Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G
You can hardly get a smartphone with a colorful OLED display cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G. The manufacturer promises long updates, but little has changed compared to its predecessor. Is the Galaxy A16 4G still worth a look?

The Galaxy A16 4G upgrades the A15 4G with a larger display, ingress protection and prolonged software support - welcome additions to the already solid high-res 90Hz AMOLED and 25W fast charging.

While there is nothing particularly disappointing about the Galaxy A16 4G, we are also struggling to find anything too impressive about it either. Last year's A15 was the major update to the series, with a 90Hz refresh rate and 25W fast charging. This year, Samsung made the display a bit bigger and added IP54 ingress protection, both of which feel like very small improvements. The A16 4G still runs on the Helio G99 chip, which is a fine piece of kit but modest at best. The cameras are still the same and, frankly, kind of unimpressive.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

74.52%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
