Samsung Galaxy A16 5G review: Safe and sound

The Galaxy A15 5G was one of the very best budget phones you could buy - is its successor just as impressive?

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G

(Rating Hidden)

The Samsung A16 5G is claimed to have a high-resolution screen, an upgraded processor and a long security-update period – all for less than £200. Plus, this phone is even cheaper than its predecessor. But is it really a bargain buy, or best avoided?...

Samsung Galaxy A16 4G Review – OLED display smartphone for under 180 Euros

You'll be hard-pressed to find a smartphone with a vibrant OLED display at a lower price than the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G. Samsung promises extended software updates, but compared to its predecessor, only minor changes have been made. So, is the Galaxy...

moderate image quality of the wide-angle camera;PWM flickering;WLAN data rate with significant fluctuations

The Galaxy A16 5G isn't exciting, but there's one big reason why I think it's the best budget phone

Although the Galaxy A16 5G won't set the world on fire, you'll be able to use it until 2030, and that's not bad for $200.

Stellar software update promise ; Solid primary camera ; Decent battery life ; Great price ; Good charging

Just-okay build quality ; Aging performance ; Weak peripheral cameras ; Bland design

Ultimately, the Galaxy A16 5G is a cheap Android phone that’s “just okay” in many ways. At face value, it offers decent performance, a solid camera, and a good display, even if no one piece of the phone blows you away for $200. However, when you factor...

Galaxy A16 5G Review: $200 Phone with 6 Years of Updates!

Samsung launched another entry-level smartphone with the A16 5G. We review this handset to see if it is worth buying.

Software updates until 2030 ; Beautiful 6.7-inch display ; Very long battery life ; Expandable memory supported

Disappointing camera quality, especially at night ; Might come up short performance-wise in the next few years ; No more 3.5 mm audio port ; Long charging times

Samsung makes it difficult for us tech journalists once again! For less than $200, the Galaxy A16 5G is a smartphone that is definitely worth recommending. This is attributed to the good display, the very good battery life, and the long update warranty...

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Review: Strictly mediocre

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G recently debuted in India, priced at ₹18,999. Samsung has long catered to budget-conscious buyers with its Galaxy A series, and the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is no exception. Positioned as an affordable entry into the 5G world,...

Well-designed budget phone ; Six years of OS updates ; Decent photos in ample lighting

Display lacks HDR support ; No adaptive refresh rate ; Performance hiccups ; Stereo speakers are missing

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Review: Should You Consider it?

Here's a detailed review of the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, the latest lower mid-range offering from Samsung in India.

Display Software support timeline Build quality Battery backup Cameras

Mono speaker No design changes over last year’s Galaxy A15 5G Slow charging Inferior chipset compared to competitors Some lags during normal usage

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G looks like an appealing deal for those who want extended software support with a feature-rich experience and a long runtime. Apart from that, the Galaxy A16 5G doesn't quite impress when it comes to power, as the processor is...
