Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Was eyeing A16 as it suits my mom's requirement.
  • A16 has 6 years of updates, so that's a great thing going for it.
  • samsung a16 , never look back
  • Check the prices of the A16 Samsung though to see if it's on sale. It would be a definite step up and usually is not priced very high. You would probably be able to keep and use that longer before you want to throw it out a window compar...
  • The new A16 is literally $174.99 on Amazon. And it would be brand new. Not exactly flagship category but no doubt you would see definite improvements over the 12.

Cons

  • Their A16 is out now, so two year old A14 is a good enough until.
  • I'm using the Samsung A16 to type out this comment. Pros: -Brand new phone at this price range = good battery life, especially compared to used phones. Not as good as a new Plus-sized phone, but decent. Fast charging is also great. -N...
  • I was thinking of the Samsung A16 but apparently that's really bad?
  • You have just written up a product brief for Samsung A16.

I'm using the Samsung A16 to type out this comment. Pros: -Brand new phone at this price range = good battery life, especially compared to used phones. Not as good as a new Plus-sized phone, but decent. Fast charging is also great. -Nice big 6.9" screen. Cons: -Cameras are pretty bad. Alright for everyday use, but not if you're someone who takes lot of pics, likes to mess around w/ filters, zooms, etc. -Performance is smooth most of the time, but there is the occasional lag or jitter. I have the 4GB RAM version, so the 6GB RAM may be better, bc it definitely feels like a memory issue more than a chip issue. -Wired charging only.

Check the prices of the A16 Samsung though to see if it's on sale. It would be a definite step up and usually is not priced very high. You would probably be able to keep and use that longer before you want to throw it out a window compared to the '05.
