      I've owned and still use several Samsung products. S23, S25 plus, and the worse ever is this Samsung A16, I'd rather use my old Samsung flip phone. Good luck to you.

      Samsung wants your money ๐Ÿ’ฐ and gets ways without fixing the problems of their phones. Why can't you just cut off the phones without pressing the down volume and power button. Keep an eye open on your phone don't charge it while you sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด and check to make sure it doesn't get hot. It may cause a fire.

      The other problem is that you just can't cut off the phone without pressing the power button and the volume button on any of their products. I'll never purchased another Samsung phone or tablet.
