    This is a very good phone. The only issue is coming from a Galaxy S22 to this A16, i definitely notice the speed difference. The battery life is great and its a great phone, for the money.

    Amazing phone for the price. I was looking for a solid phone at a low price point and saw many good reviews on this model. It has the look, feel and speed of a much more expensive phone. It took some time to set up (mainly removing pre-installed apps that I'd never use), but there are multiple layout options to choose from so you can customize it as you like. One minor annoying feature is that when you automatically sort apps in alphabetical order, folders are placed first, regardless of their order in the alphabet, and it can't be adjusted manually. I tried organizing all the apps by hand, but if the automatic sort option is disabled, the display format changes from scrolling to pages.

    Excellent overall performance. The build quality feels premium, and the device handles multitasking smoothly. Definitely worth the price.

    I love my new phone! It's so easy to navigate the settings and get what I need quickly. The color is a beautiful light gray. I don't like black phones so I was very happy this color was available. Its not a top tier phone, but it does everything I need. I don't play games, use it for music. Great Samsung product!

    Great phone! It was open with no issues to go with AT&T carrier. My husband got it first to try it out and now we've gotten one for our son as a Christmas gift. It's affordable, easy to work and does everything we need it to do. Purchasing online with store pickup was easy, efficient and seamless.I would buy this product again and buy via the website with store pickup again.

    excellent product. a few cosmetic changes from my prior samsung galaxy, but i adapted very easily. It is fast and has more than enough room for the apps I have. I am glad to have bought it. A big thanks to the team member who helped me. He answered all my questions and offered insights to things I had not thought of.

    Perfect device for my son who is 13 years old. I love Samsung cell phone. This one is realible, fast, and cost efficient. I coupled it with an otterbox case - super sturdy. Makes good economical sense. He does a lot of streaming of videos and music and texting, but not too much gaming on it.
