BTW... I've read that the A16 gets 6 years of OS updates from Samsung.

After flash to GSI roms, the brand is irrelevant. Moto vs Samsung, it's doesn't matter.
8GB vs 4GB are an important factor.
1. Moto G Play - the slowest.
2. Moto G is a bit better than Moto G Play.
3. Moto G Power with 8GB is better than Moto G or G Play.
4. Moto G Stylus is a bit better than Moto G Power.
I would take the Moto G Power (8GB RAM) over the Galaxy A16 4GB RAM cuz the G Power is faster and smoother especially if you runs too many apps.
I have an Android phone with 2GB of RAM, and my girlfriend has one too, and neither of us has ever had an issue with enough RAM, including use of the camera! The brand of phone is the issue and NOT the RAM, in addition I wonder if you ever keep your phone clean of clutter. Go to XDA developers for help
Every single time you try to open a second app with this phone it dumps the memory of the first one. It's especially frustrating with apps that have you sign in every time like banking apps, can't even multitask with my bank app and the calculator without having to sign back in again & again.
The fact that you can only use ONE app at a time on this phone is a RAM issue. There are no two ways about it. Which is a shame because the processor isn't bad, but it's wasted on the 4GB model. Sure the phone works and you can use the camera, but does someone really want to have this as their mobile phone experience? I think not.
Frankly, I'm not sure why you're trying to defend a phone that doesn't have enough RAM to use more than one app at a time. I'm not sure what you gain out of it. Either way I don't need help, I know what the issue is.

Note is/was a great phone. But for me, the A15, A16, A25 (still use it) and the A54 are a step up from the Moto's I had. Every phone is a compromise.

"For all cellphones Activated on or after January 20, 2026, the cellphone will be unlocked upon request after 365 days of paid and active service."
After 365 days, you will have to submit a request to unlock. But not sure if they will unlock for you since your number is no longer active after 1 year of service is over.
No one knows for sure or had any experience because TracFone just changed their unlock policy according to this link: https://www.tfwunlockpo

Yep, the 3Dmark score increases from 641 to 1,385, going from the Moto G to this was enough for me. I do really wish that system RAM was something like a tiny board you could upgrade, though.
