    This phone ,A16, is the worst phone I have ever owned in my life, period. It's slow, lagging, not responsive, very difficult to use it for anything. I just have to delete most of the app or it will not even run, it definitely not worth the money, please, don't waste your hard earned money on this. Samsung products are usually very good but why they made such a junk like this, unbelievable.

    This may be an ok phone as your kid's first phone (or grandma's last), but if you're trying to do anything serious, you'll be incredibly frustrated. It lags horribly. You can literally count the seconds between button press and reaction. Switching between apps is painful. Unless you're only working one app, this phone can't be used for gig work. I am returning mine and getting the A25+ instead. The only upside is that it is one of the few phones left that allow you to add an SD card.
