I'm a big fan of Samsung 👍. But the fact that they removed the headphone jack even on the mid-range phones is crazy. But I know how it feels like cus I just got the Galaxy S24+ 😢.
So far all that's available is the international version and it's $299. At that price in my opinion it's not a good value. Especially with Black Friday being a few weeks away. If the US releases it and we get good carrier deals or it's cheaper on Samsung's website for $199 then it would be a good budget phone.
It's unclear if the A16 5g will remain $199 or if Samsung will go up to $299. For $199 it'd be a great deal but at $299 theres too much competition with better options.
I Love The Galaxy A14 5G & Galaxy A15 5G I Definitely Gotta Get The Galaxy A16 5G When It Comes Out To Boost Or Metro I Think Samsung Nailed It With The 6.7 Inch Super AMOLED Display At 90 Hertz I Actually Like The U Shaped Notch I Always See The Hole Punch On The Other Samsung Galaxy Phones Like The Galaxy A35 5G & Galaxy A54 5G & The Galaxy S Series But The Galaxy A16 5G Is Fire For Its Price
There's Galaxy A06 with headphone jack. Almost wait for Galaxy A06s (LTE/5G) and Galaxy A26 5G in the upcoming releases but with or without headphone jack has a common issues!
A sequel to any thing is rarely interesting to buy over the previous thing, especially if the latter only one year old. It's mainly a good thing if you're in need of a new phone and you don't want to brake the bank because you do not fancy anything expensive . I got the A16 4G in Europe (a specific choice I made because 5G isn't a must yet) and it's a great phone for the asking price. Maybe not the best for the money compared to similar offerings from other brands but certainly not a bad offer either . If you're into Samsung or you swear by this brand then it's certainly a go. If you're not hooked on one brand only then there is better (maybe not on the software support side but it's always a question if a budget chip-set will perform well enough in 6 years...not convinced it will but that's another discussion)
Is the purpose of getting rid of the headphone jack to get consumers to buy Bluetooth headphones? I ended up getting wired Apple earpods. Nice try Samsung.
Actually, the A15 5g in the US got the Dimensity chipset last year. If the pattern follows, India & Thailand being overseas would get the Exynos 1330. The US would get the Dimensity 6300. Unless Samsung decides to switch it up which I highly doubt.
@@DWtechfan The news page for this phone on GSMArena said that India and Thailand get the Dimensity 6300. The reason for the US Galaxy A15 5G getting the Dimensity 6100+ is because that's the only version of the phone that existed. Oddly enough the Indian A14 5G got the Exynos 1330 so that was an interesting switch-up.
A lot of people hate the water drop notch but I prefer this over a hole-punch camera that I always accidently touch when exiting out of a page or pulling down the notification shade. The problem with a hole-punch is it gets smeared and dirty with your fingerprints due to it being in the display and the selfie pictures always look worse. It's really annoying when the selfie camera gets dirty and I always have to wipe the lens all the time. I like thin bezels and small water drop notch. If most smartphone brands went with a water drop notch with thin bezels on top and a really small water drop notch I wouldn't be mad. Screw the modern look.
m35 is a better option than this. 120hz, more features overall like in gallery extra ai features, UHD 30fps, FHD+ 60fps, (whereas only FHD+ 30 fps maximum), 6000mah battery, smoother camera zoom transition (a16 doesnt even have a transition). Even I'm using the galaxy m34 5g and its alot better than this phone. Ive used a16 for some days and got really disappointed... I know m34's performance but still m35 fixes them.
I wonder why some people are still upset about mobile phones without headphone jack. I am a senior citizen, and I have started using a Bluetooth earpiece. It is incredibly comfortable.😃
Thinking about eithet getting the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G when it comes to the US or getting the Motorola G Power 5G 2024 or Motorola G 5G 2024 or Motorola G Stylus 5G 2024 or Motorola G Play 2024. Which should i get?
@@NPNG-2024it would be OKAY if there are alot of headphones that has usb c connector, but most still use a headphone jack and if you say use a DAC or a Dongle, well the audio quality is not the same specially in its microphone which is bullshit and getting a good one is expensive and takes alot of research
Re: the 6 years of OS updates "The OS upgrade and security update policies specified above are subject to change. The information communicated is not a commitment or an obligation of Samsung.

Disappointed they took out he headphone Jack. And made it bigger. When I got my A15 5g I came from iPhone mini. I really like this size of the A15. I like the ear phone Jack because I can’t stand anything in my ears and I can use my headset. Well I still have 4 more years of updates!!
Why do they make these phones so comically big? This should be the size of the regular S24. It completely turns me off the phone when it’s so huge. It’s a shame because we hardly have any smaller phones at affordable prices. Also 1080p at 30fps is just ridiculous no matter how cheap the phone is. It’s should at least be 1080 60
6 years good. But come on guys with these mediatek internals the A series phone cannot hardly run after 2 android updates. Smart move on Samsung part. The A15 5g has so much lagging now and apps slow opening. One more android update and it is going to be so slow
Too much removal is a dissapointment...headphone jack charging brick ..no freebies like tempered glass ..case....still using drop notch on selfie cam. Slow charging only 18watts but the price is still high with just the phone and the usb cable👎

If Samsung would do away with that teardrop camera this device would be the BEST $150 option to purchase (everything else is good spec wise)

Thanx 4 the review..i just ordered this model and coming in 3 days.

also the Galaxy A16 features a light up back light when you turn on flashlight,i think you missed out on that one feature

Does this phone have eSIM capabilities
Only 4GB of RAM in my country ( UK)
They didn't change much with this phone, I thought it was going to have 120htz, screen recording and a start of 6gb of ram. It's quite disappointing
Yooo😮😮😮
