Posted by: Monteman420
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only thing good about this phone was the a I galaxy. Other than that, this phone has been a headache.A big waste of money. I type one thit spells out another and I forgot.I back and redo it. About 10 times a day.I get you i'm not available and the phone shuts off and then another half of the day it won't make calls. I tried to take it back and they offer nothing so I would not purchase this phone

Bonjour Monteman420,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us! The Galaxy A16 5G was built to give you a dependable experience, especially with its 5G connectivity. If you notice some delay in responsiveness, it might be due to some common reasons like apps running in the background, a screen protector, or a phone case interfering. We know how frustrating it can be when your Galaxy phone or tablet freezes or crashes, but the good news is, often, there’s no need to send it in for service. Simple steps like restarting your device and keeping the software updated can make a big difference and help prevent future issues. To get started, check for any available software updates, which often fix performance complications.

The phone since day one has been very slow
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: O3P4G7
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My device runs pretty slow, even when I had recently purchased it, it was slow. I have more than enough storage and close all my pages to see if that would help and nothing. I purchased it thinking it would be a good phone for the price but it was not even close to that.

Hey Victor,
We appreciate your feedback regarding the A16 5G. Featuring a sleek design and versatile functionalities, the Galaxy A16 5G distinguishes itself with a stunning 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display and a slender 7.9 mm chassis, rendering it suitable for a diverse range of users. While individual experiences may vary, customizing settings can optimize your device's performance. Equipped with numerous new features, such as AI-modeled intelligent functionalities, your device can achieve enhanced performance levels. Although this particular model has not yet undergone the full rollout of Galaxy AI, a variety of innovative options remain accessible. If concerns about hacking or potential compromise arise, there are measures to secure your device. For instance, only downloading applications from the Galaxy Store or Play Store, and refraining from clicking malicious links within applications, messages, or emails, are prudent steps. Managing application permissions is an effective and straightforward means of safeguarding your device. If an application appears suspicious, it is advisable not to grant it access. Upon installation, you will be prompted to allow or deny specific permissions; respond accordingly. Permissions for unused applications are reset automatically, and re-authorization will be requested upon subsequent use. To revoke permissions manually, navigate to Settings, select Apps, choose the Application, then Permissions, and modify the allowances under Allowed. Select Don't allow or toggle the switch as appropriate. Repeat these steps for each permission. For additional guidance on identifying security threats, such as unsolicited pop-up advertisements or connecting to unsecured Wi-Fi networks, please refer to the links provided below. Staying informed remains the most effective strategy to preserve your device’s security. Thank you for choosing innovation with Samsung!
