Prime Day came and went, but there are still some nice deals here and there. The Samsung Galaxy A16 has a $200 MSRP, but right now, you can grab one for a mere $142, or $58 off. That's almost 30% off one of the best budget phones your money can buy, and while it doesn't shine spec-wise, there are still a few reasons why you'll want to get this one.

As I mentioned, the specs aren't the best. We have a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which is good but not ideal, seeing how many 120Hz phones are out there these days. Powering the device is Samsung's own Exynos 1330 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, expandable up to 1.5TB via microSD. It has a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens, alongside a 13MP front camera for selfies. The Galaxy A16 also has a nice 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging, so you should have both all-day power and quick top-ups.

Why should you get this phone, though? Aside from all of these specs, this unit is notable because it will get a whopping six years of major Android updates, which is basically unprecedented in phones within this price point. Spend $142 now and you'll have a phone that gets updates all the way through 2031, and right up until Android 20 or Android 21. You may not keep it for that long, but it ensures you can continue to pass it down to family members or friends. Not a bad deal at all.

Make sure to grab this deal before it's gone!
