Samsung Galaxy A12 - Smartphone 128GB, 4GB RAM, Dual Sim, Blue

Product Information

Battery : Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors.

Battery capacity(mAh, Typical) - Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated capacity is 5,000 mAh. Actual battery life may vary depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors. The other camera modes are fine as far as they go, but aren’t the kind of thing you’ll turn to often. Still, should you ever want to take a close-up shot of a 5p piece as I did below, you’ll get decent results.

The Galaxy A12 comes with a 6.5in PLS display (basically Samsung’s IPS-like panel) with a resolution of 720 x 1,600, giving you approximately 264 pixels per inch. And while this may be some way short of Full HD experiences that you can get for the price, even with the large panel it looks perfectly sharp in day-to-day use.

The 6.5-inch edge-to-edge screen featured on the Galaxy A12 makes it an appropriate model for users that prefer big screens but don't like dishing out high prices that are usually associated with these models. Combined with the four lenses on the rear side, the phone gives off a relatively premium feel at the first impression. However, this feeling goes away as soon as you touch its plastic body, operate its slow processor and interact with its 720 x 1,600-pixel resolution LCD display during your daily tasks. Battery Life and Performance The Galaxy A12 is outfitted with a massive 5,000 mAh battery that lasts around a full day with daily use. It doesn't support wireless charging, but with wired fast charging it fills up in around 2 hours when depleted. The most underwhelming aspect of the phone is its MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35 processor. Unfortunately, combined with the entry-level configuration that features 3GB of RAM, the phone can get stuttery even with relatively demanding applications. Of course, one shouldn't expect a high level of performance from a cheap smartphone like this, but it should be noted regardless. Although for simple daily tasks it's acceptable. Cameras Network : The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the device features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the operator and may change after software upgrades are performed.

It’s not all bad in the performance charts, though: the one area where the hardware really shines is in efficiency, with the 5,000mAh battery managing a whopping 25hrs 58mins in our looped video battery test. Now focusing on the display of the Samsung Galaxy A12, the same comes with a big and bright 6.5 inches TFT display panel. TFT is a type of LCD flat panel display screen in which each pixel is controlled by one to four transistors. The TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most expensive. Yeah so no AMOLED display on the Galaxy A12 dear reader, maybe have a look at other phones in case this is a dealbreaker? Although it really shouldn’t be. We see a rather low 720 x 1560 pixels resolution with 264 PPI density. We’re thinking a compromise had to be made. The other thing that might appear unusual is that dewdrop instead of a hole punch which has now become accustomed to Samsung phones. Android 10 (upgradable to Android 11)These gut impressions are confirmed by the benchmarks. As you can see in the graph below, Geekbench 5 has it performing quite a bit worse than all the rivals I highlighted in the beginning, but it’s an especially poor performer compared to the three Chinese branded handsets – two of which use a superior MediaTek chip. Network: The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider.

Availability of One UI Core features, apps and services may vary depending on device, OS version and country. You also shouldn’t expect miracles of composition as soon as the light levels drop. As these pictures of my garden at sunset show, as soon as the light goes, so does the image quality, with plenty of noise and blur replacing the crisp detail of the daylight shots. This is a problem that all phone cameras face, to be clear, and the Samsung Galaxy A12 isn’t the worst offender by a long shot.

Basically, the delay between pressing the shutter button and a picture being taken means that anything that’s prone to any kind of sudden movements – think birds, babies, cats or dogs – will almost inevitably be a blurry mess by the time the phone finishes capturing the image. It’s here in spades. User Available Memory: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the device features.

Yes in case you are wondering till now, this phone, Galaxy A12 runs the Android 10 operation system. Samsung did mention (not specifically with this phone) that its phone will be getting up to 3 years of major updates henceforth. So expect Android 11 here? And 12? We shall see. The processing unit onboard here is a Mediatek Helio P35 CPU. As for the storage options, the Samsung Galaxy A12 offers 32GB with 3GB RAM or 64GB with 4GB RAM, or the maxed out 128GB with 6GB RAM. I think the 128GB with 6GB RAM (eMMC 5.1) will be most popular and it surely is the one worth affirmative recommending. Battery Bought 2 years ago, it is still a smartphone that can keep up with the current models. It doesn't always have to be the latest and most expensive smartphone. I do not miss any function. The battery lasts all day (5000 mAh). It has enough memory (64 gb) for numerous apps. I have installed a lot of apps and it still works smoothly and relatively fast (4 RAM memory). If it slows down, you should run the memory cleanup and optimisation under Device Maintenance. Very good photos for the price (with 4 lenses, main camera with 48MP). With the macro camera you can shoot detailed photos. For example, I was able to photograph a bumblebee in flight to the flower and it looks like a professional. The selfie camera with 8MP is okay. The display is big enough at 6.5 inches, so I often stream videos and movies on it. Only that the display is broken after 1 fall despite armor film, annoys me (also with previous Samsung phones).
