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.

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

This phone is perfect for someone who doesn't need lots of bells and whistles, but wants more than just a phone. It does run a little slower than I expected, but still does the job. Just need to be patient as it moves from screen (or app) to another.

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

It gives good everyday performance, solid battery life, and reliable 5G in an affordable package. If you want a basic phone that handles apps, photos, and daily use without paying for premium features, it’s a great value.

I was hesitant buying a cheaper phone, but like alot. Fast and great battery life. Only con is not water resistant, but glad I made choice. It offers a few years of updates which sold me.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a solid budget phone with a clean design and long-term software support, but its limited RAM (base 4GB) and sluggish performance make it better suited for basic to intermediate use rather than heavy gaming.

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.

Pretty average phone. Kinda big for one-handed use but that's okay. I like the long battery life compared to my iPhone 6s. The cameras leave something to be desired but they are not as bad as they could be on an Android. Aesthetically: the big chin and camera notch look dumb. Functionally: not sure why the headphone jack is missing and they only put one speaker in this. Could've easily made this phone the flagship of budget phones in my opinion.

The mobile phone is good and worth the price. Battery life lasts around 24 hours. It takes a little longer to fully charge compared to my other Samsung phone.

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.

This phone was purchased for my daughter and so far it works well and has better battery life than an IPhone. She is happy with the phone and the features.
