Samsung has quietly unveiled its newest smartphone, the Galaxy A16 5G, which will have a huge six years of software support.
The phone hasn’t yet been officially announced but the company has listed it on its Dutch website which is where it was first spotted.
The smartphone is the successor to the A15 5G which was released last year.
As the company did the usual rundown of the product’s features and key selling points, it also described the mobile phone as being “future-proof with 6x OS upgrades.
“Your Galaxy A16 5G comes with up to 6 generations of OS upgrades and 6 years of security maintenance and is therefore always up to date.”
That means those who purchase the device can expect software updates until October 31, 2030. Although the South Korean-based company isn’t a stranger to offering long support like with its Galaxy S24 series which saw seven years of Android OS updates and security patches, it’s fairly uncommon for a budget device.
