[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my device for streaming music, Bluetooth, gaming, and to keep up with my business life. My review or issues with the GalaxyA16 5G is I've had nothing but constant issues with it and it's definitely not what I expected out of a phone. Currently I've been experiencing it running extremely slow and lacking apps even after a factory reboot. I give this phone 0/5 stars and don't recommend it to anyone. Galaxy AI has been a great thing to use when I've needed it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just recently purchased a Galaxy A16 5G and I am genuinely pleased with what I paid for. All the features give me extra utility throughout the day, Galaxy AI is easy to use and useful. I like think of it as my personal assistant. This device gives me everything I want and need in a phone without the price of a flagship device.
