Samsung Galaxy A12 (Exynos)

Samsung Galaxy A12 Launch in India

Samsung is a well-known brand in India with an infinite number of users. Also, the South Korean brand is known for its overall specs to price ratio and most of the smartphones from the brand give tough competition to other brands. From flagship to entry-level, Samsung has covered all the sections. Refreshing its budget series in India, Samsung has introduced a new smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A12 with a large display and a large battery among other features, Let’s take a look at all the features one by one to arrive at our final verdict. 

Samsung Galaxy A12 Price in India 

Samsung Galaxy A12 pricing in India starts at Rs 13,999 for 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage and goes up to Rs 14,999 for 4GB of RAM and 128GB. A black, white, or blue version of the phone is available from Amazon India.

Samsung Galaxy A12 Design

164 mm height and 75.8 mm broad, the Galaxy A12 is a big plastic slab with rounded edges. In terms of physical size, it’s a bit larger than the usual contemporary Android phone. An indentation for the front-facing camera sits above the display, and a tiny bezel surrounds the screen. In addition to its plastic sides and back, the Galaxy A12’s upper rear part features a texture. 

The microSD and SIM card slots are located on the phone’s left side. You’ll find volume controls on the right, as well as a fingerprint sensor that serves as a power switch. There is also a USB Type-C connector, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and one speaker on the bottom. As you’d expect from a budget phone, the speaker sounds terrible.

Samsung Galaxy A12 Display

The Galaxy A12 features a 6.5in PLS display (essentially Samsung’s IPS-like screen) with a resolution of 720 x 1,600 and 264PPI. While this falls short of Full HD experiences for the price, particularly with the big display, it appears wonderfully sharp in day-to-day use. It’s not a horrible panel, and it’s comparable to the Moto G9 Power and Nokia 5.3. However, it falls far short of the excellent standards set by the Poco X3 NFC.

Samsung Galaxy A12 Processor

To power the Galaxy A12, Samsung has opted for Mediatek’s Helio P35 CPU instead of Qualcomm’s low-end Snapdragon or Exynos processors with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. When it comes to gaming, it is not suggested for high-end gaming, but rather for typical leisure gaming. Based on Android 10, the phone runs One UI 2.5. Knox security version 3.6 protects the Galaxy A12.

Samsung Galaxy A12 Camera

Three of the Galaxy A12’s four cameras may be utilised to take photos. The Quad-rear camera setup features a 48MP primary lens, a 5MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro. The final camera is a 2MP depth sensor, which is meant to assist the other lenses. On the front, there’s an 8MP camera for selfies. As with other cheap phones, the primary camera may capture decent photographs if you have a lot of natural light.

Samsung Galaxy A12 Battery

Here in the Galaxy A12, the battery capacity is around 5000mAh. If you don’t use the phone too much, you may expect it to last more than two days. And if you use it continually like any other phone, you’ll probably need to charge it on the same day. In the package, you will find a free 15W fast charger but bear in mind that it will still take a few hours to completely charge this battery at this rate.

Samsung Galaxy A12 First Impressions

Due to the fact that the Galaxy A12 is presently one of Samsung’s cheapest smartphones, its lack of speed is not surprising. However, even by the standards of other cheap smartphones, this phone is very difficult to operate. During the initial setup procedure, a sluggish keyboard is a sure sign that you’re in for trouble.
