    Very slow lagged a lot straight out the box but for the price not horrible. It also told you at 2% when it was low which I liked. Fell from chair height and screen stopped working but no cracks.

    My second Samsung Galaxy. My old phone was okay. But decided to upgrade with this model. I am very glad I did. Samsung has created so many features that it will take time to navigate it all. You tube has a few videos that really helps. Thank you Best Buy for prompt delivery. It wasnt easy to find in stock item. For this price point fab phone.I highly recommend.

    The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G satisfied my expectations. The quality of resolutions, sounds, and speed are the three most important for me doing my daily work. Budget wise is excellent! I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

    Let down

    This has a fairly good screen. It has a lot of Samsung bloat, more than my previous Samsung A13, and none of the Samsung apps can be disabled or uninstalled from the Android "apps" settings. Phone sizes in general keep getting bigger and this one jumped the shark, for me it's just too bulky to carry comfortably in my pocket and the awkward squared edges make it harder to handle. Performance isn't any better than my old phone, I often have to tap something twice to get it to respond. Fingerprint sensor works well so far. Old phone camera had PDAF, this one steps back to AF, pictures are good enough & I'm glad they kept the macro lens. No FM radio or headphone jack, but better water resistance if you drop it in the sanitary facility.

    This phone does not support two physical SIM cards: Only one physical SIM and the other is an eSIM. The bigger slot is for memory card. International versions support dual physical SIMs.
