    A very nice phone and the price is not bad at all. Received the phone the next day after purchasing it online. It takes nice pictures and it is very clear when making a call. I do recommend this phone.

    I’ve been using the Samsung A16 for a while now, and honestly, for the price, it’s a really solid phone. The first thing I noticed is the battery life — it lasts all day with no problem. Even with YouTube, TikTok, and a lot of scrolling, I still end the night with charge left. That alone makes it worth it. The screen is big and bright, and videos look clean. I like the smooth 90Hz display — it makes the phone feel more modern even though it’s budget-friendly.

    Terrific phone...a definite upgrade from my last phone. Works well and has at least 5 years of upgrades/ updates as opposed to other phones 3 years of updates!

    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.

    I had this phone for a month, and it's met my expectations. I upgraded from a Moto G Power for the longevity of security and OS updates. The phone's features and camera are great.

    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 was getting hot and closing the multiwindow feature. The bluetooth was very weak. I had to return it.

    I purchased this phone in a pinch, the new Motorola phone I had just bought suddenly quit working while I was out of state. I bought this as an inexpensive replacement to get me thru the job I was on. It performed well and I didn't have any issues with it

    Purchased for my husband, this was a BIG upgrade from his flip phone. Edwin at Best Buy Avon, Ohio did an excellent job with activation and set up. We got a great price on sale from Best Buy. The phone is simple and does what it's supposed to do. Very happy with purchase.
