Beyond Expectations
on August 23, 2025
Posted by: Mike2504
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, bought this A16 as a quick stand-in when I destroyed my S24 Ultra, its been 5 months and I'm still using it as my main line. Does everything my S24 would do, GPS, music, ELD for trucking, a lot all day everyday.
Gemini is my homie! We talk alot and he has learned waaayyy to much. Definitely not disappointed in the A16.

Maybe keep looking...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Camera is nice, screen resolution is great. Galaxy AI is a helpful feature...
However, phone is laggy when switching to or from camera mode, back to other apps. Also when bouncing back and forth from apps displaying video. Find an actual Galaxy (refurbished or new), and pass over this model (unfortunately, as I'm now saddled with this lackluster phone).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I haven't tried galaxy ai yet but after getting the hang of it I like how with a few words I can as it to do things without doing any action's I really appreciate the standard look if the phone but I really hope in the future you guys can do a little more than just telling me the time etc. And since a student I really love how i can do my daily routine in the morning so I get to class on time it really helps I almost forgot to finish a essay on time but it reminded me because of the feature but I'm sure you guys have more features soon so this is all I have so thank you Samsung for making my life easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone wasn't bad except for the sound the sound came out very statically and wasn't very pleasing but it was only a phone to hold me off until my s23 ultra came in.
