Sorry you are experiencing this.

A1X series phones are some of the lowest-end devices in Samsung's lineup and are designed to be basic communication devices. Because of their low price, they are often given away free as part of carrier promotions.

You are likely to encounter performance issues with tasks beyond basic communication.

You can potentially alleviate performance issues by completing these steps for routine maintenence:

In particular, clearing device cache is an important practice in order to clean up junk files and keep things running smooth.

You may be due for an upgrade. Budget phones typically have shorter useful lifespans as a direct result of their more modest hardware.

If you are able to manage it financially, upgrading to a more premium device such as the S25FE would be a massive improvement and would give you much more longevity going forward.

It's the parable of the poor man's boots. Budget phones are more affordable, but you end up replacing them more frequently.

No worries tomorrow I might get a s26 ultra

S26 ultra has not been released yet. Samsung is expected to unveil the S26 series and open pre-orders on the 25th.

Or the s25

I might just switch to apple

[nullandvoid]

So, you bought a budget phone, presumably because finances were an issue.  Because it's a low end, basic phone, you are now ready to spend the big bucks for an Apple? If you can now afford a higher end phone, I suggest either moving up to either  an A36 or 56 or an S25FE.  All are which are better than either the A16 or Apple.
