Samsung appears to be gearing up for the launch of the Galaxy A16, the company’s upcoming entry-level offering. If you keep up with the leaks, you may have already seen the device and probably know some of its key specs. Now, the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G and A16 5G have been reportedly spotted on the FCC and TUV Rheinland certification websites hinting at an imminent launch.
The Galaxy A16 4G and A16 5G were reportedly certification websites
Today, folks over at 91Mobiles spotted the 4G and 5G models of the Samsung Galaxy A16 smartphone on the USA’s FCC certification website. The “Status Information” page for the 4G model on FCC’s website reportedly details its “Wi-Fi Mac Address,” “Bluetooth address,” and serial number.
The FCC ID for the 4G model of the Galaxy A16 is A3LSMA165M. It is worth noting that the device will come with support for Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, and of course 4G LTE. The FCC listing also details the model number of the 4G device, charger, and data cable which are SM-A165M/DS, EP-TA800, and EP-DN980, respectively.
On the other hand, the listing tells us the FCC ID of the Galaxy A16 5G which is A3LSMA166M. Besides, the FCC listing also suggests that the device will support 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. Additionally, the model number for its charger and data cable are EP-TA800 and EP-DN980, respectively.
The FCC listing also includes a rough sketch of the device hinting at the triple-rear camera setup. However, that seems confirmed based on the exclusive image of the Galaxy A16 5G shared by us.
The TUV Rheinland listing reveals the battery capacity of the 5G model
That’s not all, both models of the Galaxy A16 were spotted on the TUV Rheinland certification website. The TUV Rheinland listing suggests that the 5G model could come with a rated battery of 4860mAh and 5000mAh typical.
Besides, the listing reportedly suggests that both models could come with 18W fast wired charging support at 9V and 2.77A. Meanwhile, you can expect a 25W charger in the box alongside both models of the Galaxy A16.
Earlier, some leaks hinted that the 5G model could pack Samsung’s Exynos 1330 SoC under the hood. Additionally, the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 might power the device’s 4G LTE model. The best part is that Samsung could offer a massive six years of Android OS updates for both devices.
That’s not all, previous leaks also hint that the Galaxy A16 4G and A16 5G could come with similar color options i.e. Black, Gray, and Light Green. Moreover, both devices could run Android 14-based One UI 6.1 out of the box.
