Product details

The Samsung Galaxy A12 is an entry-level smartphone with a minimalistic design and a large 6.5-inch Infinity V display. Inside, the fast eight-core processor and 4 GB of working memory ensure a snappy
performance for multimedia applications. The large memory provides enough space for great shots from a variety of perspectives with the quad main camera and the 8 MP front camera. The powerful battery ensures hours of video or gaming enjoyment, and thanks to Adaptive Fast Charging, it is also recharged in a flash. For the necessary security, the quick fingerprint unlock on the side of the Galaxy A12. This phone can be loaded with more than one SIM card and accordingly use more than one mobile subscription at the same time. This is very convenient when you want to separate business from pleasure or use a local subscription abroad without giving up the accessibility under the familiar number. Photos, movies, music, apps - the longer you have your phone, the more files you accumulate and the less storage space you have. This phone has a card reader that allows you to easily expand the storage space.

  • 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.
