Joke: If I’m on a video call and try to open Instagram, the phone starts heating up like a space heater and then just crashes both apps. 4GB of RAM in 2025? Samsung, be for real right nowThe "Wait" Screen: I spend half my life looking at loading circles. Even the keyboard takes a second to pop up sometimes. I literally have to type slow so the phone can keep up with me.

    I really like my new phone. The response is really fast, and the letter and number fonts are large enough that I do not strike more than one character at a time.

    if all you need is a cheap little phone, and you do not particularly care about the Mobile operating system, this is a decent little phone. However, it’s lack of galaxy features such as Bixby makes it unworthy of the Galaxy name.
