If you’ve been holding out on getting a new phone, Samsung might’ve just dropped the perfect excuse to upgrade.
The Galaxy A06 and A16, Samsung’s already wallet-friendly smartphones, just got a price drop. If you’re eyeing the sleek AMOLED display on the A16 or prefer the compact, on-the-go vibes of the A06, both phones are now more affordable for first-time smartphone users or anyone who just wants a dependable daily driver.
What’s new (and affordable)?
- Galaxy A16 5G (256GB) – Now ₱12,990 (was ₱13,990)
- Galaxy A16 LTE (128GB) – Now ₱8,990 (was ₱9,990)
- Galaxy A06 5G (128GB) – Now ₱6,990 (was ₱7,990)
- Galaxy A06 LTE (128GB / 64GB) – Now ₱5,590 / ₱4,790
Pretty tempting, right?
Built to keep up with you
If you’re anything like me and use your phone for everything (emails, photos, YouTube, the occasional doomscroll at 2AM) you’ll appreciate that both the A06 and A16 are designed to keep things smooth.
- A06 comes with MediaTek Dimensity 6300 (5G) or Helio G85 (LTE), runs Android 15, and includes Samsung’s Knox Vault for security.
- A16 offers a 6.7” FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a sleeker design, and a longer promise of updates—6 years of security and OS support!
And yes, both phones come with a 5,000mAh battery and 25W fast charging so you won’t be tethered to an outlet all day.
Design that doesn’t scream “Budget”
The A06 is IP54-rated for splash resistance (finally!), while the A16 levels up the aesthetic with rounded corners and classy color options like Blue Black and Gold. No more “just another budget phone” looks here.
Perks and promos
Until June 30, 2025, every Galaxy A06 5G comes with a free travel adapter. You can also pay via credit card, Home Credit, Trade-In, or Samsung Finance+—with 0% installment if you want to stretch the spend.
It’s nice to see Samsung giving more options in the sub-10K range. Not everyone needs a flagship and if all you need is a phone that looks good, lasts all day, and runs like a champ, the A06 or A16 might just fit your vibe (and budget).
