The EE database listing reveals multiple model numbers associated with the device, likely to be different variants of the device. These include:
SM-A1660: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G DUOS
SM-A166U: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G
SM-A166M: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G
SM-A166B: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G DUOS
SM-A166E: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G DUOS
SM-A166M: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G DUOS
SM-A166P: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G DUOS
SM-A165F DSB: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G DUOS
SM-A165F: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G DUOS
Although specifics are lacking at this stage, the “DUOS” at the end of some model numbers indicates dual SIM capability. As there is no 5G tag, the Samsung Galaxy A16 phone is believed to be a 4G model.
It's worth noting here that a separate listing for the SM-A165F model number was also spotted on the IMEI database, but it didn't reveal anything about the phone's specifications. Now it is known that the Samsung Galaxy A16 phone will work in both 4G and 5G models like its predecessor.
While details about the Samsung Galaxy A16 are currently limited, it's reasonable to speculate that the specs will be based on its predecessor. The Samsung Galaxy A15 handset features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate.
The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G model has the MediaTek Dimension 6100 Plus chipset, while the 4G variant has the MediaTek Helio G99 processor. The phone includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor and comes with a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging support.
It is expected that the Samsung Galaxy A16 series will be refined or upgraded in various components. However, details regarding the new model remain elusive at the moment. Samsung has not yet officially acknowledged the existence of the Samsung Galaxy A16 phone. However, more details about the device's specifications, launch date and price are expected to surface in the coming months.
