Samsung Galaxy M16 5G Overview

Design and Display

The Samsung Galaxy M16 5G retains a slim 7.9mm profile, making it comfortable to hold. Samsung’s signature protruding camera layout bids farewell and we have a similar-looking camera module as on the newer A56 5G.

On the front, the Galaxy M16 5G boasts a vibrant 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, stretching to an FHD+ resolution. This large panel supports a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, delivering fluid interactions, whether scrolling or gaming. With 800 nits of HBM, this phone ensures decent outdoor visibility, even on sunny days. Additionally, its 16 million color depth enhances media experiences with rich and vivid visuals.

Performance and the rest

The Galaxy M16 5G runs on MediaTek Dimensity 6300. This processor is a successor to the Dimensity 6100+ featured on the A16 5G. While the core architecture remains unchanged, it peaks at a higher frequency than its predecessor. The device has up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, and it is expandable by up to 1.5TB via a MicroSD card, so there’s ample room for photos, videos, and apps.

Samsung’s One UI, based on Android 15, powers the software, promising an intuitive experience. Furthermore, Samsung ensures extended support on the Galaxy M16 5G, with up to six years of software and security updates. This model includes Samsung Knox, providing added security against potential threats. In terms of battery life, this phone packs a robust 5,000 mAh battery with 25W wired fast charging support.
