Processor of Samsung Galaxy M16 5G
Galaxy M16 5G has the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. It’s coupled with an octa-core CPU running at 2.4 GHz, which should suffice for daily use and light gaming. Supported by a well over 422K AnTuTu score, it ensures quick performance for a phone in this range. You also have 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, which should be good enough for most. There is hybrid support too for memory cards of up to 1.5 TB.
Display and Battery
Samsung has equipped this phone with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, providing decent legibility with a 1080 x 2340 pixel resolution and 385 PPI. It also provides support for a 90Hz refresh rate and 800 nits peak brightness, meaning that scrolling and media use should be silky-smooth and punchy. The punch-hole styling gives it a touch of the latest fashions. When it comes to battery life, the 5000mAh model should comfortably last you a day, and 25W fast charging ensures downtime isn’t lengthy, even if you don’t get a charger in the box.
Samsung Galaxy M16 5G Camera
The rear side of the phone houses a triple camera setup: a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP depth sensor. It can record full HD videos at 30 fps. On the front, there’s a 13MP selfie camera, enough for casual snaps and video calls. The camera setup is quite average but fine for the price it’s being offered at.
Price of the Device
Samsung Galaxy M16 5G is available for purchase at ₹11,999, down from its original price of ₹17,499. That’s a straight 31% discount, which makes this 5G smartphone fall under the ₹12K barrier. It’s a temporary offer and one of the best available in the budget segment right now.
Bank Offers
You can also earn extra savings with certain credit or debit cards. With Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card, you receive up to ₹359 cashback. In case you’re taking the EMI option, there are no-cost EMI plans for you, and certain cards even help you save up to ₹669 on interest.
