Samsung’s Galaxy M16 5G is shaping up to be a significant upgrade in the brand’s affordable midrange lineup. Exclusive renders from AndroidHeadlines reveal a more refined design and modern features compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy M15.
The Galaxy M16 5G adopts a sharper, flat-edged frame, similar to Samsung’s higher-end devices. Unlike the minimalist, sensor-only design seen in recent Galaxy phones, the M16 5G features a vertical triple-camera array housed in a distinct “island” module.
Samsung will offer the device in three color options, highlighting a clean and sophisticated look. While the front maintains an Infinity-U notch for the selfie camera, the bezels—especially the “chin”—are not among the thinnest in the segment.
Samsung Galaxy M16 5G specs:
AMOLED with Infinity-U notch
MediaTek Dimensity 6300
Up to 8GB (more variants expected)
Triple-camera setup (details unknown)
Selfie camera (specifics unknown)
Android 14
