When it comes to budget phones, most of the time you get what you pay for. You typically get a phone that’s enough to get the job done, nothing more, nothing less. But if you’re shopping on a budget and want something value for money, perhaps the new Samsung Galaxy A16 could be the phone for you.
This is because the Galaxy A16 is essentially the cheapest phone you can get from Samsung that promises six major Android OS updates. The phone comes with Android 14 preinstalled, but with the six years of Android updates, you can expect it to last up to Android 20 which will probably come in 2029. That’s honestly pretty insane for a phone of that price.
The Galaxy A16 comes with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset can be found with 4GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and a microSD card slot for memory expansion. It also packs a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging.
As for its cameras, it has a 50MP main shooter, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro, with a 13MP selfie cam to top things off. It does not support 5G, but if that’s not an issue for you then this phone has everything you need for day-to-day smartphone tasks. There’s no official word on pricing yet but based on its specs, it most definitely will not break the bank.
