Nice device by Samsung, in low budget.

Good phone, but Amazon won't gift wrap it even though I asked.

So to start with device history, this is my second official device that i owned as a new... To make a purchase decision i have very specifics to hunt for in a device and i always made the right choice since my first device Asus Zenfone Max M2 3GB 32 GB, i used that device for 4 years 😂yes it used to have support for 30FPS pubg back in them days.... Now this device GALAXY M16... 6 GB 128GB model i ordered and i got it exchanged with Poco C3 a device from my granny she passed away and after Asus i had that proxy device but it was worse... Display: In comparison to GALAXY M16, i had Really piece of cr** proxy device that couldn't do basics and be, it's display it was so bad that you would hope that your punishment on eyes should end ... 😒The pixel DENSITY MATTERS mind that higher the pixel density the better it is for our eyes as we are having narrowed field of vision so the clarity that we refer for far away objects has to be clear as our natural vision so for our nearest picture that we look at if s a object say a brush you stare at then you render it beyond 8k... 😒But your device has barely the 2k panel and if it should be a high resolution display it helps your eyes not loose the reference of clarity and that causes the loss in vision ... 😒 Just switched from 720p to 1080p with this device and amoled flickers and may cause eyes to fatigue so due to that i did my own research that what display is good and how that really matters.... Picture quality of samsung... It's better after change the color temperature settings to neutral instead of vivid display is color accurate... The overall content consumption should not be a issue, 1080p is max and 2K it can handle... Brightness? Enough bright indoors or outdoors but in harsh sunlight you may suffer a bit? Just a bit if you're under the sun watching youtube you know😅😂... But it's usable beyond your expectations it's super bright for it's purpose as a phone against the grain testing is not mature .... Practical display, sharpness and brightness and so does the color contrast it's excellent for you can verify the color reproduction using basic steps like camera output and getting reference images of certain things that could show you what is what but yeah there is a white balance issue it seems some times but it's not some thing that one would even notice it's really very faint color calibration issue it seems but then I'm coming from a eye messing troubling display so maybe my eyes are adjusting to better calibrated display. That's what it seems and exudes....i loved the display I don't mind the notch or punch hole both are unnecessary believe me 😅companies can deal in with smaller notches better than punch hole displays... Notched are better or not no idea but the display tech matters and here Samsung won my views❤️🥰 beautiful display I'm in love with it's performance... Yeah 90HZ is true thing it works for the word it mentions ....10/10(the only display that's beautiful and safe choice than ips or 720 or whichever it be this is brand and you'll feel the difference🤔 I'm feeling that so....) Camera: for me IDC sbout the rear camera if saves some landscapes for me on s day or two it's enough never do i expect the rear camera to perform like to really be there DSLR but i loce to play with pro mode and some times aim at the moon or sun or them clouds.. but it is matters only when i click a thousand on my frknt camera and here with front cam being 13MP i hoped more clarity but Samsung has post processing profile set on ISP so we cannot do much until GCAM is to be the case... But the front cam tells kne story that I'll give you pictures you can focus on smiling and getting the best pose and there I'll process the image, the results are 7/10 usable seflies and it's a very good performance considering the way i have tested it more is indoors and not outdoors more so the lighting conditions are to tell you different story everytime you click one but yes details and colors are good the skin tones sometimes end up white washing the ambience so idk why Samsung had to s*** at this but they will improve the cam with next update for the user experience based updates would be really cool for brand to strengthen it's value in customer's minds and seflies!... Selfies matter to me and that's the reason why i nought this phone. There were all sheet options on the market that said i saw the samples of all close to my budget and this is the only phone with better feedback from reviewers so far... I saw for myself that the way i look the way i have the face it shows me such and then the details they depend upon the lights so.... Adobe lightroom camera thing that they have in photoshop app maybe and then that GCAM port if you can get access to... I'm satisfied with the camera .. you can have a look at the way it processes the image... It's detail processing is legit but does a mixed bag of image cooking... Overall 8/10 Processor, ROM, RAM & PERFORMANCE!: Absolutely impressed!..... 10/10 for both the brands that have made this possible .. the processor is a budget centric offering and it has been so far the best ohone i have ever had? The software plays the hardware and this is very serious. OneUi and the way Samsung has invested in the device to compensate with instructions that ensure efficiency to churn out every bit of performance from the SOC is super smooth ... It makes your everyday tasks feel super convenient by doing one thing... Response.... You get that UFS2.2, it's faster storage than my previous device's storage speeds... It's multi-tasking is well managed with the ram variant 6GB so with 6GB and 8GB variant you get option to extend additional ram of 6GB and 8GB respectively depending on the variant. The device after this option being enabled performs better with ram management and keeps all the apps in the background. Extremely helpful for people who multi task with mindful tasks handling like closing the rest others as to focus on what's important. 🤔The device's perfomance ... I started of with BGMI later first was Asihalt legends and damn the way the phone by handles the games is super smooth.... Every time i drifted i was feeling that beautiful processing that it wiuld do... I just downloaded it fjr fun not into car games on phkne 😂 so BGMI smooth + 60FPS and it works fine except for it would lag more often around enemies so if you stress train the SOC to work for those kind of tasks more with TDM then processor can handle it better with it's energy creation threshold being pushed and then firther you need a limiter to that perfomer right? So around ₹1.5k you will find a best cooler and this device can even deliver 90FPS if you wanna root and stuff but yes? No you'll get max 70 so still this device is capable to game kn but yes you'll make device understand the way you use it. Then cooler helps sustained performance and at times when enemies appear if the CPU temperatures are low the performance curves it could manage more efficiently before throttling down to create breathing pulsating processing it be... But if you install a cooler the vent is created for the he as t to escape so it gives sustained performance while the processor becomes faster for you with you overclocking your phone's SOC right? 