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.

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.

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.

Switched from Moto G Stylus 2022 to Samsung 2025: Phone condition was new - very pretty little phone; I got the "grey" which was almost white. Very light weight compared to Moto Stylus, and size was slightly smaller, but noticeable. Switch from Moto was not as easy as I expected. The functionality is fine but icon driven - Moto Stylus had MANY more features that were SO convenient: (Gestures were great, especially to open the flashlight!! Can't tell you how often that came in handy!) Phone came unlocked so it made the transition to my carrier just fine in that regard. Only had it 2 days but the battery seems to be very good. Sound quality I would say is excellent. I don't like the icons, color schemes and there are WAY too many apps loaded in right off the bat - don't need all of them. Motorola knew how to build a phone. Don't know what all the hype for Samsung is about - it's a nice phone, but really not comparable to my Stylus 2022 which I was just now replacing due to the battery life dying (3 years later??? - Another great feature for Motorola!) We'll see how long this one lasts.

I love the phone. I use it as my secondary. It does lag a bit sometimes but not too crazy. Plays my 4k videos from an action camera well.
