[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *Samsung A16 5G Review: A Budget Powerhouse with AI-Driven Features*
In the ever-evolving world of smartphones, Samsung has consistently been a frontrunner, offering devices that cater to a wide range of users and budgets. The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is the latest addition to the A series, promising to deliver a premium experience without the hefty price tag. With the integration of Samsung's AI capabilities and a host of other features, the A16 5G aims to redefine what users can expect from a mid-range device.
*Design and Build Quality*
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G boasts a sleek and modern design that is both visually appealing and ergonomic. The phone features a 6.5-inch display with a punch-hole design, housing a 13MP front camera. The screen is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass, ensuring durability against accidental drops and scratches. The device's frame is made of plastic, which, while not as premium as metal, contributes to keeping the phone lightweight and affordable.
The build quality is solid, with a seamless fit between the screen and the frame. The phone's rear panel is glossy, showcasing a quad-camera setup that includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera module is encased in a raised bezel, protected by the same Gorilla Glass as the screen. The power button and volume rockers are well-placed and offer a satisfying tactile feedback.

It gets hot quick and screen blinks often
on August 21, 2025
Posted by: MrGHandyman
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm partially happy with my Galaxy A16 5G but it has issues like getting hot and working slower, even with closing all apps or additional windows.
Plus screen blinks when trying to change windows, almost like it's taking a picture which is very unsettling.
