Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy M16 technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy M16 suits buyers looking for an everyday 5G phone with a large Super AMOLED display. Its main trade-offs are a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time and this version's 128 GB of storage, also below what most offered then.

The 6.7″ display pairs a 1080 × 2340 px resolution with a 90 Hz refresh rate. Super AMOLED defines the panel technology, while the refresh rate is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. At 7.9 mm thick and 191 g, the phone is thinner and lighter than most of its contemporaries.

The main camera has 50 MP, a typical resolution for its time, and a 1/2.76″ sensor, smaller than those in most phones launched around the same time. It has no optical image stabilization or optical zoom; the camera array also includes a 5 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera. The 5000 mAh battery supports 25 W charging: its capacity is lower than most, while its charging power is typical. Storage is expandable, and the phone supports two SIM cards.

It runs Android 15 and has six years of operating-system update support. Its overall NeoScore is 5.6. The Galaxy M16 is suited to buyers who prioritize 5G, a Super AMOLED display and a slim phone, and can accept the battery and storage limitations of this version.
