The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a fantastic value for its price. Its sleek Blue Black design looks premium and feels great in hand. Performance is smooth, with fast 5G speeds and reliable multitasking. The camera delivers vibrant shots, and battery life easily lasts all day. With 128GB of storage and unlocked freedom, it’s a smart buy.

The Galaxy A16 5G is a very good option if you're looking for an affordable, modern, and functional phone. From the first use, I was surprised by how fluid it feels for tasks like social media, browsing, watching videos, or even playing some light games.
The screen has a good resolution and vivid colors, ideal for viewing multimedia content. The 128GB storage is more than enough for apps, photos, videos, and music, and it also has the option to expand with a microSD card, which is appreciated.
Another strong point is the battery, which easily lasts me all day with normal use. Plus, being 5G and unlocked, it connects seamlessly to any network with good speeds.
As for the design, the Blue Black color looks very elegant and modern, and the phone doesn't feel too big or too heavy in my hand.
Overall, I think it's an excellent phone for its price range. I highly recommend it for those looking for good performance without spending too much.

The Galaxy A16 5G is an excellent budget-friendly phone that doesn’t feel cheap. The 6.5" display is bright and responsive, and the 128GB of storage is more than enough for apps, photos, and videos. It handles everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, and messaging with ease. The design is sleek—especially in the Blue Black finish—and the phone feels comfortable to hold. While the camera is decent for casual photos, don’t expect flagship-level quality. Battery life is solid, easily lasting a full day with moderate use. For the price, it’s hard to beat!

It's been a month since i started using this device. Coming to samsung after a decade and they have improved very much on most of the aspects. Display looks good, battery lasts for whole day for normal usage. good amount of storage. only negative is the slow processing but for this price range it is okay. not tried for any gaming but very good for daily normal usage.

I dont like, this is my second one, i had to return the 1st one because it wasnt charging fast and was taking forever to charge and had to almost always leave it on the charger. I dont like how you cant pinch the screen to make things bigger to look at. Sometimes the screen changes on you and you gotta go back to your text to finish it it or back to your page, the phones feel like they get warm. Had trouble withbthe other phone but this one seems to be doing the same thing too even not charging fast but its supposed to cause its made to and the setting is turned on. There is also no way to turn off 5g like there was on my old phone which was a samsung galaxy s9 plus. I do like how the back of the phone and screen feel as in it feels like it would be protected if it was dropped but i don't know if it would be. I also like that the screen is big. I dont recommend this phone because of the charging and how it gets warm and the battery doesnt last all day.

I’ve been using the Galaxy A16 5G (128 GB) for about two weeks, and I’m really impressed. The battery life is excellent — it easily lasts a full day or more with regular use. The screen looks bright and clear, and the large storage space is a big plus for my apps, photos, and videos. Overall performance has been smooth and reliable for everyday tasks. Yes, I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone looking for a dependable mid-range smartphone.

I purchased this phone from BB. It has only been a couple of days but so far I like the phone a lot. My last phone was a MO TO that I had for almost 5 years. It was slowing down and no updates since Android 11. I like the idea that this phone will get updates for 5 years. I'd give it five stars with the following exceptions... It only comes with a cord and no plug. The on off switch on the side has a fingerprint reader on it and it takes some to get used to using. The phone is quite thin and I have big hands. That makes it difficult to hold. I just ordered a case - hopefully that resolves my issue. The other thing that is a little annoying is that it is very symmetrical which means when you pick it up you cannot tell if you are holding it screen side up or down. I have to look at the phone to be sure I'm holding it right to hit the finger print sensor. Another issue I hope goes away with the case. I'll update after getting the case. Some complained about speed. I have no issues there but I am not a gamer.

Performance is smooth, and apps run without lag. The camera takes sharp and detailed photos, especially in good lighting. Overall, it’s a fantastic phone for the price, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a budget-friendly yet powerful device!

I was looking for a backup and didnt want anything too expensive. I’ve had Samsung Galaxy Notes before and liked a lot of their features. Overall build quality is nice. I wasn’t expecting high performance based on the ram and price. It functions great for handling only a couple apps at a time. Battery life is awesome. Overall i would highly recommend.

This is an incredibly good phone for the price. I decided to go back to android from my iphone se 3rd gen, and this was a great choice. The A16 has a great screen, higher resolution, faster refresh rate, and better battery life. The performance may be a bit less snappy, but it's certainly a solid phone for emails, browsing and videos. For $200 this phone is an absolute gem, even moreso on sale for $175.

I've had for 1 month almost. So far I am enjoying it, especially the battery life and screen. If I have a few apps open at once it might start to lag, only having 4 gb of ram, so I try to close out apps frequently. Just have to keep expectations in check, this is a >$200 phone when on sale.
