Let me know what else you want to know about the A16 In the Comments! I will be making tons of different Videos about it in the next few days & Will try to cover everything. Thanks for Watching!
SOp with Samsung products is to buy them used after a few months at the expense of losing freebies. The A55 is still sold for over $400+ in my area but the used market price is sometimes cheaper than $300. If buyers know where to look at. This thing, sadly, is just $50 cheaper than my Poco X6 Pro.
Nice review! No 3.5mm jack? No Radio? Same boring drop notch camera design Exynos variant on some region Nah, the only major upgrade i see here over the A15 5G are the IP54 & extra 2 years OS upgrade which is quite normal as previous yrs & current yr can't have same number of OS upgrade, for me A15 5G is a better value
Finally i found a Galaxy A16 5G unboxing video ive been looking all over for one. Gonna either get this phone or a Motorola phone. But the Galaxy A16 5G hasnt launched in the US yet. They said the Galaxy A16 5G will be in the US beginning of next year.
I'm new to smartphones and I got an older A series for cheap. I'm glad I lucked out and got one with headphone jack and fingerprint sensor. I could've easily made a mistake and gotten one without jack and still paid more!
I have the A15, 4 GB ram and 128 GB storage + 1 TB SD card. My experience is not that the 4 GB version is sluggish, it's very fast actually. I have an A55 as my main phone (8 GB ram and 256 GB storage + 1 TB SD card) and there is a difference - of course - but it's not night and day. The camera on my A15 produces beautifully sharp, natural, vibrant pictures. Edit: I bought my A15 on sale here in Sweden for $155, a great price for this phone.
I don't understand why Samsung is removing headphone jacks from budget segment devices, it will cost around 20k in my country which is more than it's actual value. People who buy this have to pay extra amounts for the headphone adapter which makes them think about the other devices that comes in the same price range with a dedicated headphone jack.
Good phone. Not worth the starting price. I'd wait until it drops to below $180. 8GB RAM version of course, anything less than 8GB RAM is not worth the time of day.
Thanks for the review. I think the six years of updates is a gimmick to hide the lack of hardware improvement. Also, no headphone jack. So, one will have to weigh the price of this against the A15.
Nah I don't think most care about OS updates.. the CPU and camera definitely is much better than on the a15 I had... Again in real life you can actually see clear improvement. The cameras on a15 were dreadful... Maybe only If you check online specs there isnt any difference...
@@ultravaluetech24 You're right. Your testing showed that the CPU and camera are improved, despite looking much the same on paper. I was excited about this phone but disappointed when I saw the specs. Honestly, I'm considering going for the A15 by Black Friday because it will likely be cheaper. And as you point out, that phone is far from ideal. I will have to think.
@@ultravaluetech24 people buy samsung for software, the A16 is similar in all points to a realme 10 (2022 phone) with the later being less expensive and it has some better specs (gorilla glass, higher brightness, hdr, 33w charging with charger included in the box) and yet i would rather get the samsung for the soft

Look compact and simple. This is cool, for budget phone. It have 3 different function (real camera), High, Wide and macro. This is enough for daily usage. FHD and 800 nits.. is enough for indoor.
SCREW SAMSUNG I DECIDED TO TRY AN ANDROID AND I FOOLISHLY BOUGHT A SAMSUNG S21 THEN A MONTH LATER RANDOM GREEN LINES START POPPING UP ,THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY DAMAGE ON THE DEVICE. WHAT A SCAM
The Samsung smartphone manufacturer need to change the shape of the phone especially on the camera design, because all the Samsung phones are just looking the same at the back camera 📸 designs, now there's no a difference between those phones, now you don't know if it's a Samsung 15,16 or its Oe5 or Oe4, all just the same even the menu,....
Lol having a giant hole in the middle of the screen is so last year too! That shit came out back in 2018, stop with that. Bring back the traditional bezels on top like Sony Xperia phones are doing. That's how they should be.
actually its Law for mid and high range. Headphone jack for old farts and not even for poors and soon gonna vanish. Seriously orderr now and see No cable free. I strongly recomend cheap and legit and good but no premium samsung buds Fe.. YOu gonna love it grand pa ...Take your comments now to trash can. Stop judge and give it a try. Dont write go try new stuff before go underground
Its not always like that. My previous A34 had an s-amoled display and included AOD. However can agree that because it has an amoled screen, wont guarantee it to have AOD (As previously seen in the A33 and A15).@@mikesjunior3511

Please can you do gaming tests?
A15 vs A16 would be nice, I'm looking to buy a new phone next month so would be nice to know which to go for
Does it have physical proximity sensor or the virtual one?
at launch 220 euros is crazy, you can get the A35 new at that price which demolishes this phone at everything except the 6 years of OS updates
And yet it's better than the four times more expensive iPhone.

That phone is not in the us so can’t get it
you will be super lucky to get A35 for the same price as A16. In my place A35 is 350+ Euro, while A16 - 230 Euro.
@@austrb
In my country a35 starts from 284 to 315 usd
No way A16 just launched 😮... I bought A15 three weeks ago..
Bruh
You lost 2 more software updates
@@QuantumTechTraveler it doesn't matter... As a former A30 user (5 yrs+) A15 was a big upgrade for me.
Its okay bro its not a huge upgrade a15 is still very very very very good
Me I bought it on 16 October
Nice review!
No 3.5mm jack?
No Radio?
Same boring drop notch camera design
Exynos variant on some region

GSMArena says only the LTE version will have 3.5mm jack.
@@felipesantiagolucas Oh, i see
Ok
Samsung should drop the tear drop notch and just give us the punch hole in this category
Thats why its not a high range phone
@@douglastaggart9360 dude transssion phones like infinix , itel and Tecno give that in their budget phones and entry level phone
@@douglastaggart9360 even moto g phones have punch hole lol
Punch hole samsung a18

Coz there wont be a20
That's going to manipulate the average demand for mid range and high end devices like the S20s and A50s
All i use are calling people,youtube,some social media and bank applications,very basic usage,looks likr pretty good for it :) thanks for review
Yeah there's 0 reason to get anything 'better' for 95 percent of people... This feels almost like a midrange phone!

