Let down
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has a fairly good screen. It has a lot of Samsung bloat, more than my previous Samsung A13, and none of the Samsung apps can be disabled or uninstalled from the Android "apps" settings. Phone sizes in general keep getting bigger and this one jumped the shark, for me it's just too bulky to carry comfortably in my pocket and the awkward squared edges make it harder to handle. Performance isn't any better than my old phone, I often have to tap something twice to get it to respond. Fingerprint sensor works well so far. Old phone camera had PDAF, this one steps back to AF, pictures are good enough & I'm glad they kept the macro lens. No FM radio or headphone jack, but better water resistance if you drop it in the sanitary facility.

Gahhhhh, it's not a vibe at all.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m literally crying. My parents got me the Samsung A16 thinking they were doing something, but this phone is a straight-up disaster. If you actually use your phone for more than just checking the weather, DO NOT GET THIS. The Lag is Insane: I try to open TikTok and the whole screen just freezes for like 5 seconds. By the time the video loads, the trend is probably already over. Scrolling is so glitchy it makes my eyes hurt.Multitasking is a Joke: If I’m on a video call and try to open Instagram, the phone starts heating up like a space heater and then just crashes both apps. 4GB of RAM in 2025? Samsung, be for real right nowThe "Wait" Screen: I spend half my life looking at loading circles. Even the keyboard takes a second to pop up sometimes. I literally have to type slow so the phone can keep up with me.
