    Amazing phone for the price. I was looking for a solid phone at a low price point and saw many good reviews on this model. It has the look, feel and speed of a much more expensive phone. It took some time to set up (mainly removing pre-installed apps that I'd never use), but there are multiple layout options to choose from so you can customize it as you like. One minor annoying feature is that when you automatically sort apps in alphabetical order, folders are placed first, regardless of their order in the alphabet, and it can't be adjusted manually. I tried organizing all the apps by hand, but if the automatic sort option is disabled, the display format changes from scrolling to pages.

    It is very easy to operate. It has a long battery life. It may be a basic phone, but has more options than I would use.

    excellent product. a few cosmetic changes from my prior samsung galaxy, but i adapted very easily. It is fast and has more than enough room for the apps I have. I am glad to have bought it. A big thanks to the team member who helped me. He answered all my questions and offered insights to things I had not thought of.

    This phone is a very good value, capable of everything I've asked it to do and more. I'm quite impressed. I bought it for a person who is not accustomed to Smart phone usage and this Android has an Easy setting which is very helpful. The screen is nicely sized and the options for text are endless. I love it and I think I'll get one for myself because my A50 which I'm extremely attached to and still works so very well, is obsolete. Not in my world, but you know! Back to A16, it takes awesome photos, has great speakers, does everything an I Phone does only easier! Samsung you never fail to impress me whether it's a personal phone or a Washing Machine (my Samsung set is almost 14 yrs old and still looks/performs like new) or other major appliance, I trust Samsung to deliver and this A16 phone is just more proof of that trust.

    INCREDIBLY SLOW - DO NOT BUY

    I think I can repeat a lot of the concerns other people had. Given that this us a new phone, it should perform much better than it does. The processor speed is not good and you will notice laggy, slow performance. Even with virtual RAM (only 4GB available), there is not enough memory to keep background apps open. I just fought for over half an hour to log into a bank app because I would request a text or call code, just to have the app be closed automatically and have to start the process all over again. Playing games is extremely difficult unless you close all other apps first, otherwise even simple animations cause lag and stuttering framerate. The screen is a good size and the phone is fairly inexpensive, but you're much better off buying a refurbished, several years old Galaxy S series for a comparable price or less. Check your options, because this phone is incredibly frustrating to use.

    Perfect device for my son who is 13 years old. I love Samsung cell phone. This one is realible, fast, and cost efficient. I coupled it with an otterbox case - super sturdy. Makes good economical sense. He does a lot of streaming of videos and music and texting, but not too much gaming on it.

    I have very basic needs when it comes to a cell phone: 1. It must transmit and receive and not drop calls when in a good signal area. 2. Must be capable of Wi-Fi calling. 3. Text 4. Act as a Wi-Fi Hotspot. 5. Expandable memory (Micro SD card) That’s about it, and this phone checks all the boxes. And it does it for $150 (on sale). And the camera is fantastic.

    I love my A16 5G Galaxy cell phone because it is very user friendly, which makes it fun to use. It has a lot of versatility and functions to use and adapt for other functions. An unlocked pho e is a good idea if you already have a wireless plan, but only need a new cell phone. You are paying for a phone you can afford and want. Storage on phone is plenty and more than others. The size of the phone is just right.
