I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G (128GB) from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier! The phone is fast, sleek, and has a beautiful display. The 5G connection is super quick, and the battery easily lasts me all day — even with heavy use. The camera takes clear, vibrant photos, and there’s plenty of storage for my apps, pictures, and videos.
Best Buy made the whole process smooth and easy. The staff was helpful, answered all my questions, and made sure my phone was set up before I left. The price was great for the features you get — it feels like a premium phone at an affordable cost.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with both the phone and the service at Best Buy. Highly recommend the Galaxy A16 5G for anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and affordable smartphone!

For an inexpensive option, this samsung model is great and works just fine. I add my own sd card and use for added storage capability. This is a great phone for anyone, especially those needing internet or email anytime. Just be sure to get a hood phone case as samsung phones need them. Camera acceptable and good battery life

I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G from Best Buy, and I’m really impressed. The phone feels solid, the 128GB storage is perfect for all my apps and photos, and the 5G speeds are fast enough for streaming and video calls. The screen is bright and clear, and battery life easily lasts a full day even with heavy use. Best Buy made ordering easy, and the unlocked option gives me flexibility with carriers. Overall, a great value for a budget-friendly phone!

The phone is really good for people who don't want to spend a lot of money but they still need a bigger phone and good battery and a good screen

I got this phone as a second for my work, i wanted something inexpensive that still had some nice features! I am blown away really! My primary phone is an iphone 15 pro max, ive always had iphones and am fully immersed in the apple ecosystem, but let me tell you i am pleasantly surprised by this base model phone from Samsung! It makes me wonder what the flagship models of samsung have to offer! To me for basic tasks theres really not too much of a difference between my two phones which now is making me question why i pay thousands for the top of the line iphone when in reality this model samsung or the mid range a35 would probably suit most peoples needs and the price is significantly less! Obviously there are some differences and im not saying this $200 phone is beating my 15 pro max, but i am saying, its much closer than you would think! It also has expandable memory up to 1TB. I would give this phone a shot if youre on the fence. They told me the re stocking fee was $45, the phone is $200, if you have to return its not too much of a loss that i think its worth the jump! If youre an older person looking for a sleek phone thats easy to use or a younger person just looking to save money I dont really see the hesitation with this choice! Great job samsung!

Great phone. My 75 year old mother loves it. She finds it easy to use and its small enough to hold comfortably in her hand. Takes amazing photos

I was not impressed with this phone. The processor was lagging, sometimes didn’t even run some applications. Phone overheated on mutiple processes. Decent value for what you get, though.

After 7+ years of using Pixel phones, this was the first time buying a Samsung product. The Galaxy A16 5G has been a long overdue change, and I wish that I'd switched sooner!
