The cost-effective Galaxy A16 4G and 5G variants from Samsung can be found on certification sites

Samsung is getting ready to release the Galaxy A16, their newest low-cost smartphone. There will be two variants of the Galaxy A16 available: one that supports 4G LTE and another that has 5G connectivity. Recently, information about the features and specifications of the forthcoming Galaxy A16 series was leaked on certification platforms operated by TUV Rheinland and the FCC. This suggests that the formal launch announcement could happen soon.

Samsung Galaxy A16: current knowledge

The Samsung Galaxy A16 devices are anticipated to be the company's next entry-level models; they will replace the Galaxy A15, which debuted in December 2023.

Galaxy A16 4G

The 'Status Information' image of the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G, which shows the Mac address, Wi-Fi Mac Address, and serial number, was noticed on the USA's FCC certification platform.

The phone is said to offer 4G LTE, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, and has the FCC ID A3LSMA165M.

The data cable (EP-DN980) and charger (EP-TA800) model numbers are likewise disclosed in the FCC listings.

Both the 4G and 5G models will enable 18W fast charging (at 9v and 2.77 A), according to the TUV Rheinland listing, while a 25W adaptor might be included in the package.

Galaxy A16 5G

The FCC ID for the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is A3LSMA166M, and its model number is SM-A166B/DS.

The 5G model appears to have 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC connection, according to the FCC filing. A potential triple camera configuration is hinted at in a sketch found on the listing.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G may have a rated battery capacity of 4860mAh and a usual capacity of 5,000mAh, according to the TUV Rheinland certification. The battery has model number W3-S-S.

The listings confirm 18W fast charging support (at 9v and 2.77 A), maybe paired with a 25W adaptor, similar to the 4G version.

Release and accessibility

The Samsung India website has listed the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G and Galaxy A16 5G, indicating that they will soon be available for purchase. Additionally, the 5G version has surfaced on the NBTC platform, suggesting a broader release date. According to a recent source, the 5G version might be released by the end of September and might include six years' worth of operating system updates. The purportedly leaked renders of the phone have already made its design public.

Consumers, in my opinion, are especially drawn to the idea of an affordable smartphone with 5G capabilities and the potential for expanded software support. I'm interested in learning the 4G and 5G devices' official specs, costs, and how they compare to other low-cost smartphones on the market.Release and accessibility
