Samsung Galaxy A12 review

23 February 2021


Sort by:

Phones with these specs are fine only when matched with the corresponding pricepoint. Basically at it's current target market, this is DOA in regions where Realme and Redmi/Poco exists as also stated in the review. The phone will lag the same way with phones with P35 does but it will atleast lag with the Samsung logo on it so you pay more money for that experience.

      Slow performance, lagging
      Great battery, poor camera
      Not recommend.
      Xiaomi offers better phones
      But realme is the Best
      A12 and realme 6 almost same price

                  Theres definietely a market for budget phones and this might as well fit in. What I still dont really understand is why one would run any android phone will less than 6GB of RAM. Yes, for everyday tasks, 4GB is still "okay" but I see even my 8GB are often at their limit without doing much on my phone.
                  A true budget phone need the following (according to myself ;) ): 4000mAh, 1080p (LCD or OLED), 6" max, 720p if 5-5,5", Dual Camera (Wide and UW OR 2x tele), fast charging. The chip doesnt matter too much, though it helps the cameras, therefore anything post 845/710/675 will be fine. I dont really get why they dont use older Snapdragon chipsets in budget phones more often and why there are so freaking many budget phones out there. Why not bring 3 different models for budget? To confuse people so they blindly buy anything?

                          This phone would've been mesmerising had it comprised less arcane features among its talents.

                                      I own a m51. You buy a samsung because ...when something goes wrong they can fix your phone on every street corner. I guess this phone is just fine. Good battery life. So. What else fo you need.
