Samsung appears to be prepping a 4G phone with 6 years update support for the budget-conscious consumer. Reliable tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore has spilled the beans on the alleged 4G model, revealing its design, specs, and even the price point.
Key differences of the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G vs. its 5G variant
While the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G may look identical to its 5G counterpart, there are some key differences under the hood. Powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset and paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the A16 4G offers a solid performance at an affordable price.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this device is the promised 6 years of software updates. However, given its modest specifications and the older processor, it remains to be seen if it can truly keep up with the latest Android versions for that long.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 4G boasts a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals and vibrant colors. The camera setup is also similar to the 5G model, featuring a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. For selfies and video calls, there’s a 13MP front-facing camera.
Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery, which should provide ample endurance for most users. Additional features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a mono speaker, and basic dust and water resistance with an IP54 rating. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, and a USB 2.0 port.
Estimated PH price
The most exciting aspect of the upcoming 4G device is its expected price. According to the leak, the 4/128GB variant will retail for EUR 199 (roughly PHP 12,486.76), making it a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers.
While these details are based on leaks and rumors, it’s clear that the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G offers a solid package for its price. We’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Samsung to confirm these specifications and pricing.
