Samsung Galaxy A16 5G - Unboxing & Full REVIEW

[@ultravaluetech24]

Let me know what else you want to know about the A16 In the Comments! I will be making tons of different Videos about it in the next few days & Will try to cover everything. Thanks for Watching!

[@AlbertdamienNdour]

Please can you do gaming tests?

[@snow-mr7lg]

A15 vs A16 would be nice, I'm looking to buy a new phone next month so would be nice to know which to go for

[@omkarchavan5940]

Does it have physical proximity sensor or the virtual one?

[@kevinkaol3681]

at launch 220 euros is crazy, you can get the A35 new at that price which demolishes this phone at everything except the 6 years of OS updates

[@czynnik_ludzki]

And yet it's better than the four times more expensive iPhone.

[@jiffonbuffo]

SOp with Samsung products is to buy them used after a few months at the expense of losing freebies. The A55 is still sold for over $400+ in my area but the used market price is sometimes cheaper than $300. If buyers know where to look at. This thing, sadly, is just $50 cheaper than my Poco X6 Pro.

[@mikesjunior3511]

That phone is not in the us so can’t get it

[@austrb]

you will be super lucky to get A35 for the same price as A16. In my place A35 is 350+ Euro, while A16 - 230 Euro.

[@darkmoon2041]

​​@@austrb In my country a35 starts from 284 to 315 usd

[@dulloomondi56]

Samsung should drop the tear drop notch and just give us the punch hole in this category

[@douglastaggart9360]

Thats why its not a high range phone

[@cryptomb]

​@@douglastaggart9360 dude transssion phones like infinix , itel and Tecno give that in their budget phones and entry level phone

Punch hole samsung a18 Screen fingerpring a19 pro plus Coz there wont be a20

[@Markpains111]

That's going to manipulate the average demand for mid range and high end devices like the S20s and A50s

[@robert4you]

I have the A15, 4 GB ram and 128 GB storage + 1 TB SD card. My experience is not that the 4 GB version is sluggish, it's very fast actually. I have an A55 as my main phone (8 GB ram and 256 GB storage + 1 TB SD card) and there is a difference - of course - but it's not night and day. The camera on my A15 produces beautifully sharp, natural, vibrant pictures. Edit: I bought my A15 on sale here in Sweden for $155, a great price for this phone.

[@frankied445]

this is the best budget phone ive seen

[@Woofer-Man]

Nice review! No 3.5mm jack? No Radio? Same boring drop notch camera design Exynos variant on some region Nah, the only major upgrade i see here over the A15 5G are the IP54 & extra 2 years OS upgrade which is quite normal as previous yrs & current yr can't have same number of OS upgrade, for me A15 5G is a better value

[@macsidia]

The fact we're getting 256GB of storage on budget phones nowadays is insane.

[@S0M30N31_y]

Honestly, it's the standard in 2024.

[@preston8872]

Finally i found a Galaxy A16 5G unboxing video ive been looking all over for one. Gonna either get this phone or a Motorola phone. But the Galaxy A16 5G hasnt launched in the US yet. They said the Galaxy A16 5G will be in the US beginning of next year.

[@anitsaha3010]

I don't understand why Samsung is removing headphone jacks from budget segment devices, it will cost around 20k in my country which is more than it's actual value. People who buy this have to pay extra amounts for the headphone adapter which makes them think about the other devices that comes in the same price range with a dedicated headphone jack.

[@bryanuchiha6166]

They want you forcely buy bluetooth ones since you saving money on a budget phone

[@VeerV637]

Samsung going towards destruction

[@markoroncevic]

2 euro for adapter

[@NowKissMyChucks]

LMFAO this comment seems about stupid... Headphone jacks Are going away buddy 😅​@@VeerV637

All i use are calling people,youtube,some social media and bank applications,very basic usage,looks likr pretty good for it :) thanks for review

[@ultravaluetech24]

Yeah there's 0 reason to get anything 'better' for 95 percent of people... This feels almost like a midrange phone!

[@ঞ্জ]

No way A16 just launched 😮... I bought A15 three weeks ago..

[@QuantumTechTraveler]

Bruh

[@QuantumTechTraveler]

You lost 2 more software updates

[@ঞ্জ]

@@QuantumTechTraveler it doesn't matter... As a former A30 user (5 yrs+) A15 was a big upgrade for me.

