[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to use the Samsung A16 5G primarily for daily activities and it's quite reliable. Often, I need to set alarms and events that are important or need reminders. I would definitely ask for a higher video quality on YouTube or other streaming apps. I believe that the interface is simple, sleek, and easy to adjust to. The "gaming features" of this device offer a range of insights on how to improve or navigate play. I would like a samsung operated texting(SMS) service to provide a more ensured or legitimate messaging experience. The sound quality on calls are clear and I have no issue conversing with individuals on this phone. I would like to ask for more internal storage; especially for those that are content creators, reviewers, or are technological savvy. The hand-touch ratio or speed of loading could be improved. My main issue is certainly the lag, as it is spontaneous and a setback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's AB.
Eautiful phone, it has a nice screen and and it has a faster 5G network faster than my 854, and it has better camera resolution options. And I like it because it's water and dust proof and it has a lot more features than my previous phones.

REAL REVIEW OF THE NEW SAMSUNG A16 5G
on February 17, 2025
Posted by: INK3DSAVAG33
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G isn't trying to outdue the S series by anymeans. It's not packing the latest cutting edge technology or using a revolutionary camera system that no everyday person is going to use. Instead, it delivers a solid, reliable, and affordable 5G experience, and in that regard, it succeeds admirably. This is a dependable device for everyday use. In my opinion The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a great option for those looking for an affordable 5G smartphone that covers the basics well. It's not going to blow you away with its performance or features, but it delivers a solid, reliable, and long-lasting experience. If you prioritize battery life, 5G connectivity, and a clean user interface, the A16 5G is definitely worth considering. It's a practical and sensible choice for everyday users.

No where near powerful enough
on February 18, 2025
Posted by: FromPlanetBob
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simply put, this device is no where near powerful enough. While running android auto with maps and YouTube music, I could not really use the phone to check a message. It's too slow and resource constrained.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R, February 21, 2025
Ciao FromPlanetBob,
Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience with the Galaxy A16 5G. This device is designed to deliver smooth performance for everyday tasks while allowing you to personalize it to suit your needs. If you're noticing that your device is becoming glitchy or slow, try cleaning up its memory to enhance performance. To do this, go to Settings, swipe to find Device Care, and tap on it. Then, select Memory and tap Clean Now to free up memory by stopping background apps. If there are specific apps you want to keep running in the background, you can add them to the Excluded Apps list to ensure they don’t close when you use this feature. Remember that your RAM plays a significant role in how you interact with different applications, as some apps require more RAM than others. You can also utilize the Multi Window feature, which allows you to use multiple apps simultaneously, making it easier to have everything you need on one screen. For more information on how to set this up effectively, a detailed article will be provided. We hope these tips help you optimize your device for the best performance. Thank you for choosing Samsung! -Ty

This product has great features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The "seamless actions across apps," "Now Brief," or "Audio Eraser" features are great. I use my Samsung device(s) – for streaming, movies, work and more. My daily routine consists of passing time watching movies and editing videos, things I couldn't do without these features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the 90 hertz. The 5000 mah battery is great the OLED display in a budget phone is good as well. Samsung delivers again and for a great price.
