Samsung has a new budget phone in town, the Galaxy A16 5G, and you might not know it but the Galaxy A1X series are among the world's top 10 best-selling phones.
Apart from that, you still have a plastic back and plastic frame, which help the A16 5G feel just as light as the A15 5G, but at the same time... just as plasticky, too. Both phones also support 90Hz fast refresh rate for smooth scrolling, which is a welcome addition. Overall, these are good-looking screen! We know a few more expensive phones that still rock older LCD panels that look WAY worse than this, so the display is actually one of the advantages of the A16 over the competition.With the A16 5G, Samsung makes the jump to an Exynos 1330 chipset, a 5nm processor, which is... passable. Also, it's still coupled with the same insufficient 4GB RAM.
The 3D Mark gaming test on the other hand shows almost no improvement on the A16 5G, which means that you won't be playing much Genshin Impact on this phone. It's just too slow for those more intense games, but hey, casual games will run okay.CameraSame camera hardware, but colors in images actually look different
On our first and lightest, web browsing test, the A16 5G got close to 10 hours, while the older model scored an hour more. Similar story on our YouTube video test, and finally, on our 3D gaming test, there was a smaller difference of half an hour.
