  • Wow what a great deal for an awesome phone !!
Color: Blue Black Style: A16 Only
For $165 I honestly don't know how you could beat the value. The screen is beautiful, the 5000 ma/h battery lasts forever and the performance is more than adequate for most people. Sure it isn't gonna run games like a S series Galaxy, but it costs only a fraction of what they do. I bought it as a work phone for my small business and am extremely impressed. I popped in my Verizon sim card and it works flawlessly. The battery meter is a little hard to read but that is part of Samsung's software on all Galaxies running the newest OneUI version and no fault of the phone. The 50mp camera is insanely good and the built in Google circle to search is super handy. This purchase was a home run and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. ... show more

  • GREAT Value; Works Well; Dependable
Color: Blue Black Style: A16 Only
This phone certainly is an outstanding value. Today, companies hype you with devices for well over $1,000.00. I have been buying inexpensive phones like this for YEARS, and have saved great deals of money while staying in my budget and enjoying the full benefits of modern mobile phones. The display and sound quality are excellent; it is durable and withstands daily wear (that is, with the usual added benefits of an appropriate case and/or holster); it captures the signals from the cellular network very well and has great connectivity; accessories such as screen protectors, USB C cables, and power adapters are very plentiful (one thing that would cause me to immediately reject considering a phone is when the manufacturer designs their devices to require proprietary accessories), the charging time is very good; and, again, it is an overall, excellent value. Definitely deserving of 5-Stars. ... show more

  • Insane value and quality if you are smart
Color: Blue Black Style: A16 Only
What you need to know, tbis phone 1000% has eSIM no matter what google says. It has 1 nano sim port and 1 micro sd slot, the dual sim is the eSIM capability. Despite what other reviews say, if you remove the bloatware you are forced to download. And block unecessary back ground processing apps, and close all your unecessary tabs and apps... like a normal person... this phone feels fast and snappy... now if you are switching from a premium galaxy to this budget galaxy you are obviouslh downgrading and it doesnt at all make sense to scream about the obvious. This budget phone is premium of budget phones. Im not experiencing lag in the sligbtest bit Color is accurate, the feel is lightweight but quality. Battery life is good. Sound quality is good. Durable cases are very cheap for tbis phone. And it is truly unlocked. Deducted 1 star for having to spend 2 hours doing updates. ... show more

  • great performance and value
Color: Light Gray Style: A16 Only
I thought about waiting for the A17 since it has been released outside the US but then I read that its basically the exact same chips this year so I opted for the $165 sale here. I use it on mint and came from the A13 5G. I'll say it is very good, I like that we moved back to flat edges, it kept the same features I was used to and all the great things about the A series (big battery/runtime and value) I use social media apps, email, meeting apps, gps, nfc wallet, and AI chatbots. It is a bit faster than my previous phone and no complaints for speed. I put a plastic/rubber clear case on it and a screen protector just for a few bucks off amazon haul. I could see this easily lasting me 4 years. I was worried about 4GB ram but I'm usually just around 2.5GB used with these apps and the memory compression RAM Plus (I set it to 2GB, half the real ram) ... show more

  • 👍🏼
Color: Light Gray Style: A16 Only
I wasn't expecting much for the cost. Doesn't have screen record. Camera is alright. Runs kinda slow at times. But, Sound is great. Screen quality is great. It seems sturdy and has some of newer features like reacting to texts, updated emojis. I needed a new phone and it does the job.

  • Great hardware held back by bloated software
Color: Blue Black Style: A16 Only
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. ... show more
