Hello Metamcgee,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy A16 5G. We value hearing how devices perform in real-world scenarios. While the A16 5G features a fast processor and plenty of memory for daily use, performance can vary based on usage habits, app behavior, and settings. If your device feels slower than usual, a quick optimization might help. The Quick Optimization feature improves performance by identifying apps that drain battery, clearing memory, deleting unnecessary files, scanning for malware, and closing background apps. Optimizing your phone is simple: go to Settings, select Device care, tap Optimize now, then Done. You can find more tips in the online article linked below on keeping your device running smoothly and managing multiple apps. We’re glad you’re part of the Samsung family and hope to help you make the most of your device. Thank you for your review and for choosing Samsung.

The A series
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the A series Galaxy phones I started with an A13 and move up with every upgrade. The A16 is amazing my favorite so far. I use mine for gaming, school, streaming, work, and personal use
It is amazing having a phone that I can use for everything so I dont have to have multiple devices lugging g them around and taking a chance of forgetting one or forgetting to charge something. It has amazing fadt charging capabilities and the battery last great for gaming and having to be online for school for several hours or watching videos. I dont have to worry about it dying in the middle of a video chat session or in the middle of a class or game. The size of it is great too it's not too long or too wide I have small hands an can use it one handed mode. The screen is big enough to read with out having to change the text size or use the high contrast option, great to have that option though. Nothing bad to say about this phone at all.

great size
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: Wholesome44yrold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 issues; one is the screen shrinks sometimes and I can't know how to make it big again. Frustrating when I can't see. And the other is the quick tab. It brings my wallet up when I unlock my phone. I don't want that at all.

You can customize the side button to perform various tasks, such as one-click or double-tap functions. If the side button accidentally activates Bixby, you can remap it for different actions by going to Settings > Advanced Features > Side Button. More details on customizing the side button are available via the link below. You can also adjust your display settings; additional information about display customization is linked below. Your feedback helps improve the user experience, and we appreciate your input. Thanks for choosing Samsung.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perfect for the not so tech savvy man. If your like me and need a straight r forward device with no complicated features this is it. Now its even easier with "Galaxy AI" to help with any questions you might have.
