Overwhelming
on August 20, 2025
Posted by: 987654
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone was overwhelming with ads. Whenever I would (at least think I was) send a message and ad would pop up when I hit send. I was in dire need of a phone and my monies weren't right. It was too large for my personality I returned it back after two days (even the store didn't want it back) fortunate for me it was a promotional free phone. Just wasn't impressed with this particular SAMSUNG phone.

Hi There,
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your experience with your Galaxy A16 5G! It’s great to know you’re exploring the messaging options. The latest Galaxy phones come with Google Messages already installed, and you can also easily download Samsung Messages from the Galaxy Store. Both apps are designed to be friendly and easy to use, making sending messages to your contacts a breeze and a pleasure. Some carriers have their own messaging apps, and there are plenty of third-party options too. Just a quick note, if you download multiple messaging apps, you’ll need to choose one as your default. Keep in mind, third-party apps might display more ads and pop-ups, while Samsung Messages typically keeps things clean without ads. To help you set up your preferred messaging app, check out the helpful online guide linked below. We truly appreciate your review. We hope you enjoy exploring all the fantastic features of your Galaxy A16 5G! Thanks for choosing Samsung; you’ve made a wonderful choice!

Expertise:Intermediate
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this phone to start doing deliveries. It was unlocked, budget friendly and had more than enough to get me going again. It is big for small hands but the one-handed feature was a nice find. it has a fast 90Hz display which makes things smooth howvere I use 60Hz as it's more than enough. The 50MP Mode for the camera takes worse photos than the 12MP mode. I have yet to understand why. Also, the flash for the camera sometimes goes off before the picture is taken and can even cause weird glare or overbrightness on photos taken. Otherwise it's used simply as a phone. I don't game on it, I don't surf the web. Make calls, send text and download any app required for day to day living.
I would recommend this to a friend!
