Without a doubt, Samsung always tries to grow every year, changing the most important things about mobile phones so that its new products are not an identical rehash of the previous version. The same thing happens for the Galaxy A16 5G which, while retaining some features of its predecessor, adds new features that are more than justifiable to get it.
On the screen it has increased, both in size and quality, having a 6.7 inch screen with Super AMOLED panel (something not common in cheap Samsung phones). Its resolution is FHD+ and comes with a 90Hz refresh rate.
For now the processor section is just speculation, as it seems to depend on the area It could be the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 or the Exynos 1330. The official site did not confirm anything similar, nor did it reveal the processors, but on similar sites GSMArena It’s already taken for granted.
The rear camera remains in the same range: a 50 MP main sensoraccompanied by another 5 MP ultra wide angle and another 2 MP macro. The quality of the camera allows this records videos in FHD resolution at 30 fps. For its part, the front is equipped with a 13 MP sensor.
All this is supported by a 5000mAh battery with 25W fast chargingwhich could promise the same autonomy or even less than that of its more humble past version. Other notable features that make life easier while running errands or daily tasks are dual-band WiFi, 5G connectivity, NFC and Bluetooth 5.3.
As we said before, this mobile will have up to 6 years of updates, which will allow you to receive up to Android 20 likely. However, it must be taken into account that, among Samsung’s conditions, it is specified that this policy may change (possibly to shorten times in case profitability is not sufficient).

This mobile phone is available in three colors: black, blue and grey. It is available for purchase on the official Samsung website, for the moment, only in France and the Netherlands. The price of the device is 229 euroswith only one configuration available.
