We've finally made it. Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, which is regularly featured in leaks, has had its official, albeit quiet, premiere. What makes it stand out?

What makes the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G stand out from its competitors is the record-breaking long-term software support that the manufacturer will provide us with. Although this model does not occupy a high position in the manufacturer's hierarchy and the Galaxy A series, it will receive 6 years of support, both in terms of system version updates and security patches. Samsung Galaxy A16 5G launches with Android 14, but apparently may wait until Android 20! What else does this model have to offer?

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The manufacturer did not provide the type of processor used, but there were rumors that Samsung Galaxy A16 5G will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 6100 or Exynos 1330. The processor is supported by a modest 4 GB of RAM, as well as 128 GB of internal memory, which can be expanded with a microSD card. Power is provided by a 5000 mAh battery that charges at 25 W, and selfies are provided by a 13-megapixel front camera with an f/2.0 aperture. There are three rear cameras: the main 50 Mpx (f/1.8), a wide-angle 5 Mpx (f/2.2) and a 2 Mpx macro camera. The Galaxy A16 5G housing comes in four colours and measures 164.4x77.9x7.9 mm. In addition, the smartphone is IP54-rated and weighs 200 g. The price has not yet been disclosed.
