    Perfect smart phone for the money

    This phone is perfect for someone who doesn't need lots of bells and whistles, but wants more than just a phone. It does run a little slower than I expected, but still does the job. Just need to be patient as it moves from screen (or app) to another.

    Phone is slick and works well for the price. The features and ease of use was something I wasn't expecting.

    It gives good everyday performance, solid battery life, and reliable 5G in an affordable package. If you want a basic phone that handles apps, photos, and daily use without paying for premium features, it’s a great value.

    The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a solid budget phone with a clean design and long-term software support, but its limited RAM (base 4GB) and sluggish performance make it better suited for basic to intermediate use rather than heavy gaming.

    I was hesitant buying a cheaper phone, but like alot. Fast and great battery life. Only con is not water resistant, but glad I made choice. It offers a few years of updates which sold me.

    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.

    The mobile phone is good and worth the price. Battery life lasts around 24 hours. It takes a little longer to fully charge compared to my other Samsung phone.

    Pretty average phone. Kinda big for one-handed use but that's okay. I like the long battery life compared to my iPhone 6s. The cameras leave something to be desired but they are not as bad as they could be on an Android. Aesthetically: the big chin and camera notch look dumb. Functionally: not sure why the headphone jack is missing and they only put one speaker in this. Could've easily made this phone the flagship of budget phones in my opinion.

    If you’re looking for a budget-friendly unlocked 5G smartphone with solid fundamentals — large AMOLED screen, good battery, from a trusted brand with long-term support — then the Galaxy A16 5G (128 GB version) is a very good pick. It strikes a strong value.

    The Galaxy A15 5G works great for everyday use. Battery lasts all day, screen is clear and it's fast enough for basic apps. Great value!

    I am very pleased at the decision I made to upgrade to this phone. It gives me way more data storage than my previous phone and the visibility of the numbers and material to be read is much more clearer.

    I am very happy with my new Samsung Galaxy A16 phone! It has been extremely easy for me to add apps and delete those I didn't want, and it does everything I need and more! I am still exploring all the many ways to use it, and look forward to learning to use the camera and the many other ways I can use it to enhance my cell phone experience. I have been very pleased with the service department at Best Buy when I have brought in my laptop also and plan to refer all my friends whenever they are looking for a phone or laptop.
