Best Phone Ever
on July 12, 2025
Posted by: ReddGreen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love Samsung phones! I've had many but the A16 takes the cake. It has a smooth quality and makes my days all the more better! It fits so many photos and apps so the storage is like no other. Also, so many options for a personalized experience to make a phone fit your personality! When in doubt try the Galaxy A16, promise you'll love it.

Just as good as the S series!
on July 15, 2025
Posted by: HarleyKay8199
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always had a Samsung Galaxy S series phone as long as I can remember. Never thinking of getting the next newest Galaxy S phone until mine completely starts lagging or not doing what I want it to but doing whatever it wants. This time, I couldn't get my Galaxy S and was told the Galaxy A series are exactly like the S series, just more affordable than the S series. Still hesitate, thinking I know cheaper doesn't always mean it'll still function like a more expensive one, and hearing my Grandpa say "remember one thing as you go through life and you'll never have to make a decision on choosing anything again, and that is "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!" And that means cheap is cheap and higher priced is longer life!"
I of course chose the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G!! And I couldn't be any happier with this A16 than I would be if I'd gotten the S25. Samsung has kept the operation, speed, quality, sound, agility they always have with every other phone I've had through the beginning of cell phones. Samsung kept all the higher priced qualities of the scientific series phones when developing the A series phones for lower prices. I love the speed when browsing, storage space is great, using my phone for my online courses or call of duty model don't matter which picture is sharp and flow of class or play is smooth as always. Vibrant colors for work or play, the front and back cameras take lively vibrant clear focused pictures even selfies are clear and vibrant.

This phone is so easy to use!!
on July 15, 2025
Posted by: Karmaluvsu69
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy A16 is my new phone, and it has been super easy to learn to use. It even came with the cord I needed to transfer my apps and data from my old phone. I am also now experiencing this new AI information. The AI info combined with some investigating on my own is making the use of my new phone fun, awesome, and not a headache. Great job, Samsung!

My truth about it
on July 19, 2025
Posted by: MainRene
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prefer my S22 ultra, but since my june update its been glitching and crashing. So got this as a temporary replacement. Not bad for a basic phone. Memory capacity not bad. Just hate the freezing when switching through multiple apps.

First Samsung phone
on July 25, 2025
Posted by: Courtney
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with my Samsung Galaxy A16 5G The camera pictures are excellent. Really love the magic editor feature with the AI Gemini. There is one thing that I dislike about my Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is that I have to have the same notification sound for my text messages for my Gmail for my games. The same sound! I feel like I'm constantly checking my phone and I think it's a text message but know if it's a game or I think it's an email and it's a text message or I think it's any game and it's neither. I don't understand why I can't have a separate notification sound for my Gmail and a separate notifications and for my text message and separate ones for my games.

Worst product ever from Samsung
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Venki55
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Touch screen freezes many time. Device is poor in quality.
I didn't face any such issues in my previous Samsung device. It's completely not worth.

Hola Venki55,
Your insights on the Galaxy A16 5G are really helpful! When your Galaxy phone freezes or crashes, it can be quite annoying, but the good news is that most concerns can often be fixed easily at home. Simple steps like rebooting and keeping your software up to date can make a big difference in preventing these problems. To check for updates, just swipe down with two fingers from the top right corner of your screen, then tap the Settings icon. From there, go to either Software update or System updates, whichever your device shows. Tap Download and install, Check for system updates, or Check for software updates, depending on your carrier. If an update is available, it should start downloading automatically, though on some devices, you might need to tap 'Download now'. After the download, follow the prompts to install the update. Staying current with updates helps keep your device running smoothly and efficiently. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and being part of our community—Samsung!

Great Features, Lacking Camera Quality
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Excelsior
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a budget phone during my stay in SK, and it was great! Compact and had everything that is characteristic of a dependable samsung phone. The only lacking quality was the camera, which I personal thought was too limited or grainy. I liked the new Galaxy AI features and it made navigation incredibly streamlined!
