This could be the first Samsung phone to get 6-years of software updates

The rumor mill keeps churning for Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy A16 series, with a fresh leak showing the budget phone in all its colorful glory – for both the 5G and 4G variants.

The bezels appear slim, but it’s hard to say for sure since the device isn’t fully assembled.
