Some people say that the battery doesn’t last long, but really it all depends on whether you use your phone lot or not. Sometimes, the touch screen reacts slowly, but it’s smooth and all right. It’s light and easy to hold, and lastly, the compatibility works great! This phone is really worth the price and what I like the most about it is that when you install an app, installing in very fast. There are mostly no lags.

I would say that the phone is okay, so far. The charging speed is about what you would expect and the touch screen is really responsive. If you're wondering if it runs hot in a lot of different situations, I can tell you that it does. It also mentioned having 4 GB of ram, while technically true, this isn't fully accurate. It has 2 GB of physical ram and 2GB of vertial ram and that makes a huge difference in its' performance.This is particularly evident when you open the camera app. For comaprison, an S3 that I used way back in the day did not lag when going in and out of the camera application, but this phone does. Of course, this is to be expected, given the amount of ram that it has, but you would think that it would be better oprimized as a result. It is truly unlocked, just as it says. All I had to do was pop in my sim card from Verizon and I was up and running again. No phone call, no visiting the website, no putting in a code. So, I image it would work the same for every carrier.Now lets talk about the finger print reader, in some ways I like where it is positioned, in other ways I don't. We all tend to choose a finger or a finger print reader that feels confortable to use and not combersome. There are a ton of options to achieve this when the finger print reader is on the bottom bezel or on the phone screen itself, not so much when its' the same button as your power button. This causes you to do accidental unlocks at times if you aren't careful. but I believe that it will just take some getting used to.The call quality is actually really good and the camera isn't to bad. Don't expect any Earth shattering detail like you would get from the S20 or something similar. The stabalizers leaves a lot to be desired, but the video quality is actually pretty impressive for the price point. The flashlight on the other hand is a different story. It's not really useful in tight spaces or when you need light in a specific direction. It will do the job in a pinch, but don't expect it to do what other phones can in that department.The battery life seems to be good and pretty close to what Samsung claims. Set your battery to only charge to eighty percent and don't use super fast charging when you can to improve the life of your battery overtime. According to Samsung this phone is slated to get years of security updates and OS updates, which is why i purchased it. It didn't need to be fancy, as its' mostly used for phone calls and text, but you'll get more out of it than that to be sure.On to the screen. It is honestly impressive and has done well in every lighting condition that I have subjected it to. It does scratch easy, so make sure you get a screen protector as soon as possible to prevent that from happening.Some good points are the fact that the charging port is a bit receeded, a good choice by Samsung that saves you from having to clean stray lint out of it all the time. The phone itself does run off of the new fleet of Samsung chargers, so if you have an old Samsung product and charger from the last couple years, you'll be good to go.Overall it does the job and runs fairly well for the price point. It really needs at least four gigs of virtual memory to help it along, but you can't expect much more at the price point. It will be a reliable phone that will do what you need it to and a bit more. It has a better screen than most phones at this price point and it has the Samsung security and OS updates that run for years that other manufactures don't offer.

I recently upgraded my prior phone which was a Galaxy A20 to this A16. I am not a tech expert but, the switch was really easy! I like the size of this phone slightly larger. This phone is very user friendly, the security features are great, no drag, I’m still playing around with some of the preloaded apps but I would definitely recommend to someone who needs a upgrade that is simple . This price was excellent, I absolutely refuse to pay the outrageous prices on cell phones. Fast shipping. Love the color, mine is a pearly white. The battery seems to last a long time, I have had the phone just a couple days and only charged it once. Overall the phone seems sturdy and is functioning great.

I was looking for a secondary phone that I could dedicate specifically to work (email, number, apps, etc). In the past I've had plenty of low budget phones that did a great job with this (particularly the Motorola G series) but I wanted to give Samsung a try since the price to specs ratio was really good.The hardware itself is really good at this price. For $175, I got a phone with a good battery, decent camera, good screen, and a solid processor to keep most apps running well.Unfortunately, the whole Samsung suite of tools slows the phone down to a crawl if they decide to automatically run or update in the background. I hate this future of forced updates, and while it IS possible to disable "most" updates, some will still happen automatically around the Samsung suite of tools.Things like Samsung cloud, Smart things, Switch, Sync, and many more are constantly running for no reason, and attempting to interact with any will push you to create a silly Samsung account to manage their behavior. The One UI thing is extremely pushy with updates, with their overlay prompting me to update in the middle of typing an email or doing anything else.I don't know how we've fallen off so badly when it comes to UX design... at some point companies decided that their needs come first, and if there's any leftover time and budget, the user experience gets some consideration.Overall, the phone is a good piece of hardware, but the software is extremely annoying, pushy, laggy, and broken in many ways I highly recommend de-bloating the device by removing as much unnecessary crap as you possibly can, then the phone becomes much more usable.

We've bought 2 of these new for our kids to use. Both pre-teens and they need just enough functionality without paying $1000 for the newest/best smart-phone. Inexpensive enough you don't feel like you're breaking the bank to buy them, and they can be activated on any mobile provider. Galaxy software so they're familiar and easy to use. Don't need them to be biggest and best, but great for the $ and especially for kids who aren't necessarily ready for more $ phones.

Very good device! First time buying an unlocked device for myself. I was able to transfer accounts from my old Samsung device and activate service with my provider in the same day. Keeps a good charge... very fast charging. Great size for my needs. I was able to switch devices without a hitch. It was a good choice for me .
