Need a budget phone for the upcoming school semester? StraightTalk has one of our favorite values phones on sale for less than $50.<\/p>\n

For a limited time, StraightTalk is the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G for $39<\/a> when you open a new line and sign up to the carrier’s Silver Unlimited data plan or higher. By comparison, it sells for over $100 at Amazon. That’s one of the best cell phone deals<\/a> I’ve seen at StraightTalk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

StraightTalk is part of Verizon’s prepaid brands that also includes the likes of Visible and Total Wireless. It’s a particularly good carrier if you’re looking for value.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Galaxy A16 is a solid affordable entry point in the Galaxy lineup. When it first launched, it retailed for $200. That\u2019s a significant benchmark because many of the best cheap phones<\/a> tend to hover closer to $500.<\/p>\n

The phone offers incredible value while mirroring many features found on premium devices. For example, it boasts a sizable 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, an IP54 rating, six years of guaranteed software updates, and a versatile triple-camera system.<\/p>\n

For a budget handset, you also get a 50MP main shooter, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens. The 13MP front-facing camera should more than suffice for selfies and vlogging. For those who want more control, the \u2018Pro\u2019 mode provides access to manual settings like ISO, shutter speed, and focus.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s pledge of six years of updates is also unheard of at this price point. Combined with a 5,000 mAh battery and 25W wired charging, this phone is built to go the distance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Need a budget phone for the upcoming school semester?
