The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G has officially launched, bringing an impressive promise of 6 years of support for both Android version updates and security patches. This means you can expect the device to stay up to date with the latest Android features until October 2030!
In addition to its impressive software support, the Galaxy A16 5G features a stunning 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate.
When it comes to specifications, things are a bit unclear. European models will be equipped with the Exynos 1330 chipset, while those in India and Thailand are expected to come with the Dimensity 6300.
The Galaxy A16 5G offers some solid configurations, with options of up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Plus, it supports microSD cards of up to 1.5TB, giving you plenty of space for all your apps and media. It will come pre-installed with One UI 6.1, based on Android 14, right out of the box.
The Galaxy A16 5G features a versatile triple-rear camera system, which includes a 50-megapixel main lens, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor for those close-up shots. On the front, there’s a 13-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
It’s powered by a robust 5,000mAh battery that supports 25W charging through USB Type-C, ensuring you stay connected all day. Plus, it comes with IP54 dust and splash resistance, so it can handle a bit of the elements. You’ll also find a convenient side-mounted fingerprint sensor that doubles as the power button.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G will be available in Dark Blue, Light Green, Light Gray, and Gold color options, though the specific colors may vary by region.
In France, the phone is priced at EUR 249 (around PHP 15,000) for the 4GB/128GB model. We’ll keep you posted on its arrival in the Philippines as we get more details since this story is still unfolding.