They want you forcely buy bluetooth ones since you saving money on a budget phone
Samsung going towards destruction
2 euro for adapter
The fact we're getting 256GB of storage on budget phones nowadays is insane.
Not a cheap, but call budget❤ thanks for video bro❤🎉 Samsung always best…
Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share your knowledge with us. Greetings from Croatia.
No thanks I'm going to hold onto my a15 5g as long as I can since they removed the headphone jack
I do not like this box-type of phone. I prefer the slim and narrow ones😔 I've had S23 FE. They're wide and thick to hold, unlike the S20-S22 series
Which one is better, infinix note 40 pro or samsung a16 5g
Theyre starting to make those cheap phones better and better
Lovely phone. Hope it launches in Pakistan
If you scratch the frame, can you tell me what color the plastic underneath is?
Does it have the optical image stabilization feature? 🤔
Aaaand here am I with a Galaxy M30s (2018).
Does it support eSim?
New subscriber great video & unboxing but one downside no headphone jack sucks
is the battery good like the a15 4g?
Yup, it's excellent!
How's the camera
Main camera in good light is very decent. Selfie camera sucks
Viewing this video on an old Galaxy A13 5G. I plan on upgrading September 2025.
Same case. I am waiting for a26
@@DJFLAMEkeI don't have a device I'm waiting for, I'll pick one, when the time arrives.
Is that exynos or mediatec version?
There's two choices in Samsung Galaxy A16 series: MediaTek Dinensity 6300 (5G variant) while MediaTek Helio G99 (LTE variant).
Super display ❤
Good phone. Not worth the starting price. I'd wait until it drops to below $180. 8GB RAM version of course, anything less than 8GB RAM is not worth the time of day.
Yup
Can you please provide a Google drive link with the sample images taken with this phone? Btw, great video brother
They removed the headphone jack and didn't add a dual speaker in the space. Such a bummer.
Hi, does Galaxy A16 5G SM A166B/DS use exynos 1330 chip?

Good video, keep it up please
Buy A15 , this a16 doesn’t make sense
Avessi visto prima la tua recensione, avrei risparmiato i soldi spesi per acquistare Galaxy S24 FE
no more FM radio function right? if that is the case, this is a downgrade from the A15 5G
Yup no FM :(
The a15 didn't have it ethier
A15 5G & the 4G both have (FM Radio function), here in the Philippines
A16 is a Really very good phone
Another problem with Samsung is that they aren't installing in built auto call recorder and screen recorder, tell e the reason please
Yes this sucks, there is no other reason othen than they are trying to get you to spend more money on higher model which has those features 😂😂
Nice review!
Does it take good pictures? Is the video shaky and jerky? I am using Galaxy A15, the video is shaky and jerky a lot? What about Galaxy A16?
A15 and A16 are almost identical, including quality of photo and video. Optical stabilization is used in much more expensive smartphones.
@@austrb Thanks u
So they got rid of the headphone jack for an ip rating...but compared to the a15 those slimer bezels look really good
How much will it be and when will it release in the US?
It might not come in the us some of the A series are out of the us
Samsung really do need to change the design of the cheap phones and S series phones this looks no different than my £1,000 S24 plus
Why is that a problem?
what do u want then ? samsung giving the A series some absurd chinese design?
Is real?
It's unfair to compare 4gb A15 with 8gb A16. Come on!
I agree

crazy that they took away the headphone jack💀
please make a battery drain test
Only people who does not no about phone's will buy that
In 2024?
FYI A14 and A15 both were the best selling android phones in the world
When will a26 launch?
I don't think there will be a26 this year
Does it have eSIM support?
Nop
me praying my region doesn't get exynos chip
ممتاز ❤
Every year asking for compact sized phones, then Samsung increasing the phone size gradually, wtf
The a15 is exceptionally small compared to the a16 a06 and a14 it feels comfortable in hand
Made in veitnam really 😊
Nice unit.
Thanks but I'll stick with phones you can throw fresh batts in.
Look compact and simple. This is cool, for budget phone. It have 3 different function (real camera), High, Wide and macro. This is enough for daily usage. FHD and 800 nits.. is enough for indoor.
If Apple launched the headphone jack then Samsung will follow them

Sure, but can't change shape much of a square 😂 95% people will put it in case anyway so it will look the same anyway
Nice

It's average 😂
nice bezzel
Tear drop notch is so last decade. Samsung needs to be serious
Lol having a giant hole in the middle of the screen is so last year too! That shit came out back in 2018, stop with that. Bring back the traditional bezels on top like Sony Xperia phones are doing. That's how they should be.
❤❤❤
They should remove this round camera from top. Its screwing my mind
A15 cameras are identical
Need back cover and screen guard
Also you get six software of update!
❤
6 android updates😱
Using S22 4 android updates 😢
bruhhhh 6gb is kinda sluggish, and now they released the 4gb ram, wtf
Why boxy design! It makes a phone look and feel big
No-charger,no-audio-jack is a ridiculous shit from Samsung. Nothing can convince me to buy these phones 😢
