I really don't like this phone.
on June 30, 2025
Posted by: MastaaMonkey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason I got this phone was because my other Galaxy phone's screen stopped working. So I ended up having to supposedly get an upgrade. The reason this phone was chosen is that because I am a Diabetic this was one of the only phone's that I could use the Libre 2 plus and the Libre 3+ Diabetic Sensors with. Because Libre upgraded their sensors I needed to be able to have a phone that was compatible with the New Program that the sensors work on. Now for the phone it self, every time I set up my screens the darn phone wants to change my layout of what applications where kind of deal. Then I have to go into it and change everything back to where I want it. At that point it will be good for about 3 - 10 days and then switch to whatever layout it wants to and I have to go back into it and change everything back to how I had it set up. It also keeps wanting me to set up a home screen with one of 2 applications that I don't even use. So what the heck, that's a pain in my rear end as well. Besides all that extra work I have to do on it every 10 days I would have to say it's a good phone but not a Great phone. Sorry I didn't give you the totally positive review but I was under the impression that you wanted me to be truthful about this review. For your Galaxy A16 5G, Sometimes when you add all the bells and whistles to something it becomes way to much. You just don't need some of the pre-installed stuff on new phone's these days. Give people the option to keep it or delete it.

Phone is just okay.
on July 1, 2025
Posted by: domaidl
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to buy this phone out of necessity because my Zfold 6 needed repair and I couldn't be without a phone for a long time. This was the one I picked that was cheaper than other ones. It runs slower then my Zfold. Hesitates a lot of times when you use it. The "Galaxy Al" I just don't use because I don't like it. So I guess you get what you pay for it. I would only recommend this phone if you can't afford anything better.

My amazing new phone
on July 1, 2025
Posted by: Deadhead88
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a big samsung fan since my first samsung phone a galaxy a20 and the followed with the a21. But I must say after I wiped my tears from mourning my old phone and went to get my new one I was excited. The anticipation of what the possibilities of new features and new ui and Ai that I might receive. This phone exceeded my expectations and has quickly become my new addiction, from the fresh approach to the user interface to the camera which still retained the modes I grew to love on my a21 to the massive amount of storage I now have I just can't seem to put it down. It's the first thing I grab when I wake up and the last thing I touch before I sleep. It's sleek, light, fast, and in a lovely sensible color that isn't super flashy but is quite eye catching. I truly do love this phone and thank you to the team that designed and built it.

Samsung highly recommended
on July 1, 2025
Posted by: Travis
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vast majority of my phones I've had are Samsung, highly recommended. Right now, mine is the Galaxy A16 5G. Personally and professionally, it's a brand that has made everything easier for me. And now that my kids are fascinated with everything related to Galaxy AI, we're about to support them with the best update for their own phones! They deserve it.
