As in it is giving up the ghost ? It has been performing well and is my main go to phone for most of my things including ID connected app.

Probably that module has to be replaced as the rest of the phone seems like it's working I didn't hear you complain about anything else .

Im testing safe mode that i forgot and the damn camera wont turn on in this mode.

Looks like my A21 will return as my main phone. I was hoping this new phone was a good upgrade.

There's still a warranty on the phone

Nope it was a purchase in 2024. Never bought a warranty either
Looks like my Galaxy 23 will return as my main phone. I was hoping this new phone was a good upgrade. But that one it has less storage 64GB storage than A16 1626 GB along with my 8GB Micro SD

Yeah sorry to hear that, I never had Samsung mid-range devices only their flagship and been really happy with them.

That's good nothing wrong with it .

still its a wrong life for a 13 month old phone.
Now my Galaxy S23 is my main phone and A16 is for things like verifications and such
I have no idea why android insists on doing a verification on a extra phones but it just feels so unnecessary.

still its a big waste on a 13 month old phone. Now A16 is strictly for things like verifications and such. I have no idea why samsung insists on doing a verification on a extra phone browser for stuff for facebook log in to pokemon go and logging into google.

these hoops are so unnecessary.

While it's annoying I rather have those extra steps of security.

I also found my ancient A21s lying in there and disconnected it google and i factory reset it.

That one has a awfully wimpy 64 GB like a toy for phone beginners if you dont have a big micro sd card. The installed system eats up 80% of the whole storage like the fat original ps5.
I know a electronics that is willing to buy phones and gives receipts in their store.
