    Very good cheap option for a phone, doesnt have a lot of ram but 128 gb of storage makes up for that. If a little laggy phone doesnt bother you definitely worth the purchase. For the price 5 stars

    A Solid Budget Upgrade from the S8

    Upgrading from the Galaxy S8 to the A16 5G feels like stepping into a more modern, no-frills zone. While it doesn’t have the premium glass-and-metal build of the S8, the A16 makes up for it with practical features and surprising value. f you’re moving from the S8 and want something inexpensive but capable, the A16 5G hits the sweet spot. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, efficient, and surprisingly future-proof. Most important it excepts MicroSD cards.

    Great product, great price, no issues. At first j tried the 99 dollar nokia but every week a new glitch would occur. I asked the guy at my local best buy if this entry level samsung for only a 100 dollars more would also have glitches. Je said no . He was right. Thanks man

    A Capable early model cell phone

    The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a capable cell phone. I cannot see spending over a couple of hundred of dollars and this one was $180. The phone does all the things a phone is supposed to do for a early model, (the current one is in the mid-20s now?) At times, it can hesitate going from one task to the other, but it's minor. The camera is decent and the phone runs all my apps just fine. Setting up with my carrier (Metro PCS) was smooth and was working within 20 minutes of purchasing. If it breaks or lost, I won't feel too bad at $180 and satisfied with the A16.

    Needed this phone as a quick replacement to a broken device. Been better than we expected and is an awesome value for what you get. Highly recommend if you don't need all the additional features of it higher priced siblings.

    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.

    I can't really knock off too much considering all Samsung phones come with "features and apps" preinstalled that I would rather be without, but the phone works well if you're like me and you don't really need it for much else besides basic apps, web browsing, and phone calls. Definitely a great value product.

    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.
