In the case of A55, they region locked the 12gb ram yellow variant to countries like India.

Don't buy a smartphone without OIS on the main camera. You will waste your money.

the A1x series should cost about 150 at most, this price should be reserved for A3x

If Infinix can launch near-e-waste phones at cheaper prices and make them have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, then so can Samsung with their more expensive Samsung Galaxy A16. 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage are both extremely cheap, Samsung has ZERO excuse in not using them here, especially when the phone's longevity literally depends on it.

I'm surprised that no one has commented that 4GB RAM is not the ONLY RAM variant this phone has, that there is a 6GB and 8GB variant as well.

250 euro is way too much for this, Samsung is becoming more expensive

The ultrawide and macro cameras of that resolution are less useful than the headphone jack..and 4gb of ram? For 6 years? What a joke

Snapdragon 695 hater, 07 Oct 2024What I love about the comments section on GSMA is that when... moreSamsung is absolutely the worst at milking brand name and giving unusable budget/midrange phones. My business phone is A22 and it literally can't handle YT music playing in the background, just shuts it down after few songs lol

Software support until 2030, with specs that came out of 2017!
If anything, 2 years at most and this device will be dropped quietly.

What I love about the comments section on GSMA is that when there's any news on a budget phone everyone starts cooking in the comments section 🤣. Rightfully so though. I mean 4gb of RAM in 2024 for 249 euros?!
I brought a Moto G82 for £280 back 2 years ago and it has a somewhat respectable 6GB of RAM and oh yeah....IT HAS A HEADPHONE JACK!!

It's not going to perform that optimal in so many years. Software is becoming more demanding.

We can only applaude such long software support for a phone like this. Though I'm not always agreeing with some of the recent moves Samsung made, this is good news, and that's note worthy.

Can it even run properly after 2027?

Good move. But will it run properly with weak hardware? At least go for A36 or A56 if you want Samsung but can't afford a flagship.

I'm not that optimistic with the future-proof software stability and long-term use of sustainable performance of A16 5G with the configuration of MediaTek Dimensity 6300 configuration consists of Cortex-A76 with the option 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage (despite using UFS) in 6 years to come and amount of updates. The Exynos 1330 configuration consists of Cortex-A78 with the option 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB is much better and hopeful though. But we'll see in the future though, considering Galaxy Note10 and S10 series latest update messed the devices' stability.
