It works with Cricket Wireless…
I just want to start with I wasn’t sure if it would work with my wireless carrier that it is Cricket Wireless because I had a bad experience ordering a phone online (not in Amazon) in the end it wasn’t compatible with Cricke Wireless so I had to go through the process of returning the phone and I didn’t want to do that any more but this phone is completely compatible with Cricket Wireless so hopenthat helps someone if they have the same wireless carrier. In another note this my third phone after accidentally breaking two phones first one a razr 2024 then a samsung galaxy a54 5g so I decided to stick with samsung because I loved my other samsung galaxy but I didn’t want to spend so much money after my experience of breaking two that were not very expensive but also they were not cheap so I order this one and I am not disappointed works great and very responsive the best part is that worked with Cricket Wireless like I have mentioned before I am so happy that I have a Samsung phone again that is a great phone and I didn’t spend so much money. Highly recommend it it gives you phone update quite often so you are updated on the quality and performance now I don’t know much about technology at my 30’s but I know when a phone works good and this one does. I love it. Got the light grey and it’s beautiful.

Great Android features but no screen recorder on the A16 or A-Series? Good camera and durability.
This A16 model with Android version 14 is consistent with its predecessors in most regards, except on of which is that the screen recording function has been omitted from this A16 model as with others for some odd reason. I am considering returning the phone but all the other major features are working wonderfully, right out of the box. Larger build, robust look & feel, apps are user-friendly in the android software. I don’t understand what led to the omission of the screen recorder but all the other Android software features seem to be working properly. Camera focuses better than the S10-Plus also. Longevity remains to be determined. I have used an S21 model which uses the same camera design and that failed within a year. But out of the box everything about this phone & camera are as good as advertised. Phone charges relatively quickly too.

A bang for your buck
Given that I bought it for less than 190 bucks, I wasn’t having any great expectations. I had to buy a new phone fast because my A54 died on me out of nowhere. This phone wasn’t as big of a downgrade as I thought. Good memory, has expendable memory and some good battery life (use it for half a day of YouTube spends 40-30 percent)Of course, if you want to play games without breaking your balance account then you better look for an A50 series or just a Samsung FE’s (if you don’t mind giving up expandable storage)

Upgraded to Samsun A16
I had a very old Moto G7 Power that having issues not the least of which is the last update took it to Android 10. This phone is dual SIM and supports eSIM. The switch from my old carrier to my new carrier was very easy.

Satisfied with my A16 5G!
I was very skeptical about buying a phone from Amazon but I did and am satisfied with my purchase. Can’t find the silver color in stores. Was super easy getting turned on through my phone company. Electronic Sim card so I didn’t need to purchase one and that alone saved me a few bucks!!

Brand Loyal and Reputation Standing
It has definitely fulfilled all my senior parents needs and wants in a smartphone and then some. The minor issues with the features and quality of the camera is what you would expect in a entry level smartphone. So far, no major problems or issues straight out of the box. It was worth the price and brand reputation.

Solid phone for the price
This phone has surprised me greatly. I needed a replacement after my Google pixel 7a died and I did not have much money.The good:* price* beautiful big screen* battery life* fingerprint reader responsiveness* screen responsiveness* memory card slotThe bad/so-so:* camera (seriously, it’s not good at all)* can be slow, especially during gaming. I wouldn’t recommend this phone if you’re a big mobile gamer.Overall, if you need a phone just for social media, texting, and occasional photo taking and don’t want a refurbished or older phone, and are on a tight budget, this may be a solid choice.
