    Had to upgrade my S10e Samsung after 6 years because it wouldnt take an update any longer. We chose 2 Galaxy A16's which do what we need on the phone, however, they are a bit slower to react to commands. Have only had the phones a month, so hope we get used to them. I did not want to spend $1000 for a phone.

    I bought this phone on June 14, 2025. It's a very nice budget phone considering I just moved from using an iPhone 11. However, this phone will not work with Verizon's 5Guw, but will work with T-Mobile's 5Guc. I just switched from T-Mobile to Verizon and that's how I found out. The phone doesnt have the necessary hardware to handle Verizon's 5Guw and will just show 5G in the top right corner of screen. Ultimately, I would refer people to this phone.

      Howdy DuzntMatter, thank you for taking the time to share your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. We value your candor as we continue to improve the functionality and performance of our product line. Before you can start enjoying 5G, please be aware that its availability in some areas may be limited, however, more and more 5G infrastructures are being built, which means additional carriers will have 5G availability as time goes on. Verizon, in particular, supports nationwide 5G at speeds similar to LTE, and 5G Ultra-wideband (UWB) that can deliver higher speed data. Feel free to check out, "How to use 5G on a Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet" if you would like to learn more. If you have questions for us or if you would like any further assistance, please let us know by contacting Support at your earliest convenience. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra Samsung