[@OCTOBLOX_LEAKER]

Its okay bro its not a huge upgrade a15 is still very very very very good

[@kayangeblessings4611]

Me I bought it on 16 October

[@pointblank0020]

I'm new to smartphones and I got an older A series for cheap. I'm glad I lucked out and got one with headphone jack and fingerprint sensor. I could've easily made a mistake and gotten one without jack and still paid more!

[@ultravaluetech24]

Yup 👍 it's ridiculous 😂

[@jesuspuhwillreturn]

Not a cheap, but call budget❤ thanks for video bro❤🎉 Samsung always best…

[@مقارنات_الجيوش]

the problem no glass protection on the display so any drop the display will break and buy new expensive monitor

Does it support eSim?

like how you wrote it on paper 👍 , feels better to look rather than context switch to digital texts 😵‍💫

[@animatronicgoofy]

No thanks I'm going to hold onto my a15 5g as long as I can since they removed the headphone jack

[@rocketjumptutorial]

crazy right? i just hope they keep the aux port on a2x series (they probably release a26 without a headphone jack)

[@mr_adugyamfi]

Does it have the optical image stabilization feature? 🤔

[@gurukiransingh7568]

I love what I’m seeing with the Galaxy A16 specs! The Mediatek Dimensity 6300 will make it fly!

[@lazylegend9148]

Is that exynos or mediatec version?

[@jon-jonguevarra72]

There's two choices in Samsung Galaxy A16 series: MediaTek Dinensity 6300 (5G variant) while MediaTek Helio G99 (LTE variant).

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

[@shaheemhanley9055]

They removed the headphone jack and didn't add a dual speaker in the space. Such a bummer.

[@summerwintermelon]

I do not like this box-type of phone. I prefer the slim and narrow ones😔 I've had S23 FE. They're wide and thick to hold, unlike the S20-S22 series

Does it take good pictures? Is the video shaky and jerky? I am using Galaxy A15, the video is shaky and jerky a lot? What about Galaxy A16?

A15 and A16 are almost identical, including quality of photo and video. Optical stabilization is used in much more expensive smartphones.

@@austrb Thanks u

When will a26 launch?

[@ultravaluetech24]

I don't think there will be a26 this year

[@mr.compress6009]

Is real?

[@GeoffreyAngapa]

Thanks for the review. I think the six years of updates is a gimmick to hide the lack of hardware improvement. Also, no headphone jack. So, one will have to weigh the price of this against the A15.

[@ultravaluetech24]

Nah I don't think most care about OS updates.. the CPU and camera definitely is much better than on the a15 I had... Again in real life you can actually see clear improvement. The cameras on a15 were dreadful... Maybe only If you check online specs there isnt any difference...

[@GeoffreyAngapa]

@@ultravaluetech24 You're right. Your testing showed that the CPU and camera are improved, despite looking much the same on paper. I was excited about this phone but disappointed when I saw the specs. Honestly, I'm considering going for the A15 by Black Friday because it will likely be cheaper. And as you point out, that phone is far from ideal. I will have to think.

[@keitataniguchi7022]

@@ultravaluetech24 people buy samsung for software, the A16 is similar in all points to a realme 10 (2022 phone) with the later being less expensive and it has some better specs (gorilla glass, higher brightness, hdr, 33w charging with charger included in the box) and yet i would rather get the samsung for the soft

[@JoelO-j4j]

If Apple launched the headphone jack then Samsung will follow them

[@xpertruckgamers23]

Buy A15 , this a16 doesn’t make sense

[@ghostofcoolidge245]

Good phone. Not worth the starting price. I'd wait until it drops to below $180. 8GB RAM version of course, anything less than 8GB RAM is not worth the time of day.

[@possiblehophny5595]

The Samsung smartphone manufacturer need to change the shape of the phone especially on the camera design, because all the Samsung phones are just looking the same at the back camera 📸 designs, now there's no a difference between those phones, now you don't know if it's a Samsung 15,16 or its Oe5 or Oe4, all just the same even the menu,....

[@ultravaluetech24]

Sure, but can't change shape much of a square 😂 95% people will put it in case anyway so it will look the same anyway

[@dektarlke]

Another problem with Samsung is that they aren't installing in built auto call recorder and screen recorder, tell e the reason please
