Decent For The Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a decent phone for the price. However it can lag at times because of only 4GB of ram and only 90hz refresh rate. The display is good but not as great as advertised. The back is not glass as it appears to the eye but really good plastic; so good it can be mistaken for glass. I think this is a decent phone but would of loved to see it with at least 6GB of ram. 6-8GB of ram should be industry minimum in 2025.

INCREDIBLY SLOW - DO NOT BUY
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Trust Samsung
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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it and I think I'll get one for myself because my A50 which I'm extremely attached to and still works so very well, is obsolete.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.

Great phone for a great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great budget phone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
