The extra update commitment is great, but ooooof 4GB RAM just basically renders it almost irrelevant right out of the gate.

    Samsung uses eco packaging and soy ink since the Galaxy S2, why even mention it at this point. It's not a plus for the majority of people anyway.

      Samsung finally did it.
      An A1X device with no 3.5mm jack

        PureOS, 24 Oct 2024Not even the 8gb version. No 4k, no stereo speakers, slow c... moreThey have no chance in the midrange besides their brand name. But that still has a lot of pull for many people.
        Their products literally get halved just a few months after launch but they still get people to buy them at launch.

          I don't usually comment on these devices since they're not targeted to me, but this is quite awful. Bad value proposition... Also bulky and heavy, just like last couple gens. These phones used to be slimmer and lightweight. Hope the A36 is much better.

            Yeah, 4gb RAM is straight up a crime. It should have at least 6gb.
            And why it's so wide? 78 damn millimeters.
            Oh, they also managed to ruin battery life lol. Great job, Samsung!

              Zero, 24 Oct 2024Only the 8GB RAM version of the A16 is worthy, skip the 4GB oneNot even the 8gb version. No 4k, no stereo speakers, slow charging speed, mediocre battery life, mediocre soc, mediocre ingress protection... Waste of money. C'mon, Poco x6 pro can be found for this amount of money, and can put this one in a pocket like a candy.
