Samsung Galaxy A16
RM 6,599.00
Price last checked: 18 Dec 2024. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy A16 price in Malaysia starts from RM6599, positioning it as a budget option with a few upper-mid-range touches. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel runs at 90Hz, which is still uncommon at this price point, and it's paired with the Helio G99 chipset plus 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, enough for everyday apps and light multitasking.
The rear setup leads with a 50MP main camera that has autofocus, backed by a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. A 13MP front camera handles selfies. Neither camera records above 1080p, so this isn't a video-first phone.
Battery life should hold up well thanks to the 5000mAh cell, though charging tops out at 25W. Samsung backs the A16 with up to six years of Android upgrades, and the IP54 rating adds some peace of mind against splashes and dust that budget phones often skip.
