    Very impressed with how many features this has at its price point — the OLED display, a 50 MP camera, eSIM, and more. Good phones are getting cheap and cheap phones are getting good.

    It should be illegal to sell a phone that is this slow. Screen is fine memory is fine The processor is absolute garbage. Open up more than two apps in the thing just has a seizure. Android auto is even worse. Go ahead and upgrade to the next level a 36 or a 56 or do what I did and go ahead and get yourself up S25FE. I had no idea the difference in phones. This S25FE blows that A16 out of the water do not waste your money on this phone get a better one

    A Solid Budget Upgrade from the S8

    Upgrading from the Galaxy S8 to the A16 5G feels like stepping into a more modern, no-frills zone. While it doesn’t have the premium glass-and-metal build of the S8, the A16 makes up for it with practical features and surprising value. f you’re moving from the S8 and want something inexpensive but capable, the A16 5G hits the sweet spot. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, efficient, and surprisingly future-proof. Most important it excepts MicroSD cards.
