Overall a Winner
on May 13, 2025

I have an A16 5g with 8g/256 gb. I am coming from an A72 which I still love but I fear the supports have stopped. I was disappointed in the specs about this camera compared to my A72 but this is double the speed & storage so overall, a win. And rumor has it, it will be supported until 2030.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I ordered a new Samsung A16 5G to replace an older Samsung A series. I didn't need the more expensive S series and this phone is perfect for my needs. Works well, decent camera, and plenty of storage for my needs. I definitely recommend the A16 5G to everyone who is looking for a basic phone without all the extra unnecessary features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Experience that comes with Samsung
on May 31, 2025
Posted by: Keedrauhl
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to continue using Samsung.
When I switched from my LG device and the experience of using Samsung was impressive, the first thing that I enjoyed the most was the Smart Switch functionality, it was superb andsmooth. And the second thing that blew my mind is the samsung wallet, it was really amazing experience that I have enjoyed using.
Last thing I enjoyed using is the Galaxy AI, It is very convenient when searching and translating for me.