😅 It's bare 15% of performance boost but it helps ... I used to use paper sheets made wet. The Asus phone had metal back or some material that it used to help with heat dissipation. Is the perfomance a downer? No... It's not perfect for gamers... But how much you care and what type of game you play high speed action games they be the faster the device has to render the powerful that SOC has to be so for the device the budget SOC has give. The option of 60 FOS but it can manage up to 70 FPS if you manually stress train it and ofcourse with protection or else SOC will be damaged ... So it can handle BGMI all day long .. no issues but the enemies if are to approach for if it's a event or a full squad vs you as usual then you will feel the render lag a bit more than you can tolerate but that's due to processor chickening to what it should respond to... It has less of the counter codes aligned on them threads to render the complex live interactions between players and then the map as well so if you are to never stress the processor while gaming and you let it run below room temperatures then at the time of the fight you may feel the render lag not as you never stressed the processor to throttle neither it's gonna heat up so stress is the lack of thread and then lesser cylinders say the gruntier engine but if you can install a oil cooler in the same small capacity then it is gonna give performance instead of mileage same thing is how this device can perform.... PGT GFX tool is a ₹20 affair so you can use that as well it just is gonna give you sll the perfomance without the cooler or the stress training.... idk why I'm mentioning this jugaad but this strategy works for users who would want to game right? 😒Alot of users might want to .. so it's mindful word such was the video some years ago over the way the smartphone can be overclocked if.... Ram management as said it's superb... Keeps big apps 3 at times in memory for quite a reasonable logical time.... Then medium and small apps, keeps all apps logical amount of multitasking needs, 6-7 is also beyond logic 😒so 12k but it's already outperforming.... 🤔 I loved the app open close animations and the way it displays it all quick and responsive ... The overall user interface is super friendly it's very useful.... Some preloaded apps and ads but can be disabled so no complains for third party investors.... Performance 11/10 for me the device is a champ and no lag no stutters it's being performing very well is super fast and it's really very good device and performs well... But if you game and you want a gaming device then don't ruin your gaming experience for better display is only here under 15k... The better perfomance it might be a drag but then you can find other devices and ruin your vision for you gotta game on budget? 😒This ain't the device for gaming but it can game and quite better than most cost cutters in the segment below or above... It's F06 also with same processor ram and rom so? 😒Samsung is killing it already the best phones but then games.... Okay it can handle yes it's not meant to do that... The rest of any task it be app switching multi tasking there is not single app crash and you'll never go back to chinese fast food industry... The software linking in the device can be unmatched by the chinese giants yes they are giants but the software is tiny effort it shows is why you cannot have the value for money and brand value sit in the same place, here samsung has done a very great job of doing the phone with a processor that they can promise updates till 2030... 🥰Would love to experience that far with a device for sure.... This can last me for my journey to come ahead.... Yes you can game but yes it's not meant for gaming. Yes you(and love the performance if this device gives you the traction between the tasks and it's not slow it's with you... Very good performing phone and 10/10 or 11/10 or beyond expectations..... Battery Life: Around 7-8 hours of Screen On Time SOT and this is possible with mixed usage of many mixed things apps videos and games but this device kills it all is having a power efficient processor and is calibrated to last you more than a day... Idle battery drain is minimum or none.... The way battery behaves is dependent on the temperature....there the SOC and rest of the components stay calm due to processor being calm..... The battery management that Samsung has done is best, you can feel the quality..... NEVER HEATS up except you if is charging the device as well as using it for performance intensive task then for sure the device heats up but I'm using it wothoit case and it not even once for a bit felt that i should stop playing BGMI... So 🥰 it's a cool device. Build Quality & Durability : been using device withit case and scuffs... Damn this a polycarbonate build and you if want the device to have value then body discoloration shaves the value for sure... The polycarbonate but is of good quality but as said the body is not metal so case is must... Display no idea what is protection so asked AI: Here are the display specifications for the Samsung Galaxy M16 5G: - *Display Type*: Super AMOLED - *Screen Size*: 6.7 inches (17.02 cm) - *Resolution*: 1080 x 2340 pixels (FHD+) - *Pixel Density*: 385 ppi - *Aspect Ratio*: 19.5:9 - *Refresh Rate*: 90 Hz - *Screen-to-Body Ratio*: 86.0% - *Bezel-less Display*: Yes, with a waterdrop notch - *Touch Screen*: Capacitive Touchscreen, Multi-touch - *Brightness*: 800 nits - *Screen Protection*: Gorilla Glass So it has protection but not gonna test that so yes got a ₹100 tempered glass for it.. but ordered a spigen case for it expensive but it's worth the quality... The camera module the on the rear protrudes and it caused the scuffs there is where the scuffs are... And the case is must on the day one itself..... Or else you know you don't now what may happen but this device? It's tank it's built to last and it depends if you wanna drop it by mistake that too slowly or throw it for it is said the order case is must. Charging and charger : we have a option to uncheck fast charging. That helps with battery life health and then over night if i charge the phone if ...the brand not giving the charger in box was logical? The smartphones all of them have the charging tech in the phone itself so the brands test the heat and charge cycles how the health of battery is sustained ... The no charger in the box stated that you may charge with any other charger we will help your device's battery to have longer lifespan but with proprietary charger being costing 1.5k is just cheap strategy of brand, i asked for simple charger but it has some speed based hierarchy... So unhappy with no charger in the box but then USB C TO C? It's budget device damn no USB type A to USB C so that i have to use a shorter cable for charging purposes... No IP rating but has gaskets to prevent water from entering but if you drown it maybe it will give up.... No headphone jack, i prefer having that than missing it... No stereo Speaker but? SPEAKER IS SUPER LOUD CLEAR AND BASS HEAVY.... It's call quality is also good due to noise cancellation microphone is present on device Fingerprint sensor works flawlessly, except for samsung to limit your fingerprints only three are allowed. Overall I'm happy with the purchase Blush Pink was my color matter.. for real if you are looking for a phone which works then this exceeds expectations. I loved my purchase here at Amazon and i loved this device here would recommend to all with persepctive that is details here for a reason. Love this device thanks to Samsung and google for being there to make a experience better❤️🥰 BEST DEVICE EVER

