This phone will last
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: Sophiesmomma
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have upgraded my phone recently but I used the A16 for almost 3 years without any issues. It had plenty of storage and I was able to do anything and everything I needed to do with that device. While I had it AI had not really started taking off in my area so I did not use it for that but I played lots of games completed jobs for my work even made invoices and did taxes on it. If in market for a very reasonable phone with great features try this phone. Or great for you fosters middle high school age kids. Who says I phones are all they are cracked up to be. I'll stay with Samsung for good

Amazing phone
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: Redqueen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this phone! I've always enjoyed Samsung... But cannot afford the newer ones. This phone has been amazing for the price that I paid. It's easy to use and super easy to customize thanks to both the Samsung and Google platforms.
Cant wait until I can afford a newer model!

Respone isn't all that good
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: GalaxyGeek2132
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first came across Galaxy AI when I had my s23 I mean truth be told the S series is my favorite types of devices to use I downgraded recently because my phone was stolen so I'm able to see you the difference between gameplay and response time and other things but I still had to go with the Galaxy phone because in my opinion they meet expectations and compete with any other phone out there without even trying. I was aiming to get the s25 but I have to wait for that but I'm patient and even if they come out with a s26 it's not going to stop me from getting in the s25.

Nope whack
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: Itsg3ttnHaddaNhur
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the worst Samsung have ever owned. It's really slow and the reception is terrible. Ive had it a week and already cracked the screen. It's just awful.

Not too different than the A14
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: 5DISHEREBUTDEPARTINGSOON
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I watch a lot of YouTube, check my email, search the web, connect with others on social media, & I stay informed by what is really going on in the world since the news just lies & spreads fear thru the masses.
