Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A16 5G a few weeks in the past, however there was no point out of a 4G model – nicely, that’s now official too, as Samsung France posted a press launch that calls the Galaxy A16 and Galaxy A16 5G “smartphones that stand the check of time”. It is because each fashions can be supported for six years – this consists of OS updates in addition to safety patches.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 (4G) is almost equivalent to its 5G sibling – it has a 6.7” FHD+ OLED show operating at 90Hz, a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging, a 50+5+2MP rear and 13MP entrance cameras, all packed right into a slimmer 7.9mm physique now with an IP54 mud and water resistance ranking (the two A15 telephones measure 8.4mm thick and don’t have an IP ranking). The IP ranking is a primary on this class – A1x and even A2x didn’t have an official ranking, you needed to go as much as A3x for that.

The Galaxy A16 4G has the identical 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage with a microSD slot for playing cards as much as 1TB. There’s no point out of a 3.5mm headphone jack, so we don’t suppose that’s coming again.
The press launch skips over one thing else – the worth. Judging by the A15 and A15 5G, a reduction of round €50 is to be anticipated for the 4G mannequin.