Don't buy it, because phone hanged just in 3 months , overheat , battery dry quickly , Speaker nosie heavy sound quality low

Reviews are finally up. Can't believe they removed review option for this product after its launch. Not a good move by Apple of Android. Now, on with the show : + You get Amoled screen - Not very good in direct sunlight or outdoors. Auto brightness doesn't work well. I can live with notch though. + 6 years of update "promised" (not guaranteed) - Still in android 14 and in January patch at the time of this review. + NFC support - Never used this feature once. + Performance is good for the budget. I don't play games. - Worst front facing camera I used. And I have always used budget phones. + Back camera is average. Didn't use it much though. - I do miss stereo speakers during video calls or music playing. (I also have Realme P1 as a primary) + Battery is also average. Not great not worst. - No charger. Seriously. And charge time is just insanely high for a 5000mah Battery. + OneUI is great. - Bloatware install during setup and hidden settings is not great. - Only 3 fingerprints can be added. More would have been nice. - UFS 2.2 storage is slow and not at all worth it. App installation is going to take more time than downloading it. Suggestions : > Use light theme throughout the day. > Disable unwanted apps. > If you use it yourself or give this to your parents or any one, please disable glance and disable any bloatware you don't want. > F16 was launched a bit cheaper than this one. Go for that one. Overall it is good for the price. It does exactly what I need. Nothing more, nothing less. *Edit - Touch becomes unresponsive during charging so you cannot use it during charging. Also heats and hangs during video calls. It is not even 1 year. It is not gonna survive the update policy period. It is totally not worth the money. No proximity sensor also. Screen remains on during calls. Changing review to 1 star.

No multitasking performance Too lagg

I am really happy, using samsung after approximately 8 years. If has so many better features than my old redmi. Alhamdulillah, go for it if you don't have to do heavy work (like editing, gaming) on phone but just light weight things (messaging,calling,yt,) Happy with the customization. The overall feel is luxurious and wholesome It hasn't heated that much, maybe cause I don't scroll for hours on it but do lightweight work like customising my homescreen page using the features to the fullest. According to the 4gb ram varient i got the touch isn't bad but quiet nice and smooth. But let's be honest after some months it may get little less smooth but for that one must keep cleaning their phone from random old screenshots and random PDFs and files and the touch will never fade. The less you make compensate the more your phone will always be smooth. It's an 100% Value for money, if you are looking for less money more features. I was surprised now did I even got this phone at just 10,999/- Battery life is significantly good. Camera quality is not that great but just fine as it doesn't matter that much for me.

Liked it veery much
