This Product is a good phone as it's samsung
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Unigem67
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do use the galaxy ai quite a bit and I love this feature. I had to switch from my Galaxy note 9 to the galaxy a16 due to affordability at the time but I miss my note 9 as it held a lot more data than this a16 and for the work I do I need a phone with lots of data and memory. The a16 is a good phone but just not enough for what I need to do for work etc so as soon as I am able to afford the newer galaxy note phone I will be switching to that.

Great device
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Best4life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy A16 5G for a bit now, and honestly, it’s solid for what it is — a simple budget phone that does the basics well. The first thing I really like is the screen. It’s bigger and brighter than I expected for the price. Watching videos or scrolling socials looks good, and that 90 Hz refresh makes it feel a bit smoother than older budget phones I’ve owned.
Battery life is probably my favorite part. I can easily go a day and a half, sometimes two, without hunting for my charger — huge plus if you’re out a lot.

Hi there Niik316,
Thanks so much for sharing how your Galaxy A16 5G is doing! It sounds like a software update could really help keep your device running its best.

We recommend checking for updates whenever a new version is available to ensure your device stays in great shape. To do this, simply swipe down from the top right corner of your screen and tap the Settings icon. Then, select "Software update" or "System updates," and tap "Download and install" or "Check for updates." If there's an update available, it will download automatically—just tap "Download now" if prompted. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation, and you should see your device work even better! Thanks again for your kind review.

Very good picture and battery life
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Scarecrow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My galaxy A16 5g is a very nice phone with a vivid screen, and long battery life. My only complaint would be it's a little to laggy when doing multiple things such as gaming.

A bit slow bit gets the basics
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Fireball13red
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a bit slow, this makes multitasking difficult. The phone also doesn't have very much storage. It gets the job done but I wish it was a bit better.
