User opinions and reviews

Got this phone on Sept. 2021 and it has been a loyal servant ever since. I can see it's become a bit laggy recently, might go for something like a nothing phone

Best selling phone of 2021 with 52 million units this A12 but soon the software support will come to an end.

What specific model of A12 are you using? Mine's A125F. It doesn't get software updates anymore (currently Android 12) except security updates recently. I heard that the A125F is getting a last security update later this year lol
