Our review
On design and display, the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G gives you a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, 90Hz in a 200g body — that gives you plenty of room for video, maps and everyday reading. For performance, the Exynos 1330 is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage — that suits the everyday basics best — calls, messaging, banking, socials and browsing — rather than heavy gaming. For cameras, you get 50MP main + 5MP ultrawide + 2MP macro, plus a 13MP selfie camera — that is a simple, honest set-up for everyday snaps rather than pro-style shooting. Battery is 5,000mAh, and charging is 25W wired — that is built for long days — road trips, big work days and weekends away from a charger. Here in Australia it sells for A$349 including GST — that makes it one of the easiest phones on this page to recommend on value — you get a lot of phone for the money.
Who it's for: Regional travellers, tradies and anyone who spends long days away from a charger, students, families and value hunters and first-phone buyers.
