It’s almost closing time and the Cyber Monday retailers are about to mark up prices on everything left in your carts. But you still have time! And if you’re looking for a cheap Android phone deal, there’s one obvious pick that won’t feel too expensive this late in the game: the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G for $149 ($50 off) at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Among the best Android phones under $200<\/a>, this and the Moto G 2025<\/a> have the same Cyber Monday deal price. But while Moto’s phone is ranked first in our guide, there are very good reasons to pick the A16 instead! Its 6.7-inch, 1080p display is higher resolution and uses OLED instead of LCD, it’s slightly more water resistant (IP54 vs. IP52), and it gets six years of software updates, while Motorola only promises three years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2705Recommended if: You want to spend as little money as possible without compromising on basic quality, and you expect your smartphone to last for years with regular updates and no security concerns. You’d prefer a 1080p, 800-nit AMOLED display to the Moto G’s 720p, 120Hz LCD display.<\/p>\n

\u274cSkip this deal if: You’re able to splurge for the Galaxy A36 \u2014 currently $274.99 ($125 off) at Best Buy<\/a> \u2014 and receive upgrades to performance, memory, display refresh rate (120Hz) and brightness (1,900 nits), charging speed (45W), and protection (Victus+ glass and IP67 dust & water resistance).<\/p>\n

While most of the best budget Android phones<\/a> are discounted for Cyber Monday, they’re still pricier than what you’d pay for the Galaxy A16, like $449 for the Pixel 9a<\/a> or $284 for the Moto G Stylus 2025<\/a>. The Galaxy A16 can’t match these mid-range phones for raw hardware and performance, but the Galaxy name does guarantee a certain level of software quality that most other budget phones can’t match.<\/p>\n

Our advice? Either go for the Galaxy A16 5G or look at the 2025 lineup of Moto G phones, like the Moto G 2025<\/a> and Moto G Power 2025<\/a>. Anything cheaper than these probably won’t live up to your expectations.<\/p>\n
