NANNEE A17 Mini Smartphone vs Samsung Galaxy A16 5G

These two are not really rivals: the Galaxy A16 5G is a full modern phone, and the NANNEE A17 Mini is a tiny 3-inch 3G handset. Buy the A16 for anyone who needs a real daily phone; its 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, 5G, 50MP camera, 5000 mAh battery and 128GB storage put it far ahead on features and build. The A17 Mini only makes sense as a pocket-sized backup, a first phone for a young child, or a travel spare, and its 2.9-out-of-5 rating from 22 ratings says owners are often disappointed. The A16's 4.2 out of 5 from about 6,000 ratings is the stronger signal.

• Choose the NANNEE A17 Mini if you want the smallest possible phone for a child, a glovebox or a backup line, and calls and messaging matter more than apps or photos.
• Choose the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G if this is your main phone and you want a current Android with 5G, a big AMOLED screen, a real camera and long battery life.
