Samsung launched Galaxy A16 and A16 5G in France, Europe. The 5G model is available for purchase in the country, while the 4G-only variant will be available in November.
The new phones serve as the gateway to the Galaxy range. Samsung Galaxy A16 5G and LTE are set to quickly become a benchmark in terms of longevity in Europe and across the world.
The large 6.7-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display with 90Hz refresh rate offers great user comfort. It displays vibrant colors and deep blacks to enhance movies and series.
The Galaxy A16 and A16 5G come with a triple rear camera, containing a 50MP primary, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro sensor apart from the 13MP front camera for selfies.
Samsung’s A16 and A16 5G are only 7.9 mm thick, compared to 8.4 mm on previous models. They are also the very first Galaxy phones in this category to be certified IP54.
Both phones pack a 5000mAh battery that can be charged with 25W adapter. The devices will be available in 4GB + 128GB storage configurations, expandable up to 1TB through microSD card.
The Galaxy A16 5G/LTE handsets offer a refined design and increased battery life, as well as 6 generations of Android updates and 6 years of security updates.
In addition to benefiting from 6 years of security updates and 6 generations of OS updates (a record for the Galaxy A Series), the Galaxy A16 and A16 5G are protected by Samsung Knox Vault.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could bring the Z Fold6-inspired redesigned camera ring. The design won’t look the same, but will surely appear different than the S24 Ultra. Based on a recent rumor, a concept creator created a new render.
TechnizoConcept created a new Galaxy S25 Ultra render displaying a redesigned camera ring design. The smartphone is designed based on the CAD renders leaked by Onleaks and information disclosed by IceUniverse.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra can be seen in the render with a fresh new ring appearance. The premiumness isn’t exactly visible in third-party renders. The real product will look even more beautiful, thanks to the titanium frame.
The phone could have Z Fold6-like camera rings with a textured design inside. However, the ring will be surrounded by a thin circular ring, making the sensors look more appealing. Notably, the sensor arrangement is just the same as the S24 Ultra.
Samsung is set to ditch the angular corner design approach from its Ultra flagship next year. The phone will have slightly rounded corners to improve in-hand feel. The width is also slightly reduced to further refine the handling.
S Pen support will continue. Samsung will keep the stylus functionality alive with the S25 Ultra. In the recent times, we’ve seen the company making smart use of this iconic functionality integrated with many Galaxy AI features.
Samsung President TM Roh attending the Snapdragon Summit to discuss the Galaxy S25 chip and XR. Qualcomm is set to launch its next flagship mobile chipset this month. Samsung is preparing to source all Galaxy S25 series chips from Qualcomm.
According to Hankyung (via Jukanlosreve/X), Samsung Prez TM Roh will attend the Snapdragon Summit, with discussions that could happen on the Galaxy S25 series chip and XR device development with Qualcomm and Google.
TM Roh’s discussions will also focus on enhancing Samsung’s collaboration with Qualcomm. The official is set to board a flight to Hawaii next week to attend Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit where Snapdragon 8 Elite (8 Gen 4) will be released.
Samsung is important for Qualcomm in the same way as Google. Most of the Android vendors will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. However, Samsung alone sells the largest portion of flagship phones that would be equipped with the next Snapdragon.
Snapdragon 8 Elite is the first Qualcomm SoC made using TSMC’s 3nm process technology. Therefore, TM Roh’s meeting with Qualcomm’s management including CEO Cristiano Amon will focus on chip supply and price negotiations.
Previously, Samsung planned to use Exynos 2500 alongside Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, the company’s foundry division is in crisis over lower-than-expected yield. Hence, the next-gen Galaxy S models could exclusively use Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Concerns linger about potential significant price increases if Samsung were to rely solely on Qualcomm for all chip supplies. Therefore, TM Roh’s Hawaii visit becomes a crucial yet welcome move as part of freezing the price.
