17 October 2024
It's basically the same phone as the Galaxy A16 5G - other than the 5G part, of course.

    This processor is questionable how it will handle this current android and one ui after a year... And big question is what type of memory this phone uses, is its ufs (I doubt it wil be faster than 2.2) or even worse eMMC, cos that is importat to for longevity, smoothness and stability of the phone...

        G99 to 2030? oof in advance for all the users

          It seems that the only design change Samsung will have for its entire lineup from entry level to flagship is to change the silver camera bezels to black; I prefer silver tbh.

                  Up to 6 OS updates with Mediatek Helio G99?🤣

                    classic mody, 6 hours agoand in 2030 4gb of ram is obeslete. 6gb should be the minmumIt's obsolete now let alone in 2030...
                    Also why Mediatek G99 Samsung...why? if the reason is cost, put the exynos 1280 (from galaxy a33) which has better performance. For cryin out loud...

                            This phone isn't for gamers or heavy users. Not everybody needs a flagship phone.

                                    For poor people, that can afford a new phone every year, like most of you, it is very good to have some many years of update.

                                    It calls "inclusion".

                                    Try to put yourself in the other one shoes.
                                    If I couldnt afford other phone, I would love to still have suport for it, regardless if the CPU or RAM are enought or not.

                                      Interestingly enough, how ought g99 fair in 6 years?
                                      🫣

                                      Probably still better than the sd 685 in realme 12 4g.
