I bought this phone and returned it because it was so slow and laggy.

Stay away from this phone, the phone is so slow you can't even pick a call, this phone should be discontinued to be honest with you. I don't even know why the selling a phone like this. Stay away don't say I didn't try to warn you.

If you guys are complaining about the RAM in a entry level phone not being enough, how about you guys just buy a device with the resources that you're looking for from the get go instead of complaining about whats NOT in or you can use the RAM Plus option on the phones Device Care section to increase your useable RAM by going to Settings>Device Care>Memory> Ram Plus. Thnak you and have a nice da.

I was excited to upgrade to the Samsung A16, expecting at least a modest improvement over my previous Moto G 2023, but unfortunately, this phone's speed has been a disappointment. The A16 constantly lags and gets stuck, making even basic tasks frustrating. Scrolling through apps, switching between screens, and even typing can feel sluggish.
What’s most surprising is that despite being two years newer, the A16 actually feels slower than my old Moto G. Looking at Geekbench scores, my A16 has a single-core score of 853 and a multi-core score of 1824, compared to my Moto G 2023’s 745 and 1779, respectively. On paper, the A16 should at least match my old phone’s performance, but in real-world usage, the A16 feels noticeably slower which makes it hard to use comfortably.
Aside from the underwhelming speed, the phone does have a decent screen and camera for the price, but I simply can’t recommend it due to the poor performance. I understand that a budget phone isn’t going to be a powerhouse, but I at least expected it to perform as well as my old Moto G. Sadly, that’s not the case.
