Elevating Everyday with the New Samsung Galaxy A16

Samsung Electronics announced in the Philippines the launch of the latest Galaxy A smartphones — the new Galaxy A16 5G and LTE. These new, affordable smartphones bring stunning improvements to the A series lineup, combining immersive visuals, sleek designs, and secure, reliable experiences; elevating everyday experiences for its users.

The latest additions to the Galaxy A series smartphone family feature larger screens, enhanced designs, and improved reliability for an exceptional user experience.

Galaxy A16 5G and LTE adopt Samsung's signature Galaxy design language, featuring refined, rounded corners and a linear camera lens layout. Available in a range of premium colors, the Galaxy A16 5G offers Blue Black and Gold. The Galaxy A16 LTE on the other hand comes in Black, Grey, and an online exclusive color -- Light Green, giving users plenty of stylish options.

Immersive experience with FHD+ Super AMOLED display

Galaxy A16 5G and LTE feature a 6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a notable upgrade from last year’s 6.5-inch screen on the A15 series. The Super AMOLED display provides scenes with true-to-life colors and sharp clarity, making the display ideal for watching videos, gaming, or browsing content.

The Galaxy A16 series also introduces an improved, sleeker design, with a thinner body measuring just 7.9mm—down from 8.4mm in last year’s A15 series. The streamlined bezels further emphasize the 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, helping users better immerse in content and gameplay while enhancing the overall screen size and visual experience.

In addition, the key island design provides a sleek look and feel, which contributes to an easy and intuitive grip on the Galaxy A16, making the device more comfortable to hold for daily use.

Reliability and enhanced security

Samsung’s commitment to reliability and security is at the core of the Galaxy A16 series. Both the A16 5G and LTE are IP54-rated for dust and water resistance.

The Galaxy A16 series will also receive 6 generations of One UI and Android OS updates, as well as 6 years of Samsung Security Maintenance Releases (SMR), keeping the device secure and up to date. Samsung Knox Vault is also integrated into the Galaxy A16 series, providing high-level security to protect private, personal data such as user passwords and secrets from hardware-based attacks including voltage glitches, temperature tampering, and laser interference.

High-resolution triple camera

For photography lovers, the Galaxy A16 5G and LTE variants come equipped with a versatile triple lens, headlined by a 50MP main sensor that captures stunning photos in any conditions. Accompanied by a 5MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro lens, the A16 series ensures every shot is detailed and vibrant. Selfie enthusiasts can enjoy sharper, more joyful selfies with the 13MP front camera, which can focus on details, sharpness, and color rendition if any.

Enhanced performance and long-lasting battery life

Under the hood, the Galaxy A16 5G boasts a performance boost thanks to its advanced octa-core processor, ensuring smooth and flawless performance for high-quality videos, games, and multitasking.
