Product details

The Samsung Galaxy A12 is an entry-level smartphone with a minimalist design and a large 6.5-inch Infinity-V display. Inside, the fast octa-core processor and 4 GB of RAM ensure smooth performance for multimedia applications. The ample storage provides enough space for stunning shots from various perspectives with the quad main camera and the 8 MP front camera. The powerful battery allows for hours of video or gaming enjoyment and can be quickly recharged thanks to Adaptive Fast Charging. The quick fingerprint unlock on the side of the Galaxy A12 provides the necessary security. This phone can accommodate more than one SIM card, allowing for the simultaneous use of multiple mobile subscriptions. This is very convenient if you want to separate business from personal matters or use a local subscription while abroad without losing accessibility under your known number. Over time, photos, movies, music, and apps accumulate, making storage space tighter. This mobile phone features a card reader, allowing you to easily expand the storage capacity.

  • PositiveGood runtime and charging time
  • Positiveguaranteed updates
  • NegativeWorking speed lame
  • NegativePoor contrast

Weaknesses in the camera and operating speed cost the Galaxy A12 the test victory. However, the battery life and charging time are better than those of the test winner. The models are not much different in terms of display and camera. Samsung also guarantees updates.

  • NegativeVery slow
  • Negativebad display
  • NegativeNot waterproof

Agonisingly slow, a dark and blurred display, plus slow Wi-Fi: the A12 is the worst Samsung smartphone according to the current test procedure. But the battery lasts a long time and NFC is included. With 32 GB from 129 euros.
