The a16 is a great phone, BUT
on July 22, 2025
Posted by: ODDZILLA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the a 16 usually for just texting phone calls, and I use it for AI and Galaxy AI. It's processing is really good, but it does freeze up a lot or if there's too many things open. It completely slows down the phone I have to restart this phone a lot and sometimes it's just really than that though, it has fast processing power, if that has a lot of cool features its cool.

Hello there ODDZILLA,
Thank you for sharing your experience with your Galaxy A16 5G! It’s wonderful to hear about the many great features it offers, like smart, intuitive options and impressive battery life that can handle long gaming and call sessions. Sometimes, during heavy use, you may notice it slowing down slightly; that’s completely normal. When that happens, a quick optimization can work wonders! The Quick Optimization feature helps boost your device’s performance by identifying apps that consume excessive battery, clearing unnecessary files, scanning for malware, and closing background apps. It’s easy to give your phone a little boost, go to Settings, tap on Device Care, then select Optimize now and tap Done. For some extra tips on keeping your device in top shape, feel free to check out the online article, “Keep your Galaxy phone or tablet from slowing down with Device Care,” linked below. We truly appreciate your review and are grateful to have you as a Samsung customer!

This A-series Galaxy is great for anyone who...
on July 22, 2025
Posted by: SparkNation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So if your a galaxy fan like I am then you odviouslty are excited by this new A16 5g! It's large screen is smooth and sleek, as well as puts off an amainzing image. Samsung really hit it out of the park on this one. If your one whom uses your phone for streaming, excessive calling, or lots of texting, or even music it's wonderful to have,! The updated "Galaxy AI" system that comes stock with te device has really gotten better wit being more adaptable as far as :ing discrkltive. The accuracy of the diffetñodes and routines are astonishing, I mean obviously nothing compared to the S-series but still quite impressive none the less! I definitely recommend this device!

Honest review
on July 23, 2025
Posted by: Crowfire
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone's been pretty good but my fingerprint sensor has gotten scratched and was not reading my thumbprint hardly anymore and it has frozen up on me several times and I've had to restart the phone but it might be because of too many apps opened or something I'm not for sure. But overall I'm pretty happy with the phone for the price

This is a good phone. The problem I have is the older Samsung music will play windows media format. This newer phone will not play windows and i had several hundred songs in that format. Now i don't have all my songs to listen too on this phone. It is very disappointing to me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Howdy Conn,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Galaxy A16 5G! It's wonderful to hear how the combination of power and convenience makes this device special for you. About the WMA files, newer devices have moved away from supporting this format, but you can easily find alternatives on the Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy Store. We're really happy to hear you’re enjoying it. Innovation for all, and we're grateful you've chosen Samsung!
