Leak Reveals Samsung Galaxy A16 Pricing and Key Specs for Both 4G and 5G Models
In a flurry of leaks, we’ve now received details on not only the color options for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A16, but also one of the most crucial aspects for prospective buyers: the pricing. A European retailer’s internal database has revealed that the Galaxy A16 4G will retail for €209.90, while the Galaxy A16 5G will be priced at €239.90. These prices are for models with 128GB of storage, but details regarding the amount of RAM were notably absent from the leak.

Expected RAM Configurations
If these are indeed the base models, it’s likely that they come with 4GB of RAM, an amount that has been previously rumored for the Galaxy A16 series. However, 4GB of RAM is considered insufficient for a 2024 Android device, and buyers are encouraged to opt for a 6GB RAM variant if possible. This will likely come at a higher price, though exact figures for the higher RAM versions have yet to surface. There are also rumors of an 8GB RAM version, which would be paired with 256GB of storage, but its pricing remains unknown at this stage.
Pricing Variations Across Regions
It’s important to note that these prices are for the European market, and even within Europe, variations in VAT (Value Added Tax) rates could cause slight changes in pricing from country to country. As such, direct currency conversions may not give an accurate reflection of the prices in non-EU regions.
Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Specs
Beyond pricing, the leak has also confirmed some key specifications for the Galaxy A16 5G. Depending on the region, the 5G version will either be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC (in markets like India and Thailand) or the Samsung Exynos 1330 (in other regions). The device will boast a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 LCD screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate and 800-nit peak brightness, ensuring smooth visuals and bright displays even under sunlight.
It will come equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery, giving users ample battery life for daily usage, and will carry an IP54 rating, making it resistant to dust and light splashes. One of its standout features will be Samsung’s commitment to software support, with six major Android updates and six years of security patches, making it an attractive option for buyers seeking long-term value.
Galaxy A16 4G: What We Know So Far
While specifics about the Galaxy A16 4G remain sparse, it’s speculated that aside from the chipset, it will be largely identical to the 5G version—following the trend established by the Galaxy A15 and A15 5G. Further leaks are expected to shed more light on the 4G variant’s exact hardware specifications.
Conclusion
With competitive pricing, decent specs, and an impressive software update policy, the Samsung Galaxy A16 series is shaping up to be a solid mid-range option for 2024. However, buyers are encouraged to look for models with more than 4GB of RAM to ensure a smoother experience in the years to come. As always with leaks, though, it’s worth waiting for the official announcement before making any purchasing decisions.
Stay tuned for more updates as Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy A16 lineup soon.
