Good simple affordable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the size and simplicity of the phone. I do notice sometimes the phone will lag and freeze up when texting or navigating through a web site. I restart it daily. Pretty happy with the phone for what I paid for it.

This phone has been great to use.

Posted by: Linlav
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone more for shopping, gaming, email etc.., than as a phone. It has a beautiful display, all is nice and clear. Handles games really well. I love the features it offers, ie.. wallet, saved login info, the Galaxy AI is great too. Very happy with my product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone was great when I first got it but after the first update it's been going downhill fast. The UI system fails everyday, the Sim card is not recognized and it's just very disappointing. I've had it looked at several times but it still failed me. The worst part is I only purchased it in February 2025. I keep trying but I think I got a lemon and would appreciate a new one.

Good price but hard to type
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: Adasgalaxy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Galaxy A16 5G at a discounted price, and for the cost it performs fine for calls, browsing, and everyday apps. Galaxy AI adds some helpful smart features, especially in the camera and suggestions. My main issue is the screen being so smooth that swiping on the keyboard often goes wrong. The wrong words keep popping up when I swipe with my fingers, and typing becomes frustrating. Overall, it’s an okay budget phone with Galaxy AI, but the swipe‑typing problem is why I rate it 3 stars.

Good day Adasgalaxy,
We’re happy your Galaxy A16 5G suits your daily needs and that Galaxy AI enhances your experience. A notable feature of the default Samsung Keyboard is its high level of customization. You can change the language, layout, themes, size, feedback, and even add custom symbols. To modify your keyboard settings, go to Settings, search for Samsung Keyboard, or tap the Settings icon in the keyboard toolbar. If incorrect words appear when using swipe, you can disable this feature. You can also add your most used words to help the keyboard learn your typing style, along with many other swipe customization options. The main aim is to improve predictive text by learning your typing habits. If you prefer, you can turn off the feature. For more tips on customizing your keyboard, see the online resource below. Your feedback on swipe sensitivity and keyboard accuracy is valuable in enhancing the device’s usability and comfort. We appreciate your input and thank you for choosing Samsung.
