Good is u don't use a lot of apps
on October 11, 2025
Posted by: Pozey81
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still trying to figure out the whole “Galaxy AI” thing, but that being said I do prefer the Gemini over my assistant. I did notice my battery life was great I could get 3 days without a charge. Now I'm charging sometimes several times a day. Especially if I have to use my android auto or any of my bigger apps. It also needs to be restarted at least twice a day or it starts running very slow

Not a bad phone for the low price.
on October 11, 2025
Posted by: GlassBones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a fan of Samsung phones for many years now. I will not purchase any other brand. Recently when I dropped my phone in water and needed a quick replacement I purchased this A16 5g. All in all it is a decent phone for the low price. It has a lot of the same features as the more expensive models, including AI features through Google. It has 128gb storage, which for me is plenty. The downsides are it is not capable of wireless charging and it does lag, close apps, or just freeze up sometimes.

Hi Glass Bones,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing how your Galaxy A16 5G is performing. It’s great to hear you're enjoying its features. If your device slows down, lags, or freezes, it’s usually because multiple apps are competing for resources. The Quick Optimization feature enhances performance by identifying apps that drain battery, clearing unnecessary memory, deleting unwanted files, scanning for malware, and closing background apps. To optimize your phone, go to Settings, swipe to Device Care, tap "Optimize Now," and then tap "Done." For more tips on keeping your device running smoothly, check out the linked online article below. We appreciate your loyalty and thank you for choosing Samsung.

A great phone to stay current in the times
on October 11, 2025
Posted by: HeadyPayne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is great for the run of the mill regular usage of the average person. But where it excels is the price for a phone that also lets you be up to date in the latest trends and apps. Gaming runs smoothly, and it has wonderful resolution for streaming as well. I am a die hard galaxy advocate, and with the new Galaxy AI, I can obtain information faster than I ever have been able to before. Thank you Samsung for another prize possession and another Best Buy.

Samsung Galaxy A16 Series Cellular
on October 11, 2025
Posted by: HopefulLadysWish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like AI if that's the Avitar I made. I wish my Phones valume was better than it is in my A16 that could be improved. I have Alexa I Love using that alot,for music and more. I use my phone for mainly calling,texting,and doing Google searches. I was looking at the newer phones and noticed that all of them are small like this. I prefer them a bit bigger with great sound, Motorola has the best sound less updated ringtones,Samsung I wish for all the devices to have that great sound. When my Valume is all the way up in my purse if it rings I don't hear it, or sometimes can barely hear it ringing. The Speakers need better high tech louder than ever Sound. I even have mine on for hearing impaired still has horrible sound. Newer Ringtones would be nice However my main concern is the sizes got small and the Sound quality isn't great even with using hearing impaired! I used to own a Motorola,they haven't really updated the phone on ringtone but the quality of sound is the best. I hope you take my consideration on better Sound Quality maybe changing to better sound speakers. I also hope that the phone size get bigger like my old A14 I still have but gets hot when charging and using it. This A16 is smaller sound quality isn't great. I have only had this phone for 8 months! Please bring back the taller,bigger size phones. I Sincerely hope you consider the upgrades on better Sound Quality improvements bigger,taller phones,more ringtones.
