      Hey there RoseM, thanks for providing us with detailed feedback regarding your experience using the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. Mobile 5G service is only available in certain cities but will be available in more cities soon. If you are in a coverage area, the device may switch to LTE during periods of heavy use to maintain optimal device performance. Whenever 5G coverage is unavailable, your phone will automatically fall back to 4G or 3G speeds. Check if your phone is displaying the 5G indicator on the status bar. If it isn't, your phone is using either 4G or 3G. The 5G indicator's appearance will vary based on the carrier. Please feel free to check out, "How to use 5G on a Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet" to help resolve what you have described to be experiencing with your connectivity. If you have any questions or if you would like further assistance afterward, please let us know by contacting Support. Thank you for being a staunch Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung

    I did not expect much when I got this phone. I knew it would not be as good as the higher grade ones. For the most part, it's OK at best. If you plan to have apps on it and have ANY load on it, it will lag, stop working, and sometimes restart on its own. It is good for phone, and maybe news apps, anything heavier than that and the performance will start degrading drastically.

    This may be an ok phone as your kid's first phone (or grandma's last), but if you're trying to do anything serious, you'll be incredibly frustrated. It lags horribly. You can literally count the seconds between button press and reaction. Switching between apps is painful. Unless you're only working one app, this phone can't be used for gig work. I am returning mine and getting the A25+ instead. The only upside is that it is one of the few phones left that allow you to add an SD card.
