Galaxy A16 5G (Gold, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage) | AI | Circle to Search | Super AMOLED | 6.5 Inch Display | 50MP Triple Camera | IP54 Rated | 6 Times OS Upgrades

I am writing these ratings after 8 days of Usage. Here is my detailed review about this phone. Setup - 4/5: It takes a while to setup. Could have been easier to get to the main screen to begin the operation. However, the setup instructions were pretty clear. Display - 5/5: Sports a great 6.7” inch SuperAmoLED display, very impressed with the colours on this budget phone. Camera - 3/5: Camera quality lags behind similar phones in this budget range. Samsung has some work to do here. The video I posted also has a video taken, where one could see artificial color enhancing without staying true to the colors. Which an iPhone faithfully reproduces. So far this is also a widespread Android problem. Also, no 4K video recording, while it’s available on Samsung M35 which is in the same budget range. Speed of Operation-4.5/5: The device is pretty smooth for an user like me who seldom uses it for gaming, but use it frequently to access interactive AI apps, stock market apps, hotel booking, payment and secured payment through Samsung Wallet as this device has an NFC. Security - 5/5: This device is for someone for whom data privacy and security matters. The device comes with Samsung Knox. Samsung is the only brand in Android so far on which I can place my trust the rest come fancy features, but they come at a cost of compromising your security with built-in Bloatwares that are capable of monitoring your activities. OS - 4.5/5: Comes with Android 14, decent improvements over previous Versions. Promised 6 years of OS Upgrades, not sure if the device can keep up with the changes of the new OS requirements. Battery-4.5/5: Decent lasts 1 and half days easily despite of 7-8 hours usage in a single day. Body - 4/5: Very stylish, glossy finish and great colors. Be careful to use a back cover as the phone can slip away easily because of its size and the glossy finish. Mobile connectivity -4/5: Connects to 5G where available, otherwise works great on VoLTE. The device has WiFi calling feature, which sometimes can be the reason for intermittent call breaking especially when you move away from WiFi but a call on WhatsApp goes well. Anomalies: None so far. Did not see the phone over heating issue. Samsung has produced a quality product. I would definitely recommend this. It’s a good buy.

This is a 6 month review. The mobile is good for normal usage and if u use it like 6-7 hours a day but if u want to use for 10 plus hours then you must consider some other beacuse of little bit lagging. Battery bachup is nice. Overall good product

Nice product

If you are SAMSUNG Big fan than the "Samsung Galaxy A16 5G " might be a good option. At this price level we have other best option available with different famous brand. Fast charging with 25W charger takes approx 120 minutes for full Charging. Camera might be Okay at this price level. so not good overall. Value for Money: NO Battery Life: good( 1 to 2 days) Charging speed: more than 2 hrs for full charging Look: Similar to other samsung phones, so can't different either A or S series Phone Phone quality: I except more from samsung for A16 because than there is no difference between S, A, F, M series samsung phone . i have seen some M and F series phone have better hardware configuration and working better than A16. This device have lagging issue if you run 4 to 5 application at a time.

Excellent phone

Good phone for casual user. camera is not ok. No heating problem.

Good phone with best features except camara. If u hv little more budget go for slightly higher model.

Worth purchasing

It was not clearly mentioned in the product description that it was only for use in south east Asia ....ordered and returned unopened

Although slightly heavy. It still is a great phone.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a solid offering in the budget smartphone category, especially for me. After two weeks of use, its Performance, Storage, and Camera are okay, as per my requirements. Got a better recharge cycle time long-term performance. Android 14 is running. I think some of Samsung Apps' uninstall options are required. Because not all aps not necessary for all users. Then the customer can use apps as per his need.

Very good quality and nice phone

It was fantastic mobile looking sooo good Resanable price and product quality is sooo goood
