      Hey JuliaP, thank you for finding the time out of your day to share your sentiments with us about your Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to provide the best products with superior functionality on the market to our customers. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Whether you're using a phone, tablet, smart watch, or earbuds, all Galaxy devices have a set temperature range, where they operate at their best. While they may feel warm under certain conditions, like charging, this does not affect the device's lifespan or performance. However, if your devices get too warm, it could cause some issues. Although your Galaxy devices may get warm sometimes, they have built-in safeguards to alert you and protect themselves if their temperature exceeds the normal operating range. Check out, "Keep your Galaxy device at its normal operating temperature" to learn about the factors that may affect your device's temperature. There could be a number of reasons why a Bluetooth device may randomly disconnect from your Galaxy phone or tablet. It could be that the device has a low battery, was moved too far away from the Galaxy device, or the Bluetooth function was accidentally turned off. Also, check out "Bluetooth device won't stay connected to Galaxy phone or tablet" to help resolve what you've described to be experiencing with your connectivity. Thank you for being a trustworthy Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung

    Samsung - Galaxy A16 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - Blue Black is the best. I have used it for about 3 months now and i'm loving lots of features on this phone. I look forward to purchasing the same product for a family member soon.

    I am replacing an s8+ and this is comparable and a really great deal. I love the size as well. Plus it can run apps that my old OS couldnt. Manage your expectations, it is a little slow sometimes but it works well enough for me.

    Nice phone except it is so slick and thin it is hard to hang on to. You really need a case/cover to offer better grip. The phone works as it should on 4G and 5G. Battery life is as expected and will last with normal use for 24hours or more.
