Galaxy A16 5G Love it!

Wormy1328 · 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything seems to be working properly. The camera has great picture and video quality and stability! Runs smoothly and quickly. Has tons of memory and options to choose for storage! I can't really complain to be honest but I'm working on trying to get the new S25! If the A16 5G is good then I can only imagine how much better the S25 is! You get 👍🏻👍🏻 from me! Try and keep bettering the privacy policies cause you never can get to much of that. Thanks and have a great rest of the year Samsung USA 🇺🇸

Does it have AI to help take or scan documents?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support13 days

No, the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G does not have the full suite of Galaxy AI features, according to multiple tech sites. While it runs on Android 14 with One UI 6.1, it does not include the AI features found on higher-end Galaxy S series phones. Features like AI photo editing, translation, and certain intelligent features are absent~Jorge
