Bought the Galaxy A16 5G, 128GB. Solid phone for the price. Smooth performance, great battery lasts all day, and love the six-year update promise. Camera's decent in daylight, but night shots and gaming could be better due to limited RAM. Overall, great budget buy!

I wanted to take a cheaper phone on vacation rather than my regular phone. Best Buy had this bad boy on special so I got me one. Yes the phone is not as snappy as my more expensive phone, but for a whole lot less, I can live with it. The Camera is good, the screen is clear and bright enough, Battery life has been great. All in all for the price I paid, i'd say I got great value for money.

The display is great. I love the battery life and the the cameras are decent. It's a good bargain, especially with 6 years of update. I totally recommend it.

This is an excellent phone for everyday use. It is a nice size with a clear display. Very easy to use with lots of options for personal preferences and ringtones.

I was excited to upgrade to the Samsung A16, expecting at least a modest improvement over my previous Moto G 2023, but unfortunately, this phone's speed has been a disappointment. The A16 constantly lags and gets stuck, making even basic tasks frustrating. Scrolling through apps, switching between screens, and even typing can feel sluggish.
What’s most surprising is that despite being two years newer, the A16 actually feels slower than my old Moto G. Looking at Geekbench scores, my A16 has a single-core score of 853 and a multi-core score of 1824, compared to my Moto G 2023’s 745 and 1779, respectively. On paper, the A16 should at least match my old phone’s performance, but in real-world usage, the A16 feels noticeably slower which makes it hard to use comfortably.
Aside from the underwhelming speed, the phone does have a decent screen and camera for the price, but I simply can’t recommend it due to the poor performance. I understand that a budget phone isn’t going to be a powerhouse, but I at least expected it to perform as well as my old Moto G. Sadly, that’s not the case.

Efficient, great value for the money paid. Works just as well as my very pricy samsung galaxy s24. Wondering why I'm paying so much for other phones. This phone does great and originally bought one for travel(unlocked) but now I've bought another to gift as well. Camera and screen are comparable to my regular phone, although i will say that after restarting or first powering onn it does take about 10 seconds of lag, after which it runs just smooth. I dont mind those 10 seconds, I usually dont fully power off the phone anyhow.
Pictures and videos are wonderful as well considering the price paid.

I bought this Samsung Galaxy A16 5G 128GB unlocked phone for my father visiting from India, because the Redmi phone he carried from India didn't work here with T-Mobile prepaid sim.
This phone worked perfectly no issues. I checked with Samsung reps if this is work in India and they confirmed it will work in India as well. Waiting to see if it will.
This phone is dual sim. One is eSim and one physical sim.
Quality is really good for the price. Super Amoled screen in this price range is impressive.
It's splash proof only but you can't expect anything beyond at his price range.

This is a very good phone. The only issue is coming from a Galaxy S22 to this A16, i definitely notice the speed difference. The battery life is great and its a great phone, for the money.

I bought the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G and I’m honestly very happy with it. The phone feels smooth and responsive for everyday use, and the Light Gray color looks clean and modern, even better in person than in photos.
The screen is large and bright, which makes watching videos, scrolling social media, and reading really comfortable. I also love having 128GB of storage, so I don’t have to worry about running out of space for apps, pictures, or videos.
Battery life has been great — it easily lasts me a full day and more with regular use. The camera takes clear, nice photos, especially in good lighting, and it’s perfect for everyday moments and video calls.
Since it’s unlocked, setup was simple and it works perfectly with my carrier. Overall, this phone does exactly what I need without being complicated or overpriced. It’s a solid, reliable choice, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good 5G phone at a great value.
