and it's a great phone
make sure you turn off the stupid RAM PLUS option in ONE settings, it will double your speed
Settings > Device care > Memory > RAM Plus
Toggle OFF and restart phone
The phone is pathetically slow even with all junk removed. The reason is simple - 4gb RAM is not enough for an Android in 2026.
Community Reviews
The Galaxy A16 5G renewed bundle is a low-cost Tracfone starter or backup phone with a year of service, and it is best suited to light use. The screen and long security support through October 2030 are clear strengths, and the phone can feel faster if Samsung RAM Plus is turned off and restarted. The main drawback is performance, since the 4GB RAM and modest processor are repeatedly described as very slow, with some apps taking around 20 seconds to open. The renewed unit also arrives in a plain box, and Tracfone service may require periodic calls, texts, or data use to keep the line active.
Light phone users replacing an older prepaid handset, because it is perfectly adequate for basic calling, texting, and occasional app use.
Drivers or parents keeping an emergency phone in a glovebox, because it works fine when rarely used and can sit ready for urgent calls.
People who can tolerate a slower phone after disabling extra memory features, because turning off RAM Plus can improve speed.
Shoppers who want long software support, because the security update timeline runs to October 2030.
Heavy app multitaskers, because 4GB of RAM and a weaker processor can make the phone feel painfully slow.
Anyone who wants a full-time daily phone, because the slow performance can make normal use annoying.
Buyers expecting a ready-to-use prepaid line, because activation can require extra steps and the included service may not be present.
People with sensitive eyes, because the screen has PWM flickering that can become uncomfortable.

It's $40 after you add a banana and apply the coupon FRESH30
i have a few tracfones that i keep in gloveboxes for emergencies. i had one of them get cancelled/expired due to inactivity. i never use any of them really. for some reason they shut one down. took quite awhile with support to finally get them to reactivate it. they told me that i needed activity on the phone every week! once inactivated, it can only be reactivated within 30 days, then it's gone forever.
i don't use them weekly, but i try to remember to at least do it monthly and haven't had a problem since...fingers crossed.
Oh, you definitely have some issues, just not with the phone.
