Way better in my opinion. Had many of both Motorola and Samsungs (Power, Plays, A15 A16 ect) in this price range and the Samsungs run way smoother even though in many cases the specs on paper are better on the Rolas.

Great deal for a backup phone, kept in drawer... There, in event your primary is lost, stolen, broken. At the end of the year, eBay the unlocked A16 for what you paid for it, or a couple dollars more.

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

as a fyi, Tracfone counts/deducts minutes even if using wifi calling.
Its not an issue. We really don't spend a lot of time on the phone and have accrued a balance of over 4000 minutes. There are some old deals that I was fortunate to find that had 24 gb data and unlimited text and talk for a year. Those are about to run out.

Quote from slugbug :
Thanks, I just ordered 3 for my wife, I and our son. This is a great deal for us. It gives us an additional year of service. We'll also be upgrading from Adreno 610 Moto G. We will get 5G on these new ones, which will allow my son to use the phone when he goes to Germany. (current one wouldn't work) Storage will double from 64GB to 128GB. Charging goes from 15W to 25W. Android 14 to Android 16. IPS display to AMOLED. 270ppi to 385ppi. Resolution from 720x1600 pixels to 1080x2340 pixels. 500 nits brightness to 824 nits, so it will be easier to see the new one in broad daylight. Multi core cpu score will increase by 33%. 3Dmark score increases from 641 to 1,385. The only thing I don't like is that the Galaxy A16 doesn't have a headphone jack, but I can get a USB C adapter. Overall, it looks like a really decent upgrade, and I sort of feel like I'm getting it free, just paying for a year of service.
What was the overall condition of the phones. Thinking of ordering. Thanks

not since April 2025 it requires service for the device by the IMEI when purchasing if want it unlocked.

Since these come preload with 1 year plan attached to IMEI this phone will unlock after 365 days.

I have old tracfone account, that doesn't have any service. I was able to access it today after password reset. I can't edit the contact info, etc., since there is no active phone service? Anyway, when I get my phone, I log into my account and simply activate and go through the process? Thanks

We got 3 of these, and there is no wear, not even any hairline scuffs or scratches on the screens. These things are about the least used of any used products that I've ever bought.

I understand the Phone is locked to tracfone, but is the sim card locked to the phone? I have not heard of this before, wondering If i can just put the sim card in any other unlocked phone.

Sim is registered to imei of phone it comes with, if you want to use the service in an unlocked phone you need to purchase & activate a TF BYOP sim. It's the way TF brands have worked for years.
