Your Galaxy A16 5G comes with 128GB of internal storage and supports microSD cards up to 1.5TB. MicroSD cards are categorized into various classes based on their storage capacity and speed ratings. They range from 2GB to 2TB, with higher numbers indicating faster speeds.

MicroSDXC cards are recommended for high-resolution video recording due to their large storage capacity and fast read/write capabilities. However, for less demanding tasks like still photography, regular microSD or microSDHC cards suffice.

1. To insert a microSD card, first completely power down your phone.
2. Then, use the ejector tool (provided with your phone) to gently press into the hole next to the tray.
   
   
3. Once the tray pops out, carefully pull it out of the phone.
4. Place the microSD card into the larger opening of the tray. Make sure the gold contacts face downwards.
5. Reinsert the tray back into the phone.
6. If you encounter any difficulties, seek assistance from your carrier.
