Samsung unveils Galaxy A16 (4G), also with 6 years of support

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

      They need to focus on the OS efficiency and stop the need for more and more system resources. When old IOS phones run so smoothly with 4GB.

There are laptop with core 2 duo or some pentium from 15 years ago, they run just fine with ssd, there are modern laptop 10th gen I saw just last week it run like a snail because of HDD.

Trust me, I... moreMost important thing for hardware longevity is faster storage, then cpu then ram, you can live with lower ram by limiting multitasking, but if you have weak cpu or slower storage expect lag. Most lags in phones are because of slower storage.

                            100 Euro phone you have to sacrifice somewhere, if someone give you 8GB ram then I won't be suprised if they pair it with emmc and slower cpu, no one going to give you everything at that price point.

                                Why is the Galaxy A16 released in the same year as the Galaxy A15? that makes no sense IMO.

I had the chance to try a Redmi Note 12 5G with 4G Ram and that phone struggled even in basic tasks like Maps or web browsing. I mean, the phone was usable, no doubt about it, but with lag.
                                  Also, nowadays, you can find Android phones with 8Gb Ram really cheap (from Chinese manufacturers). I think is time for Samsung to ditch the 4Gb Ram variants. Or make them really cheap (something like 100EUR max, just for seniors or people who need a phone just for messages and calls).

                                  Also, regarding the 4Gb Ram iPhones (like the iPhone 12 or 13), I doubt they will pass above IOS 20. Already these AI features requires much more powerful hardware. In 2-3 years time, probably even more.
                                  This is one of the reasons, when people ask me what iPhone they should get right now, I always tell them, minimum iPhone 14.
