Well the camera is of course not the best, because what do you expect from a phone at this price range. But to say it's camera is bad isn't right. It takes decent pictures, it handles low light pretty well for what it is, the stabilization ...

well yes i do not own the phone, but i compared A16 5g and A15 5g in a store. demo units on display exist for a reason. just accept A16 5g has noisy cameras, and terrible stabilization lmao the ISP and EIS capability in dimensity 6300 sucks compare...

samsungs with mediatek are badly optimized. especially this phone. even the a04 lags so hard, a34 has slow open and closing app animation.
