This product has great customizations
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: SamsungGoat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For school purposes the product allows me to customize scheduling test times and homework dates easily. I also can use the alarm system to properly make creative events and quick notes. I love the video wallpaper idea where I can use a video as a wallpaper it helps.

Not ideal for impatient people
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Notafan1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone was absolutely awful prior the update. Slow to respond. So slow I would have to wait 15 minutes for my spotify to start playing music. It is much improved since the last update but I wouldnt recommend this phone. The A15 is a better/faster product for the around the same price.

Hi, and thank you Johana,
We truly appreciate your feedback! Your insights on the Galaxy A16 5G mean a lot to us.

Key specs include the Exynos 1330 processor, expandable storage, and 4GB of RAM. Plus, it has RAM Plus, which cleverly uses some of your storage to create up to 4GB of virtual memory.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Galaxy 16I love the death. I like the power it has. I like the way it goes from app, I don't have nothing wrong with it nothing ever goes wrong with it. The AI P2 is very nice and I love what it does with the new picture of AI. My phone is great, I wish I had more like it.

The system ui freezes and shuts down
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Cheyyy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has been running kinda slow and lagging shortly after I got it. Once I had downloaded quite a few apps is when it happened but there wasn't too many apps in there that it should have been going that slow. Now when I play my certain game, that works fine on my other phone, it freezes often and a screen pops up to shut down system ui. It then will lock my phone and shut down the app. Sometimes it is hard to unlock the phone or sometimes I have to completely restart it. Overall though the memory is good and the camera is good. I have Gemini (AI) on here and I love it. I would like to get the full version on chat GBT. You can use it to help you with anything you can think of, ask questions, learn things, and it's even like talking to a human. I also like how there is the regular apps and the Samsung apps.
