I needed to replace my Motorola G8 Power with an affordable upgrade and came across Back Market, the selection in my price range for a suitable refurbished phone was excellent, and I chose the Samsung A16, 5G 128 GB (Black) it has the features that my Motorola didn't have, and the trade in was good and very quick, I am extremely satisfied with my upgrade and have recommended Back Market as a affordable solution.

Very happy with the phone and the condition it came in. I bought it as fair so there was some hesitation on how visible scratches would be but it was very minimal and worth the money. Works really well and have had no issues.

It had been a while since I had upgrades my phone and seeing a lot of the comments saying they would 'take the risk' with a refurbished item was a little worrying - but I needn't have been concerned as this phone is BRILLIANT. It was very clean, in perfect condition and I couldn't believe it wasn't a brand-new device! I am very pleased with the speed of the purchase, it surprised me how fast it was delivered in safe packaging. I didn't have any issues so didn't have to contact the seller. I felt better knowing I had bought second-hand and am fully satisfied with the item.

Transferring from my old phone was straight forward, one or two hiccups with app passwords, but I seem to have a lot more of those things since the last change of phone. Very pleased with the prompt delivery and condition of device, excellent.

Very keenly priced with a very quick delivery. Phone was as described and in excellent condition. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is I am waiting to change over phones and cannot comment further. However, I expect all will be well.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a practical, up-to-date smartphone for 2024, sitting just behind Samsung’s flagship models but still offering a refreshing mix of dependable basics and modern features. With its expansive 6.5-inch display, reliable MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chip, and 5G support, the Galaxy A16 5G covers the essentials for everyday use—without the bells and whistles you may not need.

Key features:

Release Date: January 2024
Display: 6.5-inch PLS LCD, HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate
Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ (octa-core)
Camera: Dual rear cameras (50MP main, 2MP depth sensor)
Front Camera: 13MP selfie camera
Operating System: Ships with Android 14 (One UI 6)
Connectivity: 5G-ready for fast streaming and downloads
Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) support

Who is this for?

The Galaxy A16 5G is perfect for students, busy parents, or anyone looking for a sturdy smartphone for everyday tasks—like messaging, browsing, and snapping photos—without feeling weighed down by features you’ll never use. If you need flagship performance or a dazzling AMOLED screen, the Galaxy A54 and higher tiers are better suited. But for those who just want a smooth-running phone with essentials covered (plus speedy 5G), this one gets it right.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Large 6.5-inch screen great for streaming and scrolling.	HD+ LCD display isn’t as punchy as Samsung’s AMOLEDs.
5G connectivity for future-ready speeds.	No ultra-wide lens; limited camera versatility.
Android 14 out of the box with easy-to-use One UI 6.	No premium build—it’s sturdy, but all plastic.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished Galaxy A16 5G isn’t just a smart move for you—it’s a win for the planet. All our pre-owned devices go through thorough quality checks, so you can scroll and stream with peace of mind. Read more about our rigorous standards here.
