Samsung Galaxy A16 5G promo materials reveal shocking update promise

Samsung's Galaxy A16 5G is allegedly going to become official in December, but that hasn't stopped it from leaking a lot lately - most recently we've seen an official-looking image showing it from all angles.

Today some promotional materials for the A16 have been outed, and as you can see below, these reveal the device's most important specs.

The Galaxy A16 will have a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 LCD screen with 90 Hz refresh rate and 800-nit peak brightness, either the Exynos 1330 SoC or the Dimensity 6300 chipset at the helm (depending on region most likely), 4/6/8GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, an IP54 dust and splash resistance rating, and an intriguing software update promise.

According to these materials, Samsung will promise six major Android updates and six years of security patches for the Galaxy A16, which, if true, would be unprecedented for its price range and could act as one of its key selling points against the (probably lower-priced) competition.

The A16 measures 164.4 x 77.9 x 7.9 mm and weighs 192g or 200g depending on version. It will be offered in Light Green, Blue Black, and Gold. A previous certification revealed it would sport a 5,000 mAh battery.
