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.
Common Questions (4)
The phone is widely described as slow because it has 4GB RAM and a modest CPU, and some users find it borderline unusable for full-time use. It can still be fine as a light-use or emergency phone, especially after turning off Samsung's RAM Plus and restarting, though that does not always improve speed.
The line can be shut down for inactivity, with one report saying Tracfone wanted weekly activity and another saying a text warned to use data, make a call, or send a text every 60 days. A practical workaround is to make a brief call or send a text regularly, at least monthly, to avoid losing the number.
The advertised Tracfone allotment may not always be included on arrival, and activation can require entering a plan PIN or buying a plan first. The SIM is tied to the phone's IMEI, so service may need to be moved after activation if you want to keep your number.
No. It comes as a renewed item in a generic white box, and there is no seal or cellophane to break.

if you are lucky and can find a place that doesnt price gouge.
locally they are 35cents -$1.20 more than BJ's Costco.
There are other offers as well that could piggyback(and require a real #).

going to need to do that again soon, it's been a few years since I've done it last.
n/m saw the other deal thread going.
When they don't provide a link, they are just lying. It's strange, I've been on this site nearly twenty years, and there have always been these people. I just looked on Amazon and it's $90
