Samsung have announced their latest Galaxy device to land in Australia, with the new Samsung Galaxy A16 arriving in Australia as an affordable option bringing improvements to the Galaxy A series.

Priced from  $349, the Galaxy A16 adopts Samsung’s signature design language with linear camera lens layout and refined, rounded corners and a thinner design. The phone will be offered in only one colour, a stylish Blue Black and includes an IP54 dust and water resistance rating.

The Galaxy A16 includes an immersive experience thanks to the new, larger 6.7” Super AMOLED FHD+ resolution display which includes a 90Hz refresh rate and streamlined bezels to allow more display with less interruption. The AMOLED display offers true-to-life colours and sharp visuals for using the phone, watching videos, or just scrolling around the web. 

Powered by by an octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM, the phone includes smooth and flawless performance for high-quality videos, games, and multitasking says Samsung. There’s 128GB of on-board storage, but it also supports microSD cards so you can take all your memories with you. 

There’s all day battery life with a massive 5,000mAh battery, which supports fast charging up to 25W, giving you a chance to top up fast if you need to. 

Samsung’s photography nouse has been leveraged to include a class leading camera array for photography lovers, with a 50MP main sensor combined with a 5MP Ultra-Wide sensor and 2MP macro sensor. You also get a 13MP selfie camera on the front, nestled into a tear-drop notch in the display. 

The Galaxy A16 will run Android 14, with Samsung’s One UI offering improvements including Samsung Knox for security offering a place to protect private, personal data such as user passwords and secrets from hardware-based attacks including voltage glitches, temperature tampering, and laser interference. 

Samsung will keep the Galaxy A16 up to date too with 6 generations of One UI and Android OS updates, as well as 6 years of Samsung Security Maintenance Releases (SMR), keeping the device secure and up to date. 

You can find the Galaxy A16 5G on-sale now through Samsung, and selected retailers.
