This phone is disappointing. I can simply put it in the garbage and walk away. It is hard to use, hard to organize. It has its own logic different from any other phone. I swipe a thing then another thing goes. I am not cross-eyed or something.. I can't find apps in the icons anf have to type their names in the search window...

Very good device, The software is extremely optimized for a cheaper phone, but is lacking in build quality. The back of the phone is a glossy plastic, especially the black color can scratch with minimal use, and if you don't use a case it will get extremely scratched. Overall, very happy with my purchase of the A16 5g

Fantastic to see how much you are enjoying your A16 5G, especially the incredible software! One UI allows you to open up the possibilities of the Galaxy, with the incredibly intuitive interface that makes carrying out tasks a breeze. We make every effort to use high quality materials when creating our devices, however, we cannot guarantee that they will remain damage free in all scenarios. We would recommend pairing this model with the case of your choice to prevent scratches. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, we're sure this phone will be impressing you for years to come! ^SK at Samsung Support

Debated between the A16 or more expensive S range models. Optted for the Samsung Galaxy A16 and I'm not disappointed. The performance, display and seemingly endless options of personal preferences are brilliant. The camera functions are extensive to edit too. Highly recommend it.

Needed an upgrade to my phone so opted for Galaxy A16- as one of my grandsons has one and it seem relatively easy to operate. I find it to be an easy to use phone, haven't used all the apps but have found the phone to be good size clear screen, great choice of ringtones , the camera takes decent clear photos and videos. The battery is relatively quick to charge and the overall performance of the phone is excellant compard to my previous phone.

We wouldn't expect you to be having issues with the battery life, as you have a huge 5,000 mAh battery capacity, which is supported by the processor, along with Super Fast Charging support. If you're experiencing issues with lagging, first perform a soft reset of the phone, as this can resolve glitches. Press and hold the Power and the Volume Down keys together, and keep holding for about ten seconds or so.

My last phone was a samsung s8 which lasted me 7+ years so I decided to stick with samsung. So far the battery life is really good I only charge it every other day where the s8 (with it being old) was charged twice per day. I prefer the larger display and don't have to put glasses on to read messages. It was fairly easy to connect to WiFi. Performance wise the A16 seems to be slightly slower than the s8 but nothing to bother about. On thing I do like is this new fangled Ai stuff on the camera where I can erase anything I don't want in a picture.. So far I'm happy with the A16

I don't use my phone as much as many people, I keep it all simple - but I like Samsung and now that I've sorted it out and added what I wanted, I'm happy with it. One or two frustrations but that is probably me!

Generally a good quality phone for not a lot of money. Performance is generally good and the display is sharp. Connectivity is good and phone is instantly reactive to hand movement. The camera is good and produces great images. The battery doesn't hold a charge as well as my previous Samsung phone but it is adequate.

Its by far the worst phone I've had. Okay, Its cheap, but it's also very, very slow. I use a phone for very basic needs and it struggles to do even those. I would recommend to anyone to NOT buy one.

The processor speed is quite slow. Connectivity is very impressive though. Camera is average but lacks options. Battery is very quick to recharge and display is on a par with previous own models.

Always love the photos I take with my Samsung phones. It is however the first phone I've had that gets warm to the touch. Battery power isn't great I have to fully charge it every day/night and it is low by the end of the day.

I bought this device as it is shown to have ASHA and would connect to my hearing aids for streaming and calls. It doesn't allow streaming to my hearing aids at all as described.
