    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.

    Solid Budget 5G Phone

    I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G for a while now and overall it’s a solid phone for the price. The battery life is very good and easily lasts through the day. The display looks clear and bright, which makes streaming and browsing enjoyable. It’s not super fast, but performance is fine for everyday tasks. The camera is decent for casual photos and the sound is okay for calls and videos. There’s no wireless charging, but that’s expected at this price point. Overall, it’s a reliable and budget-friendly phone that I would recommend to anyone looking for good value.

    I purchased this phone couple weeks ago at BestBuys. I read a few of the other reviews that mentioned it was a tad slow due to low ram. I am not typically a purchaser of super high end phones, so can't comment. Works great for me. Love the phone for the price point. For me at this price can't complain.
