Spain gets its first taste of the new Samsung Galaxy A16

Unassuming as it may be, the Galaxy A16 is one of Samsung's most delightful surprises of the year. It's the first low-cost phone in the company's lineup to enjoy better support than flagship phones from most other brands, promising six major OS upgrades for six years.

Whether bringing six Android OS upgrades on this kind of low-end hardware is feasible remains to be seen, but we can't deny that the Galaxy A16 sounds like a good value proposition.

Since Samsung officially announced it in early October, the Galaxy A16 has steadily reached more markets and continued to catch the attention of prospective budget phone buyers. Today, the Galaxy A16 does the same for Samsung customers in Spain.

Galaxy A16 reaches a new market in Europe

The Galaxy A16 is available in Spain starting today. Samsung confirms the device should be available in this region in both LTE and 5G flavors, but as of this writing, we see only the LTE model in the Spanish online shop next to a starting price of €199.

For €199, buyers in Spain get the 128GB model with 4GB of RAM. Customers can also pick the 256GB variant for €279.

The store page is a bit confusing, as the 256GB model also lists 8GB of RAM. However, as far as we can tell, the 8GB RAM option is available only for the Galaxy A16 5G, and as we said before, there is no mention of 5G connectivity for the model available right now.

Other specs you might be interested in are a 6.7-inch 90Hzs display, an IP54 splash-resistant build, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging, and a 50MP primary camera.
