Samsung Electronics announced in the Philippines the launch of the latest
Galaxy A smartphones — the new Galaxy A16
5G and LTE. These new, affordable smartphones bring stunning improvements
to the A series lineup, combining immersive visuals, sleek designs, and secure,
reliable experiences; elevating everyday experiences for its users.
Galaxy A16 5G and LTE adopt Samsung's signature Galaxy design language, featuring refined, rounded corners and a linear camera lens layout.

The Galaxy A16 LTE on the other hand comes in Black, Grey, and an online exclusive color -- Light Green, giving users plenty of stylish options.
Immersive experience with FHD+ Super
AMOLED display
Galaxy A16 5G and LTE feature a
6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a notable upgrade from last year’s 6.5-inch
screen on the A15 series. The Super AMOLED display provides scenes with
true-to-life colors and sharp clarity, making the display ideal for watching
videos, gaming, or browsing content.
The Galaxy A16 series also introduces
an improved, sleeker design, with a thinner body measuring just 7.9mm—down from
8.4mm in last year’s A15 series. The streamlined bezels further emphasize the
6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, helping users better immerse in content and
gameplay while enhancing the overall screen size and visual experience.
In addition, the key island design provides a sleek look and feel, which contributes to an easy and intuitive grip on the Galaxy A16, making the device more comfortable to hold for daily use.
Reliability and enhanced security
Samsung’s commitment to reliability
and security is at the core of the Galaxy A16 series. Both the A16 5G and LTE
are IP54-rated[1] for
dust and water resistance.
The Galaxy A16 series will also receive 6 generations of One UI and Android OS updates, as well as 6 years of Samsung Security Maintenance Releases (SMR), keeping the device secure and up to date. Samsung Knox Vault is also integrated into the Galaxy A16 series, providing high-level security to protect private, personal data such as user passwords and secrets from hardware-based attacks including voltage glitches, temperature tampering, and laser interference.
High-resolution triple camera
For photography lovers, the Galaxy A16 5G and LTE variants come equipped with a versatile triple lens, headlined by a 50MP main sensor that captures stunning photos in any conditions. Accompanied by a 5MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro lens, the A16 series ensures every shot is detailed and vibrant.
