[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has a lot of great features including AI assistant. Cameras are great and picture quality is awesome. The only drawback for me is that it doesn't connect as quickly as my previous phone which was a moto.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been a while since I've been able to afford a Samsung phone and I gotta say I'm totally thrilled with the A16. I love the smooth transitions, the fact that it has enough storage space that I don't feel like if I didnt buy and SD card the phoenix might crash any minute and most.of all I love that it has NFC on it.

This product is user friendly

Bhuggies · 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a budget-friendly 5G smartphone that doesn't feel like a compromise, the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G hits a sweet spot for everyday users. The A16 5G keeps things simple but clean. It has a sleek, matte finish that doesn’t feel cheap, and the 6.5” HD+ display is large enough for streaming, scrolling, and video calls. It’s not AMOLED, but the screen quality is sharp and bright for its price range. Performance: With the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chip and 4GB/6GB RAM options, this phone handles daily tasks with ease—browsing, social media, light gaming, and multitasking all run smoothly. You may notice some lag with heavier apps, but for typical users, it’s solid and responsive. Battery Life: The 5,000mAh battery is a standout. It easily lasts a full day, sometimes more with moderate use. Charging isn’t blazing fast, but it’s reasonable—especially considering the battery size. Camera: The dual-camera setup (50MP main + depth sensor) is better than expected. Photos in good lighting are crisp, and portrait mode does a decent job. Low light performance is average, but that’s normal at this price

The samsung A16 5G has great features.

Tmick201 · 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung A16 5g for taking great pictures and 126 gig storage space is a plus. The phone is pretty straight forward user friendly and have a few cool features. This phone is great for older people like myself who is not so tech savvy but provide all the basic things needed to get the job done. Kudos Samsung for providing a mid price affordable option for people who needs an upto date smart phone with out breaking the bank.
