Q: can i use this without mobile service for my grand child?

  • A: Yes, your grandchild can absolutely use the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G over Wi-Fi for games, videos, and apps without an active cellular plan!

    Average phone

    Purchased 2 Galaxy A16 5G phones in August 2025. So far pretty good phone at the start, but I had some connectivity problems like dropped wifi or problems connecting to my wifi when using at home, system UI was unresponsive when turning on my phone sometimes not all the time. The camera app fails to close and has delays. All in all it's not so bad.

    Great phone for the price

    Good phone, does everything you expect. Good cameras, decent pick up of service, battery lasts if you manage power. The display is under and it is surprisingly quick for a budget phone. Downside is it us plastic and light. The display cracks really easily. Overall an excellent phone for the price!
