    A Solid Budget Upgrade from the S8

    Upgrading from the Galaxy S8 to the A16 5G feels like stepping into a more modern, no-frills zone. While it doesn’t have the premium glass-and-metal build of the S8, the A16 makes up for it with practical features and surprising value. f you’re moving from the S8 and want something inexpensive but capable, the A16 5G hits the sweet spot. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, efficient, and surprisingly future-proof. Most important it excepts MicroSD cards.

    I can't really knock off too much considering all Samsung phones come with "features and apps" preinstalled that I would rather be without, but the phone works well if you're like me and you don't really need it for much else besides basic apps, web browsing, and phone calls. Definitely a great value product.

    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.

    I love my A16 5G Galaxy cell phone because it is very user friendly, which makes it fun to use. It has a lot of versatility and functions to use and adapt for other functions. An unlocked pho e is a good idea if you already have a wireless plan, but only need a new cell phone. You are paying for a phone you can afford and want. Storage on phone is plenty and more than others. The size of the phone is just right.

    The performance of this phone is terrible. Everything is super laggy there were constant delays with inputs. Trying to open/close apps would result in undesirable actions. My 6 year old phone I was replacing is snappier than this phone. While the resolution was good on the camera, it would lag so badly that it was hit or miss whether the picture would actually be taken. The screen is good and videos/pictures look great once they loaded. Battery life was good, as would be expected on a new phone. Cannot recommend this phone. Was a waste of $200.
