Overview

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is a budget smartphone with a big 6.7-inch AMOLED screen. It has a 1080 x 2340 resolution, for a pin-sharp 385 pixels per inch, and it has a smooth 90Hz refresh rate.

So its screen impresses, particularly considering the low price of the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, and its battery is also worth highlighting, as at 5,000mAh it’s just as big as the battery in the top-end Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

That can deliver up to 18 hours of video playback or 16 hours of web browsing, and it can juice up quickly too, with 25W charging.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G also has loads of cameras. There are three on the back – a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro snapper – along with one on the front, with a 13MP sensor.

So you have a lot of photography options here, and there’s also a lot of potential storage space, because along with the 128GB of built in storage, there’s a microSD card slot, with support for cards of up to 1.5TB.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G also supports 5G of course, and despite all that tech in it it’s slim at just 7.9mm thick. Plus, its IP54 rating ensures it’s dust and splash resistant, and Samsung promises up to six generations of operating system upgrades and security updates with the Galaxy A16 5G, so its software will be up to date for a long time.
