Samsung Galaxy M16 has been officially announced on Feb. 27, 2025.

Product Main Features:

The smartphone features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, 1080 x 2340 resolution (~385 ppi), and 800 nits peak brightness (HBM). With an IP54 rating, it is dust-protected and resistant to water splashes. It runs on Android 15 with One UI 7, offering up to 6 major Android upgrades.

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 (6nm) chipset, the octa-core CPU (2×2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) is paired with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. Storage options include 128GB (4GB/6GB/8GB RAM) and 256GB (8GB RAM), with microSDXC support (using a shared SIM slot).

The triple-camera setup consists of a 50MP (f/1.8, AF) main sensor, 5MP (f/2.2, ultrawide), and 2MP (f/2.4, macro) lens, supporting 1080p@30fps video recording with gyro-EIS. The 13MP (f/2.0) selfie camera records 1080p@30fps. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, GPS (GALILEO, GLONASS, BDS, QZSS), and USB Type-C 2.0. Samsung Galaxy M16 has stereo speakers but no 3.5mm jack.

A 5000mAh battery supports 25W wired charging. Additional features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, compass, and virtual proximity sensing. Available in Thunder Black, Mint Green, and Blush Pink.

Design

Type Design Type called form factor refers to a mobile phone's size, shape, and style as well as the layout and position of major components of phone. There are three major form factors seen in mobile phones => bar phones, folding phones and sliding phones.

Bar
Dimensions

164.4 x 77.9 x 7.9 mm
Waterproof

IP54 dust protected and water resistant (water splashes)

Display

Display Type Display Technology => A number of display technologies and types used in mobile phones => TFT (Thin Film Transistor), IPS (In-Place Switching), OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), Super AMOLED (an even advanced version of AMOLED), Resistive Touchscreen (Resistive touchscreens contain two layer of conductive material with a very small gap between them which acts as a resistance), Capacitive Touchsceen (Capacitive touchscreen technology consists of a layer of glass coated with a transparent conductor)

Resolution

1080 x 2340 pixels
Pixel Density Pixel Density (PPI) is refers to the concentration of pixels on a particular display, measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Pixel density is calculated by dividing the diagonal pixel resolution of a display by its diagonal size, higher pixel density better display quality.

~385 ppi density

Hardware

CPU The main chipset of the device.

Octa-core (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 + 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion.

Mali-G57 MC2
RAM (Memory) RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.

4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB
Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored.

128 GB, 256 GB
Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras.

microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot)
Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device.

Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, compass
Virtual proximity sensing

Software

Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices). The Operating System allows the user to install and run third party applications (apps), apps are used to add new functionality to the device.

Android 15
User Interface UI or user interface of a device is the look and feel of the on-screen menu system. How it works, its color scheme, how it responds to button presses, all of these things are part of the user interface.

One UI 7

Camera

Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality.

50 MP (wide) + 5 MP (ultrawide) + 2 MP (macro)
Image

1080p
Video

1080p@30fps
Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration)

Yes
Front Camera

13 MP (wide)

Network

SIM SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages.

Connectivity

Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world.

Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct
USB

Type-C 2.0
GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky.

Yes
NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches.

Yes
Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device.

No
Headphone Jack
