SAMSUNG Galaxy A16 5G Dual SIM (128GB, 2025) 6.7" 90Hz AMOLED, Water Resistant, 8Core, 50MP Camera (Factory Unlocked International Model for GSM, Global) A166M/DS Blue Black

I've had the phone for about a week now. Before I bought I checked out all the specs on Best Buy. Only thing absent is the Barometer sensor. Maybe this a slightly different model. Curious that it came w/no connection for earphone jack. But somewhere I got the idea that earphones with a USB-C type connection would work. Got a couple of pair w/USB-C jacks from Dollar Tree and they work - plugged into the charging port. The user's manual I downloaded from Samsung site did not mention being water resistant, but maybe it is. You'll have to buy a protective case. Everything seems to work well. Android Auto now works on Bluetooth w/out being plugged into the car. Phone works with my US Mobile plan. Wish it had a built-in app lock so I could just lock specific apps w/out locking the phone. It does have a secure folder but haven't figured out how to make that work. The TCL I upgraded from had a real FM radio built in. That was nice but I couldn't find that in any current models.

I bought the Samsung Galaxy A16 to use with Rizz Wireless, and it’s been a great experience so far. The phone is quick, the display is bright, and the battery lasts all day. For the price, it’s more than enough for calls, texts, email, and everyday apps, no complaints. I used a physical SIM from Rizz Wireless (not an eSIM), and setup was super easy. Just popped it in, restarted the phone, and everything worked right away. Rizz runs on the T-Mobile network, so the coverage and data speeds have been solid. What makes this even better is Rizz’s Rizzentials rewards, I’m literally earning points every time I talk on the phone. I’ve already redeemed some for Starbucks and Ulta gift cards, and even used rewards to cover part of my phone bill. If you’re looking for a dependable, affordable phone to use with a smart wireless plan, this combo really works.

Good phone. Performs all the needed functions

I say this phone works well. The only thing is that it’s a little slow. Even when connected to WiFi, I just feel it’s not as fast as others. This is used as a second phone so I don’t have much saved on this phone “storage wise”. Just use it for searching the web, calls and text. But other than that, it works great!

Reliable battery life

Awful. I thought this would be a better choice as the previous phone was not a Samsung & I missed having one. I have spent over a month battling this thing. It overheats all the time, so I have to turn it off & sit it on an ice pack, like it sprained its ankle or something. It constantly freezes. Lags in opening most apps. NOT that I even set up everything yet because of this frustrating detail. I've deleted a lot & use the browser where I can to not overload the system. I have to clear cache, etc consistently. But more annoyingly, it keeps resetting my settings! Every time I restart the phone, which is at least once a day, usually more because it gives me a warning that it is slow, I have to go back into Accessibility & change everything back to how I want it. Earlier this week, it cut off my doctor from leaving a message. It took 4 days for the message to show up! I have had near-perfect service with my new carrier for 13 months. I did not have these issues with my other Samsungs over the years or even the previous other brand. Never had this a decade ago with my favorite brand, which no longer makes phones. This appears to be an A16 issue, or this specific phone issue. I missed the return window due to some health issues delaying things & needing a phone at that time. Now I'm stuck with a phone that malfunctions & worse - a payment plan. Once I get back on track, I will be trying to see if it can be looked at. I didn't need a malfunctioning phone at the time I needed it the most.

I have been using it for few months and has been more than what I expected.

I want to correct my previous review. Phone cam unlocked as advised. My network carrier thought it was locked and unfortunately, this was a lack of training of the representative on their end. Product is unlocked and working great as advised
