Samsung is working on an entry-level smartphone that will likely launch later this year or early next year. It is the Galaxy A16, and its battery-related information has appeared online.

Galaxy A16 has two battery variants

The Galaxy A16's batteries have appeared for the first time. Batteries with model numbers EB-BA166ASE and EB-BA166ASY have been spotted in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification database (via 91Mobiles). These two variants are likely from two battery suppliers for a reliable supply chain.

These batteries are for the 5G variant of the phone. It isn't clear whether the company will launch a 4G version of the device, as 5G chips are now more affordable.

While the battery size hasn't been revealed, looking at Samsung's track record, the Galaxy A16 might have a 5,000mAh battery. The Galaxy A13 5G, Galaxy A14 5G, and Galaxy A15 5G are also powered by a 5,000mAh battery.

The story continues after the video below.

Alongside the Galaxy A16, the batteries of the Galaxy S25 have also appeared in the BIS certification database. Those batteries have model numbers EB-BS938ABE and EB-BS938ABY, probably coming from two suppliers. More information about the phone, including the battery capacity, might be revealed later this year.
