At a glance Expert's Rating Pros ・Clean, appealing design ・Punchy AMOLED display ・Impressive software update promise Cons ・Sluggish performance ・Battery life worse than A15 5G ・Poor secondary cameras Our Verdict The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is another sound budget phone that won’t let you down,

Samsung is offering six generations of full OS upgrades on the Galaxy A16 5G, a first for a product at this price point. The Galaxy A16 5G also includes a new Exynos processor, an IP rating, and a larger screen.

A lot of phones under $300 are lucky to get two major Android updates at most, so Samsung giving us six here (even if it's one less than what they commit to for their flagship phones) is pretty good. The phone starts at $199.99, and it will be available through retailers and Samsung's website starting on January 9th.
