Great cell phone!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with my new Samsung Galaxy A16 phone! It has been extremely easy for me to add apps and delete those I didn't want, and it does everything I need and more! I am still exploring all the many ways to use it, and look forward to learning to use the camera and the many other ways I can use it to enhance my cell phone experience. I have been very pleased with the service department at Best Buy when I have brought in my laptop also and plan to refer all my friends whenever they are looking for a phone or laptop.

I got Great Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to take a cheaper phone on vacation rather than my regular phone. Best Buy had this bad boy on special so I got me one. Yes the phone is not as snappy as my more expensive phone, but for a whole lot less, I can live with it. The Camera is good, the screen is clear and bright enough, Battery life has been great. All in all for the price I paid, i'd say I got great value for money.

The Galaxy A16 5G is a steal! Runs smoothly for ev
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the Galaxy A16 5G, 128GB. Solid phone for the price. Smooth performance, great battery lasts all day, and love the six-year update promise. Camera's decent in daylight, but night shots and gaming could be better due to limited RAM. Overall, great budget buy!

Slower Than a 2-Year-Old Moto G
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to upgrade to the Samsung A16, expecting at least a modest improvement over my previous Moto G 2023, but unfortunately, this phone's speed has been a disappointment. The A16 constantly lags and gets stuck, making even basic tasks frustrating. Scrolling through apps, switching between screens, and even typing can feel sluggish. What’s most surprising is that despite being two years newer, the A16 actually feels slower than my old Moto G. Looking at Geekbench scores, my A16 has a single-core score of 853 and a multi-core score of 1824, compared to my Moto G 2023’s 745 and 1779, respectively. On paper, the A16 should at least match my old phone’s performance, but in real-world usage, the A16 feels noticeably slower which makes it hard to use comfortably. Aside from the underwhelming speed, the phone does have a decent screen and camera for the price, but I simply can’t recommend it due to the poor performance. I understand that a budget phone isn’t going to be a powerhouse, but I at least expected it to perform as well as my old Moto G. Sadly, that’s not the case.

Great gadget for the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Efficient, great value for the money paid. Works just as well as my very pricy samsung galaxy s24. Wondering why I'm paying so much for other phones. This phone does great and originally bought one for travel(unlocked) but now I've bought another to gift as well. Camera and screen are comparable to my regular phone, although i will say that after restarting or first powering onn it does take about 10 seconds of lag, after which it runs just smooth. I dont mind those 10 seconds, I usually dont fully power off the phone anyhow. Pictures and videos are wonderful as well considering the price paid.

New A16 and Best Buy customer service
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The phone is new, so yes it's working better than the previous one I was using. A lot of space has already been used and I can't figure out how since I havent even gotten started on videos and photos for work (realtor). I will use until it needs upgrading and then probably switch to a larger capacity more flasy version. Its nice and im able to use it for email, open house announcements, pics videos and zoom/meets/teams work. Im upset with BB because I really needed help xfering data and apps. They want $100 bucks to do it. Rip off...just help your customers instead of trying to gouge them! You have the resources in store to sit with me for 15 -30 minutes and xfer the data so I can have my new device work and contain all my information. That would be well rounded service.

Works in India and exceeds expectation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Samsung Galaxy A16 5G 128GB unlocked phone for my father visiting from India, because the Redmi phone he carried from India didn't work here with T-Mobile prepaid sim. This phone worked perfectly no issues. I checked with Samsung reps if this is work in India and they confirmed it will work in India as well. Waiting to see if it will. This phone is dual sim. One is eSim and one physical sim. Quality is really good for the price. Super Amoled screen in this price range is impressive. It's splash proof only but you can't expect anything beyond at his price range.
