The newly announced Samsung Galaxy A16 5G has landed at our headquarters for review, but before we get into that, let’s quickly unpack it and see what it has to offer.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G comes in a white retail box, including some paperwork, a SIM eject tool, and a charging cable. We have the blue model, but there are three more colors you can choose from.
On the front, we have a 6.7-inch FullHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display with a notch for the 13MP selfie camera. However, there is no fingerprint scanner underneath as it is embedded in the power button.
Flip the phone over, and you’ll see a plastic back cover with a triple camera setup aligned vertically in the left corner. This is a combination of 50MP main camera, 5MP ultrawide and 2MP macro.
Inside is an Exynos 1330 SoC with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G runs One UI 6.1 based on Android 14 and comes with the promise of six years of Android upgrades and six years of security updates, which is one of the biggest highlights of this smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is IP54 rated, and keeping the whole package running is a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W charging support. But if you don’t have a compatible power adapter, you’ll have to spend extra money as the smartphone doesn’t come with one.
We’ll start our review process soon, so stay tuned to find out if the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is worth buying.
