Galaxy A16 5G at Mint: $185 off + 50% off 12-month data
$15
$200
$185 off (93%)
Mint Mobile's limited-time holiday offer saves you $185 on the Galaxy A16 5G. Users can bundle the device with a 12-month data plan, with prices of just $15/mo. Users picking the unlimited plan get 50% off its yearly price and pay just $180 for a whole year of service.
When one sees such a stupendous discount, it’s natural to wonder whether it’s too good to be true. While that can sometimes happen, Mint actually lays out its fine print right before your eyes.
First, users get a device locked to Mint Mobile, with a limit of four per order. It automatically unlocks after 60 days. The device ships in a Mint-branded box, not the original manufacturer’s packaging. You still get all accessories and parts.
What’s more, Mint Mobile customers who purchase the Galaxy A16 5G have seven days to return the device if dissatisfied. Returns are straightforward through Mint’s Return Policy, and users can choose whether to return a service plan only or a smartphone and plan bundle.

If I were choosing a Mint Mobile plan, I'd absolutely go for the 12-month unlimited. Not only does it come with unlimited data, but it also costs the same as the 5GB data plan: $180 for a year, paid upfront (50% off). The MVNO states that users who use more than 50GB of data per month may experience slower speed in some regions or when the network is busy.
Mint’s unlimited data plan includes up to 20GB of mobile hotspot per month. With this carrier, you also get video streaming at about 480p. Beyond the high-speed 5G and 4G mobile data, users receive unlimited text and talk and free calls to Canada, the UK, and Mexico. Customer service is available seven days a week, giving users assistance whenever they need it.

My two cents on this offer
I wouldn't go for an unlocked phone usually, but this Mint Mobile offer is quite hard to beat. Let's face it: who would resist saving $185 on a smartphone that usually costs $199.99? Even with the 12-month unlimited data plan included, the overall price remains very tempting.
That said, a full year of service (paid upfront) may feel like a big commitment to some users. But anyone comfortable using Mint service for a year will get a decent device and quality service for a fraction of the usual cost.
