Samsung Galaxy A16 5G vs iPhone SE 2022

The Galaxy A16 5G is the better pick for most people: a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen at 90Hz, a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W wired charging, a 50MP main camera and 128GB of storage. The iPhone SE 2022 wins on raw power and longevity: the A15 Bionic chip is far faster than the A16's Exynos-class processor, and Apple supports iPhones with iOS updates for years. Owners praise the SE's speed and compact size but complain about its small 4.7-inch LCD, dated design and short battery life; A16 owners like the big screen and battery but note the 4GB of RAM and modest performance.

• Choose the Galaxy A16 5G if you want a big AMOLED screen, long battery life, dual SIM and 128GB of storage for media, maps and photos.
• Choose the iPhone SE 2022 if you want the fastest chip in this class, a pocketable phone and years of iOS updates, and can live with 64GB and a small LCD.
