[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is the best thing ever now! The phone is a reasonable price and great at what it needs to do for me! I watch videos lots of Facebook scrolling! LoL! 👍 Lots of Instagramming ECT. Love how it does not lag ever and also how I can use my Samsung wallet and pay with just a tap! Gemini is amazing! Big thumbs 👍

Wouldn't recommend
on October 14, 2025
Posted by: Chivolocs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So the best thing about my galaxy a16 is the galaxy Ai. But other than that im not to pleased with the phone. First off the touch screen is not as good as I think it should be as sometimes have to touch screen a few times to get what you want pressed pressed. This is my second one because my other one went out after just 5 months . The screen just stopped working and went black on me. Won't get this phone again, and im a Samsung guy .

This device you get what you pay for
on October 14, 2025
Posted by: Nia2001
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is exactly what you pay for. It's similar to othe budget phones. It works well with both us and international carriers. However, I had to replace one due to the wifi not working and this one the screen is flashing black at random interval. Apart from these issue the phone works just fine.

Good phone, good features just a little slow
on October 14, 2025
Posted by: 1Lovesamsusung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my opinion it's great phone for the price. Not a phone for too much multitasking, as ram is limited.Samsung AI, although limited capabilities, works awesome. I would recommend this phone for someone just starting out.
