If you were eyeing a budget Samsung phone, the company has launched the next generation of a budget phone in the Galaxy A series. Yes, I am talking about the Galaxy A16 5G which has many upgrades to fascinate you. It is slimmer, safer, and even performs better than its predecessor, the Galaxy A15 5G. So, let’s see the Samsung Galaxy A16 price in Pakistan, specs, and features here.
Pros And Cons of Samsung Galaxy A16
Before we start digging into the details, let’s find out the pros and cons of the Galaxy A16.
Pros
Water and dust resistance
Slimmer compared to the previous generation
More powerful chipset & GPU
Larger display
Cons
Same Old design with notch display
No 3.5mm jack
Less impressive selfie camera
Still no 60fps @1080p
Samsung Galaxy A16 Overview
Starting with the design, it is the same iconic design with a little modification in the rear cover design. The camera module is nearly the same, and you will also notice that old-fashioned notch display at the front side. Even the sides are the same, with the right side having a little bump around the power and volume buttons.
However, not everything is the same, as you will notice the device is slimmer. But there is a reason behind it: the company has not embedded a 3.5mm jack in the body. Moreover, this phone also comes with an iP54 dust and water resistance, making it safer. Also, the size of the phone is slightly larger than the previous phone due to a bigger screen used this time.
Coming to its performance, it is the area where you will notice a decent difference. Samsung A16 comes with a Dimensity 6300 or Exynos 1330 chipset, depending upon the variant. Overall, it provides 10% better performance compared to its predecessor.
The camera department is nearly the same as the Galaxy A16, which comes with the same 50MP rear camera along with 5MP ultrawide and 2MP macro cameras. The front side has the same 13MP selfie camera again, so no upgrades in this department.
