Samsung Galaxy deals are a dime-a-dozen this time of year, but leave it to T-Mobile to skip the discounts and give out its smartphones for completely free. Bring an existing number to Metro by T-Mobile with the $40/month Period plan and that’s exactly what will happen, as the prepaid carrier will hook you up with a free Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. No trade-in required!
The Galaxy A16 5G is a budget Android phone that comes with a few premium specs that you might not expect, such as an AMOLED display, a microSD slot, and a large 5,000mAh battery.
Like the rest of Samsung’s A series smartphones, the Galaxy A16 is all about bringing the Samsung experience to a wider audience by offering flagship-level specs at a much lower cost.
Usually retailing for around $229.99, the Galaxy A16 5G boasts a sleek, lightweight design with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, IP54 water and dust resistance, and a versatile triple-camera lens system. The generous 5,000mAh battery is sure to last multiple days on a single charge, and the six-year software promise ensures that your phone will get OS upgrades for many years to come. The phone even comes with a microSD card slot for expandable storage!
Although it’s not necessarily the best unlimited plan we’ve ever used, the $40/month Period. plan from Metro by T-Mobile is no slouch either, offering users unlimited talk, text, and data (capped at 35GB before speeds slow) on T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G network. Other perks include a 5-year price guarantee, Scam Shield protection, and access to T-Mobile Tuesdays, which gives you weekly deals on food, gas, and more via the Metro app.
