Powerful Performance in a Sleek Package
At the heart of the Galaxy A16 4G lies the MediaTek Helio G99 processor, a chip that's proven its mettle in previous models like the A15 4G. This powerhouse ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks and light gaming.

- 2 MP macro camera for close-up creativity
- 13 MP front-facing camera for selfie enthusiasts
This versatile setup ensures you're ready to capture life's moments in various scenarios.
Long-Lasting Battery and Speedy Charging
The Galaxy A16 4G comes equipped with a hefty 5000 mAh battery, promising all-day usage for most users. When it's time to recharge, the 25W fast charging support has got you covered, though it's worth noting that the charger isn't included in the box.
Durability and Security
In a notable upgrade, Samsung has included IP54 protection against dust and water splashes, adding a layer of durability to this budget-friendly device.
Security isn't an afterthought either, with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner providing quick and secure access to your phone.
