This device product has great features I enjoy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI. Using the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G has been a joy! As someone who multitasks a lot between work, school, and family I have found this phone to be reliable, fast, and smart.
The 5G connectivity is a game changer for streaming, browsing, and downloading files quickly. Its sleek design feels good in the hand, and the large screen is perfect for videos and reading.
Battery life? Exceptional. The 5000mAh battery easily lasts me a full day and more, and the fast charging keeps me going when I need a quick top-up.
Performance-wise, it’s smooth even with multiple apps running. I also love the side fingerprint sensor; it’s fast and convenient. The camera produces sharp, natural photos that I enjoy sharing.
What I appreciate most is that it gives premium performance at an affordable price. Thank you, Samsung, for creating a device that meets real-life needs without compromise.

A16 is perfect for the everyday phone
on June 30, 2025
Posted by: Wictor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The A16 over exceeds my expectations for a cheaper phone. I use it for more than just calling and text like the occasional game, investing on the fly, and social media. I love the new features of Galaxy AI and how it integrates into my life so seamlessly for ideas on how to reply to tough situations, cooking ideas, research and more. This A16 can handle it all and more than I need. Great phone for the price they ask for. Thank you Samsung!

Not so happy with this model
on June 30, 2025
Posted by: Spaceymushrooms06
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got a new Samsung galaxy A16 5G 2025 phone after I broke my Samsung galaxy A54 5G a couple months ago. I was expecting this new A16 to be just as good as my A54, but I have not been impressed at all. This A16 has been a pain in my buttocks. It's very slow and lagging when trying to do anything, the call clarity is not good even when I have the full service and bars. This phone doesn't like to pick up my fingers in certain spots on the screen, but when I check the diagnostics on it everything works great!! I am not happy with this A16 at all, I would much rather have my old galaxy cause it worked way, way better. I can't wait till I can upgrade my phone again that's for sure!!!

Response from Samsung USBy R&R, July 1, 2025
How is it going, Spaceymushrooms06,
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback regarding your Galaxy A16 5G. We truly understand the importance of smooth performance, responsive touch, and clear calls in your daily routine, and we appreciate you bringing these aspects to our attention. Your firsthand experience is invaluable as we strive to deliver a seamless and reliable Galaxy experience to all our customers.
We recognize that the touchscreen is central to navigating your device, and it can be concerning when it becomes unresponsive. Fortunately, there are simple ways to restore functionality if your touchscreen is frozen. Certain factors can influence touchscreen performance—please consider the following when using it:
- If you have a third-party screen protector or accessory attached, it might impact functionality. This is particularly true if dust or air is trapped beneath the protector, if multiple protective films are layered on the screen, or if the film is peeling near the edges.
- Wearing gloves, having dust on your fingers, or using your fingernails or a pen can also affect touch sensitivity. Additionally, keep conductive objects, like coins or keys, away from the screen.
- Restarting your device can often resolve minor glitches. For further guidance on dealing with unresponsive touch screens, please refer to “Touchscreen challenges on a Galaxy phone or tablet.” A link will be provided to assist you.
If you find that the sound quality during calls is diminishing, possibly due to background noise or difficulty hearing the other party. In that case, it may be related to cell coverage or your device’s settings. A damaged SIM card can also impact call clarity. Please check your SIM card for any visible damage and ensure it is reinstalled correctly. To do this, turn off your device, use the included ejector tool to access the SIM card tray, inspect the SIM card, and reinsert it securely.
Your comments will be shared with our product teams to help us continually enhance and innovate our offerings. We hope you enjoy exploring the Galaxy family and the myriad possibilities it offers for staying connected and inspired. Thank you for being a valued member of the Samsung community.
If you notice that your phone is becoming less responsive or experiencing delays, it may indicate that a software update is available. To check for updates, open the Settings app on your device, swipe to the Software Update or System Updates section, depending on your model. Tap ‘Download and install’ or ‘Check for software updates.’ If any updates are available, they will begin downloading, and you may need to tap ‘Download now’ on some devices. Once the download is complete, follow the on-screen instructions to install it. For additional tips on maintaining your device’s performance, refer to “Samsung phone or tablet freezes and crashes,” with the link provided below.
We are committed to ensuring that Galaxy devices meet the diverse daily needs of our users, delivering reliable performance and seamless operation.
