Samsung has announced the Galaxy A16 5G. The budget phone promises six generations of Android updates and up to six years of security updates that will last until October 31, 2030.
The Galaxy A16 5G features a large 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 13MP hole-punch selfie camera.
Under the hood, the phone is powered by an unnamed octa-core processor. However, it is reported to be an Exynos 1330 for the European market or a Dimensity 6300 for select Asian markets like India and Thailand. Either way, 5G connectivity is supported.
At the back, the device has a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro lens. It also features a 5000mAh battery, an IP54-rated build, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and One UI on top of Android 14.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is available in Midnight Blue, Turquoise, and Gray colors. In France, it is priced at EUR 249 (around Php 15,500) for the 4GB+128GB model.
There’s no news yet of the handset’s availability in the Philippines. But we’ll report it as soon as we find out. Stay tuned.
