Galaxy A16 has minimal kit. Includes SIM card tray eject pin, cable and quick start guide.
The smartphone runs on Android 14 operating system out of the box. At the same time, the company promises 6 years of support for this device.
Compared to the A15, the A16’s screen is slightly larger. Now it is a diagonal of 6.7 inches. The refresh rate here is 90 Hz, the matrix is Super AMOLED. At the same time, the smartphone has PWM, so this model is not suitable for people with sensitive vision.
The processor in the new product is the same as the previous generation. This is Helio G99. Below are the results of his test. Memory options are 4/128 GB and 8/256 GB.
The A16’s battery capacity is standard. This is 5000 mAh. Supports charging at a maximum of 25W. The device charges up to 100% in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Battery life is good, definitely enough for a day.
In terms of cameras, not much has changed compared to the previous generation. A16 has a 13 MP front camera with the ability to record video at a maximum of 1080p 30 fps. The main module has a resolution of 50 MP, wide – 5 MP, macro – 2 MP. The main camera can only shoot video at Full HD 30 fps. Photo examples are below.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a good budget smartphone, but it doesn’t offer anything particularly new compared to the previous generation. The screen has become slightly larger, the cover has become matte and the headphone jack has been removed. The cameras also take better photos than the A15. Generally, A16 is a mixture of A15 and A24. The smartphone is suitable for those who do not want to spend a lot of money and at the same time want to have most of the basic functions.
