Samsung has unveiled its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Galaxy F16 5G. While it may seem fresh from the outside, this device is essentially a rebranded version of the Galaxy M16, which is itself based on the Galaxy A16. The only significant difference lies in the aesthetic choices, offering new vibrant color alternatives - Vibing Blue, Bling Black, and Glam Green - all accentuated with Samsung’s Ripple Glow effect.

The device will be available in configurations of 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM and offers 128GB of expandable storage via a microSD card.
The Galaxy F16 runs on One UI 7, based on Android 15, and Samsung has committed to providing 6 years of Android updates along with 6 years of security updates, ensuring a long-lasting software experience for users.
