The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G on Cricket Wireless?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Eighty bucks gets a 6.7-inch AMOLED, day-and-a-half battery, 5G, and IP54 — the rest of the sub-$100 shelf is plastic LCD junk.”
“Eighty bucks buys a 90 Hz panel that stutters next to 120 Hz rivals, dims outdoors, on a 4 GB RAM ceiling.”
