Samsung Launches the New Galaxy A16 LTE and A16 5G in South Africa
Looking for a new phone that fills your moments with awesome experiences and maximises everything you value? Check out the new Samsung Galaxy A16 LTE and Galaxy A16 5G, which bring cutting-edge technology and exceptional value to mobile users across the country. These latest devices combine sleek design, advanced features, and reliable performance, making them the perfect choice for those who want more out of their smartphones in both their personal and professional lives.
The Galaxy A16 Series is packed with features that elevate everyday mobile experiences. With the holiday season upon us, you can capture every special moment shared with loved ones with the devices’ high-quality 50MP camera, offering crystal-clear photos and videos. Whether you’re snapping a family picture at a weekend gathering or capturing stunning landscapes on a road trip, the A16’s camera ensures that every shot is detailed and vibrant.
Enjoy breathtaking visuals on the 90Hz, large FHD+ 6.7” Super AMOLED display[1], designed to offer smooth scrolling, vibrant colours, and deep contrasts. Whether you’re watching your favourite series on Netflix, browsing social media, or gaming on the go, the A16 provides a visually immersive experience that’s easy on the eyes.
With 128GB of internal storage on both the LTE and 5G variants, you’ll have plenty of space to store your photos, videos, apps, and music. This means you can now download and enjoy all your favourite content without constantly worrying about storage space.
Just how awesome these smartphones are shows even if everyday accidents like spilling water or getting caught in the rain happen. Such incidents are no longer a concern because with an IP54 water and dust resistance rating[2], the Galaxy A16 is built to withstand the rigours of daily life, making it the ideal companion for the active South African lifestyle.
With our phones having become our assistants to a great extent, we store private and sensitive information on them, meaning they have to be trustworthy and make our privacy a top priority – and the Galaxy A16 Series does just that. Samsung Knox Guard provides defence-grade security to protect your data and personal information. Furthermore, the devices also come with a range of essential Google apps, including Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and more, allowing you to stay connected and productive throughout the day.
Concerned about battery life? Worry not because these phones come equipped with a powerful 5000 mAh[3] battery also capable of fast-charging and reaching full power quickly with a 25W charger.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 LTE is available in black and light green at all retailers nationwide, while Vodacom and MTN exclusively offer the 5G variant in black (MTN will have the A16 5G available in store and online starting January 2025). Both devices are available now in stores and online, including on the Samsung e-Store App, which is available for download on both iOS and Android platforms, allowing you to easily browse, shop, and manage your devices.
Exclusive Offer: Samsung is also offering an exclusive 10% discount on the first purchase of mobile devices, tablets, and wearables through the Samsung e-Store App, so you can enjoy great savings on your next device purchase[4].

Whether you’re looking to enhance your photography, stream content, or stay connected with the latest apps, the Galaxy A16 is the perfect fit for today’s fast-paced lifestyle,” said Kgomotso Mosiane, Head of Marketing for Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics South Africa.
