Great entry phone after I destroyed my Ao5s
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a similar phone to my Samsung Ao5s and has all the same features as om older Ao5s. Got to know my older phone very . I knew how to operate it I would have liked to get another Ao5s but the A16 stood out as a new phone and virtually identical to My old Ao5s.

Excellent Phone For The Price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my son so he could watch YouTube and play games. So far it’s been great and I thought it may struggle with gaming but it handles it just fine. The build quality is excellent and the screen is extremely clear and bright. I would definitely buy another A series phone as they work so great.

Ai everywhere on Software, on browsers only make devices are buggy & slow. Your survey sucks only could vote 4.0 or 5.0 not 4.5 Stars. -Major airlines in Canada HURTS to check online on mobile! -Even supermarket flyers suck as I can't tell the DIFFERENCE between the yogurt from the milk containers!

I like the overall size of the phone.
I bought this phone 10 months ago as my first phone and it works great. The battery lasts a while, the camera is solid, and the performance is pretty good as it runs well.

The camera, battery, the display, it's all amazing
I bought the Galaxy A16 5G about a month ago and it's an amazing phone. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it does not have an equalizer for music.
