Galaxy a16 5g
on November 7, 2025
Posted by: RealbutterOne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this phone for multiple reasons! The tap to pay functionality is amazing especially with the new installment payments using Samsung wallet. This phone has more memory than I know what to do with or need which I love because I'm constantly downloading new apps and playing games daily. Amazing resolution on pictures plus the aforementioned storage! Between work and personal use, I couldn't ask for a better, more affordable phone! Also if you have Samsung products to pair with it, the list of things it can do is infinite. With AI as well, I love how things are easier to search for especially when I'm having trouble searching for exactly what I want. It's like AI knows me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always loved Samsung devices any other device brand. I still love Samsung because they are a reliable brand. My phone has taken a few hard falls and it still works like I just got it. Galaxy AI is ok I guess. I don't really like AI.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy ai is the best . It tells me anything and does basically anything I ask. This phone also has great battery life. The gaming features are really good. It streams movies really well as well. The camera on this phone is surprisingly good too. It takes clear pics. I also love the way you can customize basically any feature of the phone. And the Galaxy store beats iPhones store

Slow processing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Slow processing. Requires restarts when it stops. Sometimes Requires a hard restart. Fragile screen. I expected more from a phone this new. Galaxy AI is somewhat limited in its abilities.

Maybe it needs an update?
on November 7, 2025
Posted by: Doliyoung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the new phone.
The size is great. Big enough screen, great colors, light weight.
I am still searching around to find things and seeing how the phone works differently then my last (buttons in different places, mechanics of apps are different) which is fine. I just have to get used to the new system... but first day, the phone is lagging a little. I am wondering if it's because of the new apps and sign in info and having to approve and accept permissions. I also.havent had time to make sure the OS was updated..I was just so excited, I turned it on and started downloading!

Setting up isn't difficult, but there is still a lot to do. I am very excited about the phone...
