It's ok but not as fast as I need it to be
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: MrsLegitt
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a decent phone especially if u dont download a ton of apps. I do, so it is pretty slow and I have to restart it a lot. Galaxy AI is a helpful feature especially when it's acting up. It's a good phone in all . I think i just am use to better ones. That means it's time for an upgrade.

Nice phone but gliches & freezes.
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: 1LonelyLoner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is alittle confusing but working on it. I usually use the phone for streaming, games, the camera and call making. I find the phone isn't very durable and glitches and freezes ALOT. Needs to be restarted alot. Could really use more storage space aswell. Its mediocre honestly.

This phone is ok
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: Sabre23b
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the galaxy AI and some Samsung features but this phones processor is slow and the camera needs help. Otherwise this and the television from Samsung work very well together and I can use this phone until I can get a newer one.

on December 5, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 5G device, A16 5G is probably one of the most underistimated device I ever had in my life!
Most of tge prepaid carriers in USA as well almost all the providers give it for free when you sign in for a line!
The device given free primerly send a massage that its not a premium phone, but the reality is different!
Outstanding Ram, caneras, ability to add an SD card, works on physical and e sims. Its just an amazing phone.
I've been using it for almost 8 months now and it never seize to amaze me.
In addition to all that, the Galaxy AI capabilities introduced with this device ake it an outstanding device to possess.
The AI greatly helps in transcription, translation and speak to the phone capabilities!
