Samsung unveils Galaxy A16 (4G), also with 6 years of support | Infinium-tech

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A16 5G a few weeks ago, but there was no mention of a 4G version – well, that’s also official now, as Samsung France has posted a press release describing the Galaxy A16 and Galaxy A16 5G as ” Such smartphones have been called “the test of time”. This is because both models will be supported for 6 years – this includes OS updates as well as security patches.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 (4G) is almost identical to its 5G sibling – it has a 6.7” FHD+ OLED display running at 90Hz, a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging, a 50+5+2MP rear and 13MP front cameras, all packed Now features a thinner 7.9mm body with IP54 dust and water resistance rating two A15 phones Measures 8.4mm thick and is not IP rated). The IP rating is a first in this category – A1x and even A2x didn’t have an official rating, you had to go up to A3x for that.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 4G uses the same chipset as its predecessor – the A15 4G – the MediaTek Helio G99.

The Galaxy A16 4G has the same 4GB RAM and 128GB storage with a microSD slot for cards up to 1TB. There’s no mention of a 3.5mm headphone jack, so we don’t think it’s coming back.

Something else was left out of the press release – the price. Looking at the A15 and A15 5G, a discount of around €50 can be expected on the 4G model.

What it does say is that the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G will be available in November (note: this is for France, but it should be a pan-European launch). The phone will come in grey, green and blue colours.
