The Galaxy F16 is Samsung’s latest entry-level device, and while new in name, it’s nothing more than a rebadged Galaxy M16 – a device that was based on the Galaxy A16. The only meaningful change on the M16 are its color options – Vibing Blue, Bling Black, and Glam Green with all three featuring Samsung’s Ripple Glow effect.

Apart from that, the F16 features the exact same specs as the M16, including a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED (FHD+ 90Hz), Dimensity 6300 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W wired charging. The phone is available with 4, 6, or 8GB RAM and 128GB storage which is expandable via microSD card.
It boots One UI 7 based on Android 15, with Samsung pledging 6 Android updates and 6 years of security updates.
