The Samsung Galaxy A16, now available in Singapore, features larger screens, enhanced designs, and improved reliability. Available in 5G and LTE versions, the Galaxy A16 offers immersive visuals, a sleek look, as well as secure and reliable experiences with Samsung Knox, all at an accessible price point.
The Galaxy A16 has an improved, sleeker design, with a body measuring 7.9 mm in thickness—down from 8.4 mm in last year’s Galaxy A15. Rounded corners and a linear camera lens layout are design highlights, while a 'key island' design contributes to an easy and intuitive grip. The device has an IP54-rating* for dust and water resistance.
Streamlined bezels further emphasise the 6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED display. The display is a notable upgrade from last year’s 6.5" screen on the Galaxy A15. Super AMOLED provides true-to-life colours and sharp clarity, which is ideal for watching videos, gaming, or browsing content.
Under the hood, an advanced octa-core processor ensures smooth performance for high-quality videos, games, and multitasking. Users can stay connected throughout the day with the 5,000 mAh battery and 25 W Super-Fast Charging capability.
