Worst phone I have had in the longest time. It is super slow and glitches constantly!! The volume and power buttons don't work alot of the time and apps run extra slow.
R&R - 20 days
Hello CASSIE, Thank you for sharing your experience with your Galaxy A16 5G. If you've noticed that your phone is slowing down over time, using the Quick Optimization feature to improve performance might be a good idea. This feature enhances your device's performance by identifying apps that consume excessive battery power. It removes unnecessary items from memory, deletes unwanted files, scans for malware, and closes background apps. Optimizing your phone is quick and simple. To do this, go to Settings, swipe to and tap on Device Care, then tap Optimize now, and finally tap Done. The article below provides more troubleshooting steps to enhance your device's performance. There could be several reasons if your device's buttons are not working properly. Check if you're using a case that might obstruct the buttons' functionality. Additionally, you can determine if a specific button is malfunctioning by opening the Samsung Members app on your device. You can download it from the Galaxy Store if it is not installed. Once in the app, select Get Help, View tests, and choose Buttons. Follow the on-screen instructions. If you see an "Action required" message, we recommend visiting our service center or contacting the Samsung Support Team via phone or chat. We're here to help. Thank you for choosing Samsung!
