Samsung Galaxy A16 5G and Galaxy Fit 3 now available in the US

Samsung’s affordable Galaxy A16 5G smartphone is now available in the United States alongside the company’s latest fitness tracker, the Galaxy Fit 3. The Galaxy A16 5G made its debut back in October as one of the first Samsung phones to receive six years of updates.

Unfortunately, Samsung didn’t back the promised six years of updates with a decent specs list and an appealing design, on the contrary. The Galaxy A16 5G feels pretty dated specs-wise and the same goes for its looks.

Along with the Galaxy A16 5G, Samsung also launched its latest fitness tracker, the Galaxy Fit 3, in the US. Customers who buy the Galaxy A16 5G will receive 50 percent off Galaxy Fit 3 for a limited time.

One of the phone’s strongest points is the 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, 800 nits peak brightness, and 90 Hz refresh rate. The US version of the Galaxy A16 5G is equipped with Samsung’s Exynos 1330 chipset, while the global variant packs MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 processor.

The Galaxy A16 5G features a triple camera setup: 50 MP main + 5 MP ultra-wide + 2 MP macro. There’s also a secondary 13-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies.

The device is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W wired charging support. As mentioned earlier, the Galaxy A16 5G will receive 6 generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades, as well as 6 years of security updates. Sadly, the phone ships with Android 14 instead of Android 15.

The other device launched by Samsung in the US today, the Galaxy Fit 3 features a 1.6-inch display and a battery that promises up to 13 days of usage. Designed with an aluminum body, the Galaxy Fit 3 is 45 percent wider than the previous model, Samsung claims.
