Samsung Galaxy A16 5G announced with record-breaking software support

07 October 2024
Samsung's latest budget device will be supported until October 2030.

I honestly don't think 2 years of software support is that bad. Especially for a budget phone like this that'll perform horribly by 2026.

    6 years of software support for a budget (low-spec) phone? Useless! Just marketing strat.

      S6 : 6.8mm + jack
      A16 : 7.9mm + no jack

      Just another proof it is on purpose, not need to be done

They definitely had better choices to make this slab a bit more compelling over others.

Even my paperweight Galaxy J3 didn't struggle this much with pre-installed apps, at least.

            Yeah,'cause you are gonna be so up to date in 2030 with your 90hz notch display phone running on an Exynos 1330 or Dimensity 6300 with 4GB of RAM lmao

              WW3, 9 hours agoBezzle should be slimmer and dual speaker must be present.A55 and S23 have it.
              They’re actually more value for money.
              Less than double the price of A16 but twice as better.

                6 years with 1330 and 4GB ram! Then what happened to other A Series?

                  Good to see the awesomeness that is the totally useless (and totally not simply a way for oem’s to say their devices have one extra camera) 2mp macro camera is not going anywhere 😉

                    4 GB with 6 yrs software support?


                    that will be only last 2 to 3 years usage for software support

                        With Samsung support so long ,you can save money and buy an older recon model . No need to buy new .

                          IP54, 4GB RAM, weak Dimensity 6300 / Exynos 1330 which is also UFS 2.2 and still U notch, how is this a future proof phone until 2030?

                            Longer support is good and all but there's no way this phone can last 6 years lol

                                    "Monthly patches/security patches" that arrive 2 or 3 months after the month they are supposed to be updated. - right samsung.

                                    My S22u are in OneUI 6.1.1 but my S24u are only in 6.1 - explain this samsung. And security patches even if you make them, you are not pushing them on time.
