Samsung makes great phones. Here are a couple of things you can do: clear the cache on all your apps. I recommend SD Maid SE on the Google Play Store. Now, regarding storage: your phone uses the internal storage space for RAM, so if you have 50GB available and you use 30GB, your device will slow down. Move all your photos and videos onto an SD card or PC. Delete any unused apps or ones you rarely use because apps take up 300MB to 1GB of space, so it adds up. Next, go into settings under "Device care," scroll down to "Auto optimization," and set the phone to restart every day at 3 AM; this should help clear any errors happening during the day. Next, go to "Battery" and turn on "Power saving"; it will help limit background processes. In the future, look for phones with more than 4GB/8GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has 12GB of RAM, and it's lightning fast.

Oh, and make sure your phone is updated. Go to settings and check apps in Google Play and the Samsung Store. If you're out of date on the system, your phone will feel sluggish.

I understand you are frustrated with your A16, but the old adage rings true: you get what you pay for.

Samsung produces some of the best performing phones in the industry. The S series is amazing, and higher end A series can be quite nice as well.

Unfortunately, the A1X series is designed specifically to be a basic communication device at an extremely affordable price point. You cannot reasonably expect flagship or even midrange performance from the A1X series.

Just got a so called new Samsung galaxy A16 I don't think it's new, think it's refurbished. When I first start my phone, does anyone know why my phone gets hot when I'm on my phone 10 minutes and what should I do

[michael509]

take it back you most likely have a bad battery. just let them know the phone is getting hot

Is it merely hot or actually overheating?  Just being hot is not a real big deal unless it doesn't cool down.  Phones generate heat - between the processor working and the screen luminosity.  Depending on what you are doing in those 10 minutes, an A16's processor will work a little harder.  When you first start your phone up, it takes battery energy and processing power for it to start up (you should keep it  on and only restart once a week), along with looking for updates and possibly backing up your device. Your device only backs up when it's charging and not in use, and is usually done in the wee hours of the morning, unless it can't because your phone is off.  Those background processes may generate heat, especially if you are doing other stuff while it's going on.  If your phone is overheating, it will protect itself by a) slowing down, b) freezing up, or c) shutting down.  It will also give you an overheat warning.

Helpful hint for limited storage,, instead of downloading apps, log into whatever app you want via online then make a shortcut instead of having full app on phone

I have a lot of storage like I dont use that much
