Samsung Galaxy A12 Device Overview

The Samsung Galaxy A12 is the Korean company’s budget offering in this world of premium and mid-range phones. It sports a 6.2-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 720×1280 pixels with a pixel density of 221 pixels per inch (ppi). It has narrow bezels to the sides with a slightly noticeable chin at the bottom. The top bezel houses the required sensors, an earpiece, and the front-facing camera in a waterdrop style notch. This makes the Galaxy A12 a great budget phone for consuming media thanks to its vibrant IPS LCD panel.

Coming to the internals, the Galaxy A12 packs a MediaTek Helio P22 (MT6762) SoC and is backed up by 3GB of RAM. It comes with a base storage of 32GB which might seem a bit too little for many people but is easily expandable up to 512GB via the micro SD card slot that it houses. Overall, the octa-core chipset should be enough to power the most basic of apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, and even play casual games that aren’t too graphic demanding. The phone is powered by a 4000 mAh battery which should suffice most people for over a day given the phone’s rather low-end specifications.

Coming to the cameras on the Galaxy A12, it boasts a dual-camera setup at the rear with a configuration of 13+2MP. The front camera is a decent 8MP sensor that is good enough for selfies under well-lit scenarios. The Galaxy A12 comes with Samsung’s OneUI skin out of the box and runs atop Android 9 Pie which is quite disappointing. Users can expect an update to Android 10 in the coming few months. Overall, the phone is of great value for people who need a very basic smartphone.
