    I did not like this phone. It looks nice and has enough storage, but it is too slow. It takes a long time to open apps or move between screens. This made it hard to use every day. I thought a 5G phone would be faster. I would not recommend it if you want a phone that works quickly.

    Try to return as a plus member at Lake Jackson TX but refused because plus or total member can’t get extended period return for all phones as local store CSR told but it’s doesn’t make a sense for pay extra plus membership or total membership.

    Overall solid phone for the price. Suggest a soft phone cover, as the screen cracks pretty easy. Doesn't seem as durable when compared to higher end models.

    Drop down box appears when I'm in another app and the phone is ringing it gives me the option to answer it but the person on the other end of the line cannot hear me and we often get disconnected. Does not tell me when I have a new text msg. Very unhappy with this purchase. I want to get another phone. I sure hope I can return this and get a different one.

      Howdy User524393, thank you for sharing your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to make improvements on the performance and functionality of our product line.

Please feel free to check out, "Microphone issues with Galaxy phone or tablet" to help resolve what you've described to be experiencing with your device. If you would like any further assistance afterward, please do not hesitate to contact Support. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra Samsung

    This is a very slow phone. My old phone updates and charges in literally half the time. I do the updating on wifi and depending on how much needs updated you will need to find something to do it's going to be a while, no phone should need 20 to 30 minutes to update. And to charge even from just 50% you'll need about an hour and a half.
