    I'm pleasantly surprised with how good of a phone this is despite it being one of the least expensive options at best buy. It's sturdy, fast, the camera is great and I haven't had any issues or little things that are annoying about it like I've had happen with other phones that cost more. Both my teens that are haters of android like it too and said they would choose this phone over there usual iPhones that are starting to have problems. If your debating on getting this phone but skeptical on the quality because the price is low, it's a good phone. I have dropped it multiple times already and even accidentally ran it over with my bike (I'm not light) and it's some how not damaged at all I bought the cheapest phone case best buy had and it is holding up really well too.

    Got Samsung Galaxy A16 for my dad and honestly, it’s a solid budget pick. The display is big and vibrant, battery easily lasts me a full day, though I would prefer A17 as the display is much better.

    The Galaxy A16 5G offers great value with its 6.7” AMOLED 90Hz display, long-lasting 5000 mAh battery, and 6 years of updates. It’s smooth for daily tasks and photos, though performance can lag with heavy use. The 50 MP camera is decent, build is plastic but sturdy.

    The phone is new, so yes it's working better than the previous one I was using. A lot of space has already been used and I can't figure out how since I havent even gotten started on videos and photos for work (realtor). I will use until it needs upgrading and then probably switch to a larger capacity more flasy version. Its nice and im able to use it for email, open house announcements, pics videos and zoom/meets/teams work. Im upset with BB because I really needed help xfering data and apps. They want $100 bucks to do it. Rip off...just help your customers instead of trying to gouge them! You have the resources in store to sit with me for 15 -30 minutes and xfer the data so I can have my new device work and contain all my information. That would be well rounded service.

    there are certain things I miss about my old phone that the new one does not do, like having to press ok after typing in your pin number... Did not have to do that before. It send messages to my email instead of where it is supposed to go. but other than that it is a good phone. Nice screen and pictures, lots of GB room. Good for my purposes

    I have used this phone as my daily driver for 2 weeks and not sorry! This phone does almost everything the top Samsung Flagship phones do! Sure it's a little slower but adequate. The camers are surprisingly good. Runs great for calls, texting, browsing and streaming. Has features like the big boys! Edge panels, Secure Folder plus one thing the flagships don't have; a SDCard slot! On a tight budget? Just buy it!

    This has the most beautiful screen I've seen on any phone I've had. It might not be the fastest phone I've had, but it does pretty decent for only 4 GB of RAM. The screen ratio is perfect, the text very readable on any app. The OS feels a lot like Apple. Very quality build. Not sure I would use it for work as a main phone but I'm retired so it works fine for me.

    The phone feels nice, the sound is good but the camera and other internal processing is horrible. I used to have an older Samsung Galaxy S10e but when i changed providers my phone didn't work with the new service for some reason. I chose this phone based on price, availability and expandable storage. The fast charging is nice, the battery life is good. The quality of the photos is good, however, when going from standard to zoom the camera lags. It also lags in between photos...so if you are hitting the "shutter" button at an interval of a few seconds in between photos it will lock and say "processing"...sometimes the whole phone will freeze completely while taking photos and then close all open apps.

    The best purchase I've ever made on mobile phones

    This phone surprised me a lot. The speed with which you open the applications is excellent and the screen looks sharp and bright, perfect for videos and social networks. The battery lasts all day without problems, even using it quite a bit. The camera takes very clear photos with good colors, especially in portrait mode. In addition, it is light and comfortable to wear. Without a doubt, a purchase that is totally worth it.”

    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.

    My daughter wanted a phone for her birthday present. I bought her the Samsung A16. And I can't even begin to describe how happy she was. It has an excellent camera, great battery life, and a spectacular screen.

    Solid little device. I wish it had another 2 GB of RAM just to feel a little snappier, but it functions alright. It does everything it needs to and packs a solid price to go with it, especially below the $200 MSRP at time of review.

    I purchased the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G from the Best Buy Walden Galleria store and I’m very happy with it so far. The phone looks great in the light gray color, and the 128GB storage is perfect for apps, photos, and daily use. The setup was quick and the phone runs smoothly with fast 5G connectivity. The staff at the store were helpful and the checkout process was easy. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable smartphone.

    Great purchase! The Samsung phone camera never disappoints. The picture quality is excellent, and overall performance is smooth. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an affordable phone that still functions really well.
