Galaxy A16 5G 6.7'' Smartphone 128GB Unlocked SIM-Free - Blue Black A

I needed a phone in a relative hurry after the screen on my A13 broke. I only had a few requirements: 5G, NFC, Android (preferably Samsung), 128GB minimum, and fairly cheap, whilst also being brand new. After a quick search around, this fit the bill perfectly. The handset is a little bigger than my old phone, but it's still quite light (even with a decent case on it). I wouldn't say it's lightning quick, but I've not experienced any lag or anything using it. As long as I don't wander round with things like my Bluetooth and Location on permanently, the battery easily lasts the day, even though I have the battery protection mode on where it only charges it to 80%. Make sure sure you have a decent charger. I'd go with at least a 20W so you get fast charging, or if you can get a 45W or 65W, etc you can get super fast charging. All the core functionality you'd expect is there: GPS, Bluetooth, NFC,etc, as well as some of the nicer to have things like 5G, and a Fingerprint Sensor. My last 5 or 6 phones have all been Samsung's so porting things across from old to new phone was dead-easy using Samsung's Smart Switch and then moving my SD card over. What else can I say, it hit all of my requirements, including the "relatively cheap", coming in at under £150 when I bought it, despite it being £199 at places like Argos, Currys, and John Lewis at the time. Overall: 8/10. Quite a lot of phone for the money. If what you want is good, solid, reliable, then this is a good choice for you. Just make sure you put a decent case on it.

Works well and a fraction of the price on the high street. And selling direct from Amazon gives piece of mind from other third party sellers

After the initial set up problems and messing about with software updates, once this settles down and you find your way around making sure you customise the settings to ones personal preference it works and performs rather well. A little slow at times and annoying you cant just use on and off power button at the side which gives preference to Googles A.I Gemini platform. Only had to buy this to use with my Galaxy watch 8 which requires the use of the app ! Shame on Samsung to forcing you into forking out an additional £100+ because it doesn't connect to there tablets !

Its a great mobile at the budget end of the Samsung range that has 5g. It has a big bright screen, a good camera, a charge lasts just over three days on standby and it may well be the best mobile that I have ever owned. Its the normal Samsung operating system so pretty easy to use. The only downside I find is that it is a little large. If only Samsung had produced a slightly smaller version.

Arrived on time. As described. Comms good. Definitely doing 'what it says on the tin'!! Slightly fiddly set up. Battery life good.

The A16 is a good budget phone! Good for video calls and is easy to set up!

It's a good phone but there is one slight problem the Bluetooth doesn't not work with my Cochlear ear implant it will pair with the device but then not connect to the device-My girlfriend has the same phone and it does the same with her phone-I was using a Samsung M31 before buying this and it still connects and pairs to the device no problem so there is definitely some kind of issue-I've tried everything but hot nowhere

Ok for cheap phone if you just want basic phone but camera not as clear as expected from Samsung phones. My previous phone, 8 years old, was much better. Also taking screenshot difficult with having to use buttons on same side of the phone at the same time. Much easier if they were one each side and able to use 2 hands. Also swiping screen for screenshot rarely works. Image moves. Easy to set up but wouldn't transfer WhatsApp.
