Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the Samsung A16 phone, the camera is great and the battery life is good. The only issue is the phone gets too hot when charging and the screen refresh rate is slow

Who says you need an iPhone? This phone is great for the everyday tasks. Decent battery life, great screen for the price and a big screen. Some limitations and lack of speed but if you dont care about having the very ultimate this will do just fine.

I'm pleasantly surprised with how good of a phone this is despite it being one of the least expensive options at best buy. It's sturdy, fast, the camera is great and I haven't had any issues or little things that are annoying about it like I've had happen with other phones that cost more. Both my teens that are haters of android like it too and said they would choose this phone over there usual iPhones that are starting to have problems. If your debating on getting this phone but skeptical on the quality because the price is low, it's a good phone. I have dropped it multiple times already and even accidentally ran it over with my bike (I'm not light) and it's some how not damaged at all I bought the cheapest phone case best buy had and it is holding up really well too.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a budget-friendly smartphone with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, smooth performance for everyday tasks, and a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery. It has a 50MP main camera that takes decent photos in good lighting but struggles in low light. While it’s not ideal for heavy gaming, it offers six years of software updates, making it a great long-term option for casual users. If you need a reliable, affordable phone with 5G support, this is a solid choice.

Phone is slick and works well for the price. The features and ease of use was something I wasn't expecting.

there are certain things I miss about my old phone that the new one does not do, like having to press ok after typing in your pin number... Did not have to do that before. It send messages to my email instead of where it is supposed to go. but other than that it is a good phone. Nice screen and pictures, lots of GB room. Good for my purposes

With blazing 5G speed, a vibrant display, reliable battery life, and a stylish design, the Galaxy A16 5G delivers premium features at a budget-friendly price.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly unlocked 5G smartphone with solid fundamentals — large AMOLED screen, good battery, from a trusted brand with long-term support — then the Galaxy A16 5G (128 GB version) is a very good pick. It strikes a strong value.

Camera is very good, battery life is great, overall a great phone

Very easy to use, a perfect cell phone for the person who is not extremely cell-phone focused, but is wanting to use it for emergency or piece-of-mind contact. Quality with all the features necessary to make it a good choice. Has internet connectivity. Great alternative to other high-priced cell phones out there. Highly recommend this phone and would buy again.

Samsung - Galaxy A16 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - Blue Black The product is good, considering the price. Great photos and ease of use. The technician, Ricky, who transferred the data from the old smartphone to this new one was excellent

The Galaxy A15 5G works great for everyday use. Battery lasts all day, screen is clear and it's fast enough for basic apps. Great value!

Bought the Galaxy A16 5G, 128GB. Solid phone for the price. Smooth performance, great battery lasts all day, and love the six-year update promise. Camera's decent in daylight, but night shots and gaming could be better due to limited RAM. Overall, great budget buy!

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.

This Samsung phone is perfect for us older folks who want a reliable unit with options to text, shop and surf the web. I love the features and the simplicity of it. A great buy@

I wanted to take a cheaper phone on vacation rather than my regular phone. Best Buy had this bad boy on special so I got me one. Yes the phone is not as snappy as my more expensive phone, but for a whole lot less, I can live with it. The Camera is good, the screen is clear and bright enough, Battery life has been great. All in all for the price I paid, i'd say I got great value for money.

I purchased Samsung Galaxy A16 5G from best buy. The purchase was very smooth and took very short time. I loved the product. The display and camera are impressive.

This is an excellent phone for everyday use. It is a nice size with a clear display. Very easy to use with lots of options for personal preferences and ringtones.

solid consistent durable smooth operating phone without spending lots of money long battery nice camera

I think I can repeat a lot of the concerns other people had. Given that this us a new phone, it should perform much better than it does. The processor speed is not good and you will notice laggy, slow performance. Even with virtual RAM (only 4GB available), there is not enough memory to keep background apps open. I just fought for over half an hour to log into a bank app because I would request a text or call code, just to have the app be closed automatically and have to start the process all over again. Playing games is extremely difficult unless you close all other apps first, otherwise even simple animations cause lag and stuttering framerate. The screen is a good size and the phone is fairly inexpensive, but you're much better off buying a refurbished, several years old Galaxy S series for a comparable price or less. Check your options, because this phone is incredibly frustrating to use.
