[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone was very my appealing and seemed like a major upgrade from I phone at first. As I downloaded my cloud datas and apps and merged my contacts and photos I began to be impressed by the very simple and fast ios to Google transfer.... 5 minutes and it was done. Then as I got adjusted to the phone the last week or two the speed of the device overall has slowed down nearly 150%.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G offers a surprisingly capable experience for its price. The 6.7-inch Infinity-V display is vibrant and immersive, perfect for streaming videos and gaming. While the performance isn't top-tier, it handles everyday tasks and light gaming smoothly.
The camera system is decent for the price, with a 50MP main sensor capturing decent photos in good lighting. The battery life is impressive, lasting easily through a day of moderate use.
One downside is the lack of stereo speakers, but overall, the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a solid choice if you're looking for an affordable 5G smartphone with a good set of features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good value overall. Touch screen not super responsive and app startup and transition can be sluggish. For the price though it's hard to beat. I see a lot of talk about "seamless actions across apps" but I have not experienced that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] THIS was it. The phone I had been waiting for, thank you Samsung!
This is the type of phone you were waiting for ,too - if you love seamless use between your apps , easy connection with your Buds, and bonus- no need to worry about how to transfer your info. Samsung has you covered for that too!
Easy to start, simple to set up, and the ease of use and great transitions between apps.
I'm so happy with mine, I'm already planning to get my daughter this phone as well - and she can stop sneaking envious peeks at mine (though she just got a different phone last year!)
