Neither an upgrade nor a downgrade

I upgraded from the note10 after I dropped it too many times and the touchscreen stopped working. I like this phone, but I do miss the s-pen and sharp edges. Also, I'm surprised by how fast this is for it's price.

Hey Staopy,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy A16 5G. It’s great to hear that the performance stood out and that it has been fast and smooth for daily use. Shifting from the Note can definitely feel different when you’re used to the S-Pen and the design. Many Galaxy users appreciate how each device line offers its own unique strengths, from speed and battery life to smart features and handling. We’re glad you’re enjoying the responsiveness and reliability of your new phone. Thanks for being part of the Galaxy community, we’re always excited to help you stay connected to the things you love. Thank you for choosing Samsung.

One of the worst phones ever!
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: Baysfinest
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the worst phones i have ever owned. Definitely top worst samsung phones. It is slow. It freezes. Overheats. It shuts down all the time. I can barely answer a phone call or even make one. I absolutely hate this phone and cant wait to get a better one. The only thing that seems to work almost always on command is the galaxy ai.

Hello Baysfinest,
Thank you for participating in the Galaxy review program and providing valuable feedback on your Galaxy A16 5G. We’re pleased to hear that the smart features are working consistently and responding well to commands — it's great to use smart tools for messaging, planning, and everyday tasks. When a device manages multiple apps, storage load, or heavy background activity, performance can fluctuate. Software updates and device care settings often improve speed, cooling, and efficiency over time. The A16 5G is designed for reliable daily use, and most users find that it supports calls, browsing, and social apps effectively. We appreciate your input and thank you for helping us enhance the Samsung experience.
Keep your Galaxy device at its normal operating temperature

This phone is bunk
on November 11, 2025
Posted by: CINDISUE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung this phone is one of ur worst phones yet. It takes 45 secs to unlock the phone at times. Twice during an emergency. There's nothing special about this phone and if you like cool features upgrade,don't waste ur money buying this one it will disappoint.

This is a great phone for the working man/woman

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI on this phone is incredible. I use the AI multiple times a day. It has most of what the higher end Galaxies have. I love this phone.
I use it to stream music all day long and do most of my shopping with it as well.
I highly recommend this phone.
