Amazon Prime Day Deals Drop the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G to the Lowest We've Seen All Year
While pricing around new technology is increasing, Amazon Prime deals are still here to bring you a few sales on phones -- even those that are already at fair prices. Take this Samsung Galaxy A16 for example. The Samsung Galaxy A series are some of our favorite phones for people on a budget, and while it doesn't have everything the new Samsung Galaxy S25 series offers, it's still a solid device. Best of all, Amazon Prime sales just dropped the phone to a new record low of $142. That's a nice $58 saving for a 2025 model that has 5G built-in; and its the lowest price we have seen all year. The Samsung Galaxy A-series phones are built to last and are our favorite options for those who want an affordable model that will remain viable for years. Realistically, the new 2025 Galaxy A16 won't exactly keep up with the latest and greatest models from Apple and Google -- or the foldable Samsung devices being announced today at Galaxy Unpacked -- but it still boasts some decent specs for the price. The Samsung Galaxy A15 won the best ultracheap phone on our Best Samsung Phone of 2025 round-up. Our CNET tech experts called it "an easy choice for someone looking to buy a phone that will last for years." They added in the review, "Samsung provides [the Galaxy A15] with four years of software updates and five years of security support, which in this price range is unparalleled." So, the Samsung Galaxy A16 is one step up. Mike Sorrentino, senior tech editor, says that the "Galaxy A16 [is] one of the lowest-cost phones to get a software and security update commitment [for] longer than five years, which could be a benefit for someone looking to buy a simple phone that will be updated." The A16 has an Exynos 1330 processor, a 6.7-inch AMOLED display and an impressive 50-megapixel rear camera. It also has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage that can be expanded using a microSD card. Other features include a tap-to-pay function, an IP54 weather-resistance rating and 25-watt fast-charging support. Best July Prime Day Deals 2025 CNET's team of shopping experts have explored thousands of deals on everything from TVs and outdoor furniture to phone accessories and everyday essentials so you can shop the best Prime Day deals in one place. See Now Why this deal matters We recommend the Samsung Galaxy A series phones as an excellent budget option, which means they're already great value at full price. This deal marks the best discounts we've seen on this new 2025 model, beating out the last record-low price of $175 (now, it's $33 cheaper than that). Plus, this offer is for an unlocked model, giving you the flexibility to activate it with whatever carrier you prefer or use it exclusively over Wi-Fi. Want to check out the competition?

Amazon Deals of the Day: Samsung's Budget Friendly Phone Just Got Even Cheaper
Amazon sells a wide array of products, with new ones arriving daily. The retail giant has everything from home essentials to tech gear and wellness items. As much as it loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. But deciding which deals are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we spotted the Samsung Galaxy A16 down to its record-low price. We also found the Roborock Qrevo Pro robot vacuum and mop for an eye-opening $400 off. And finally, get the party started with the Sonos Move 2 speaker, also down to a record low. Phones are by far one of the biggest essential expenses. Thankfully, the Samsung Galaxy A16 is a solid budget-friendly option. The Samsung Galaxy A-series phones are some our favorite affordable models as they will remain viable for years. You won't have to worry about frequently replacing the phone. It runs on an Exynos 1330 processor, giving you a nice performance. It has a decent seven-inch AMOLED display, too. What's really impressive is the 50-megapixel rear camera giving you clear, high quality images. As for storage you get 4GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage. But you can always expand that by using a microSD card. Right now on Amazon, you can score a nice discount on the unlocked model, which means you can activate it with your carrier of choice or use it exclusively over Wi-Fi. It normally runs for $200 but you can score $25 off right now bringing it down to $175. And it's available in two colors. Chores are never fun to do. Personally, my least favorite is cleaning the floors. If you're still using a heavy, corded vacuum, you probably agree with me on that. A robot vacuum can help ease this burden. The Roborock Qrevo Pro is not just a robot vacuum but a mop, too. This combo cleaner has a massive 7,000 Pa suction so it'll pick up every last spec of dirt. And to really be sure no dust or dirt is left behind, a "FlexiArm" side brush helps it clean edges and corners. It can even detects different floor types, easily switching between vacuuming and mopping. The robot is self-emptying and refills the water itself as well. This massively reduces the upkeep time, reducing your workload even more. Of course this doesn't come cheap, with a $1,000 price tag being standard for this model. But right now you can pick one up for $600, a nice 40% discount. This drops it back down to a record-low price. Whether your summer plans include gathering for a picnic, heading over to a pool party or relaxing at the beach, a great speaker can help elevate any activity. Sonos makes some of our favorite speakers. The Sonos Move 2 is currently down to a record-low price on Amazon, now just $336. That's over $100 off from the sticker price of $449. We love it because it is water-resistant and dust-proof, perfect for wherever your adventure takes you. It autotunes to adjust to any environment. It also has a precision-tuned woofer to give you premium quality audio with a deep, dynamic bass. And if you have other Sonos speakers, you can link them for multi-room audio. And don't worry about the speaker running out of power as it has 24 hours of playback time per charge. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET's combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathered the best deals for you to peruse.

Wichita Falls police arrest Dallas man accused of multiple thefts
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A Dallas man faces a felony charge for allegedly stealing from or attempting to steal from several shops in Wichita Falls. On Monday, June 9, at 3:56 p.m., Wichita Falls police were sent to the 3100 block of Midwestern Parkway at Metro by T-Mobile for a man who had reportedly entered the store and attempted to steal a phone. When the officers arrived, they spoke with the manager, who said a bearded black man in a black shirt was in the store, hanging around the iPhones. The manager said when he walked away from the suspect, the man tried to steal the display phone, but he was unsuccessful and left the store to the west. Police said that while they were checking the area, they were informed about the same man allegedly stealing a display phone from the Verizon store in the 3200 block of Midwestern Parkway, Suite 100. Officers said they spoke with the manager, who provided the same description of the suspect as the previous manager. This time, the suspect is alleged to have entered the store, pulled a Samsung Galaxy A16 display cell phone from the mount, and left the store. The phone was valued at $199.99. Officers said they were then waved down by someone who reported the same man described in the two previous incidents allegedly attempted to steal money from the register at Jimmy John's, located in the 3200 block of Midwestern Parkway, Suite 300. Police said they spoke with the employees, who reported the man attempted to take money from a customer who was placing a catering order. Still, the customer stated the suspect did not receive any money. Officers said they found a man matching the description, who was carrying a black and white Nike backpack, walking westbound in the 4000 block of Call Field Road. Police said they attempted to coax the man to come to them, but he continued walking away from them. When the man was threatened with a taser, police said the man stopped walking, was placed in handcuffs and identified as Glenn Earl Thrash II by his driver's license. Authorities said the backpack he was carrying had a TJ Maxx price tag and security tag still attached, and he was also carrying a new Father's Day gift bag full of merchandise. Officers went to TJ Maxx to confirm the items were stolen, and police said store associates told them they saw Thrash pick up the Nike backpack and fill it with merchandise. They alleged he also took a Father's Day gift bag and filled it with merchandise. The TJ Maxx manager said the total value of the items taken was $193.89. When officers attempted to place Thrash in a police unit, they stated that he refused and had to be pulled in by an officer from the other side of the unit. Thrash was charged with theft of property over $2,500 with two or more convictions, resisting, and evading. A records check of Thrash shows he has two previous robbery convictions from 2024, both in Dallas County. At the time of publication, Thrash is still in jail with bonds totaling $54,000.
