Slower Than a 2023 Moto G
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to upgrade to the Samsung A16, expecting at least a modest improvement over my previous Moto G 2023, but unfortunately, this phone's speed has been a disappointment. The A16 constantly lags and gets stuck, making even basic tasks frustrating. Scrolling through apps, switching between screens, and even typing can feel sluggish. What’s most surprising is that despite being two years newer, the A16 actually feels slower than my old Moto G. Looking at Geekbench scores, my A16 has a single-core score of 853 and a multi-core score of 1824, compared to my Moto G 2023’s 745 and 1779, respectively. On paper, the A16 should at least match my old phone’s performance, but in real-world usage, the A16 feels noticeably slower which makes it hard to use comfortably. Aside from the underwhelming speed, the phone does have a decent screen and camera for the price, but I simply can’t recommend it due to the poor performance. I understand that a budget phone isn’t going to be a powerhouse, but I at least expected it to perform as well as my old Moto G. Sadly, that’s not the case.

The Worst Phone I've Ever Had
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.BUYER BEWARE: DON'T LET THE ALLURING CHEAP PRICE FOOL YOU, It costs this much for a reason!!! TL;DR: This phone is a bad option, save a bit more for something that will be 100x better, or just buy something refurbished instead. A few months back, my old 2022 Motorola Moto G 5G (which i would recommend getting instead of this) quit on me after about 2.5 years with me, and I was devastated. I saw one and picked it up due to the price and because of the fact it had 128 GBs of storage, but I should have thought twice about it, and I should have done my research. This phone is INCREDIBLY SLOW. Sometimes, it will take multiple taps just for the phone to not even open the correct app file, or scroll in the right direction. It gets incredibly bad when once the CPU has been hit with a heavier load. The screen will begin to lag and freeze up, making inputs either not register, or take 5 seconds. This can barely run with no apps in the background, and the phone goes crazy once you have a couple open. It also takes about 10 seconds for a screenshot to happen, and with something like a video, you may have to rewind to screenshot the thing you wanted to screenshot. The battery is also not great, the battery will discharge at an incredibly quick rate when under a bit of load. I can be at nearly 20 percent at 8 PM, which is incredibly bad. This is somehow worse than that 2.5 year old Moto G with a shot battery. That's not to mention that the phone gets very hot once put under load that most phones could take easily. Lastly, this phone misses a few features that my old phone had, namely a headphone jack is gone, the box doesn't come with a charging block, and lacks a screen recording feature (but knowing this phone, if it had one, it would explode anyways.) I regret getting this phone. There where other options, like getting something else for a bit more, or just replacing the damaged components on my old phone for much cheaper. This phone has at least been a learning experience that I should do research and take look at consumer reviews for a phone next time. This phone barely qualified as a smart phone due to it's lackluster qualities. What was Samsung thinking?
