All eyes may be on the Galaxy S25 release expected later this month, but you actually won’t have to wait that long to get Samsung’s cheapest phone — the Galaxy A16. This $199 handset won’t be a huge burden on your budget, but I know that it sets a precedent for any other budget phone released in 2025 because it comes with six years of major Android and security updates.
Interestingly enough, we’ve heard whispers about the Galaxy A16 5G for quite some time now because of a listing that was leaked back in October. But now the phone’s finally official and we have all the juicy details about this best cheap phone contender.
