    Not a good phone

    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.

    Needed this phone as a quick replacement to a broken device. Been better than we expected and is an awesome value for what you get. Highly recommend if you don't need all the additional features of it higher priced siblings.

    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.

    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.

    I am replacing the A13 5G. Best Buy had a real good deal that I couldn't pass up. I am still learning all the features. I am liking the A16. It has double the internal storage from my old A13. Which is a huge upgrade. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of higher level Samsung cellphones, but it does everything I need. I use it mainly for calls, texting, emails, apps and browsing. It gets the job done for my basic usage.

    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.
