Performance Highlights
The Galaxy F16 5G scored 678 in the single-core test and 1,902 in the multi-core test on Geekbench 6. These scores are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chipset, a capable SoC for mid-range 5G devices.
The Dimensity 6100+ offers efficient performance and supports dual 5G SIM cards, making it ideal for budget-conscious consumers seeking fast connectivity.

Operating System
The Galaxy F16 5G is expected to run Android 14 out of the box, topped with Samsung’s One UI 6.0. This ensures access to the latest features and security updates, although the presence of Android 15 in the market raises questions about Samsung’s update strategy.
