    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 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.

    Very easy to use, a perfect cell phone for the person who is not extremely cell-phone focused, but is wanting to use it for emergency or piece-of-mind contact. Quality with all the features necessary to make it a good choice. Has internet connectivity. Great alternative to other high-priced cell phones out there. Highly recommend this phone and would buy again.

    After having used my new Samsung A16 cell phone, it is NOT as fast as I initially thought. MANY TIMES, I get frustrated when the cell phone DOESN'T respond as quickly as I would like. In addition, the battery drains quite rapidly. I would NOT recommend the Samsung A16 cell phone to anyone.

    Bought my mother this phone as a step up from an A15. Great phone for older people that just need the basic apps with a bit more speed. Make sure to purchase the phone extended SD card.
