Promptly delivered. Excellent quality. Looks & performs as new. Great budget phone with more than ample functionality for most users. No need to go brand new top of the range when you use a neglible amount of what the device can do.

Ordered on a Friday, supposed to take 3-4 days. Instead it arrived sunday, I missed the delivery but still collected it next day. Phone is flawless (And a bargain). The box it came in was open, if not I would have thought i was sent a brand new phone by mistake. Will be using Back Market for most of my tech for the foreseeable future.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 stands as the practical choice for anyone seeking a straightforward smartphone with essential features and modern connectivity. Released in December 2023, this 6.5-inch device sits just one generation behind Samsung’s latest Galaxy A models—making it a solid contender for everyday tasks, streaming, and social updates without unnecessary complexity.

Key features:

Release Date: December 2023
Display: 6.5-inch PLS LCD, HD+ resolution (720 x 1600 px)
Processor: MediaTek Helio G85
Camera: Triple rear setup with 50MP main, 2MP macro, 2MP depth sensor
Operating System: Ships with Android 14 (One UI 6)
Wi-Fi: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Wi-Fi 5)
Build Quality: Plastic frame and back with Gorilla Glass front

Who is this for?

The Galaxy A16 is best suited for students, casual users, or anyone needing a reliable backup device. Its large display is great for video calls and social feeds, while the camera setup manages day-to-day snaps—though it can’t match the punch of high-end Samsung flagships. Compared to more premium Galaxy S models, the A16 offers the basics, no bells and whistles—just reliable performance for the essentials.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Simple, clean interface with One UI 6 and Android 14.	HD+ resolution is less sharp than FHD or AMOLED alternatives.
Triple camera setup for varied photography.	Plastic build means durability over flashiness—no premium metals here.
Up-to-date software out of the box.	Entry-level processing power—not fit for heavy multitasking or demanding games.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished Galaxy A16 is a savvy move for those who care about reducing electronic waste—not just getting a decent phone. All devices from Back Market are thoroughly checked and tested to meet tough quality standards, so you know exactly what you’re getting. Learn more about our quality standards.
