Samsung is increasingly focusing on the longevity of its smartphones. But if you expect updates a bit with high-end devices, the same can’t be said for phones sold at budget prices. However, the situation could soon change, at least on the Android front, starting with the new Samsung Galaxy A16 5G.
This is in fact the name of the new budget smartphone from the Korean company, which promises exceptional software support: six years of guaranteed Android updates. But let’s see in more detail what it looks like, when it will arrive and, above all, how much it costs.
Everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G makes headlines above all for its long-term support, a feature that is usually reserved for high-end models: this is the case, for example, of the 7 years of updates guaranteed for the S24 Ultra. However, it is also interesting to see what the specifications of this new model will be.

The photographic sector is composed of a 50 MP main camera, a 5 MP ultra-wide angle and a 2 MP macro; the front camera is 13 MP. The equipment is completed by a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging and IP54 certification for resistance to dust and water.

The list price is 249 euros, while the release date is not yet official: however, considering the end of update support on 31 October 2030, it is plausible that the A16 5G will arrive by the end of the month.
