    I bought this phone as a secondary phone cause I wanted an Android phone as my iPhone se 2020 (as with any iPhone) has country restrictions that do not allow you to shop from different markets (which is a big pitfall of all iPhones). I am now using the phone for 25 days and works fine. It's processor is not as fast as in SE so you should avoid playing heavy games. However, for lighter games and for daily routine work such as browsing the net, sending mails and even multi-tasking it works just fine. No big difference from my SE. Its camera now is way better than the camera of the SE, I guess even when you click photos with little light. When t comes to the battery it is way better than the SE battery. With regular use the battery will last you almost 2 days. In this respect the phone is good for people who are on the go! Its screen is not super but it is Okay, you can adjust it in direct sunlight. Further, connectivity is good, no problems (but it will also depend on your network signal). Finally built quality is acceptable. Go on, get this phone, if you are a working person and you need a reliable phone that will keep working professionally.

        A cheap phone with cheap features. The user experience is poor considering that the phone freezes constantly from sleep and with just 3gb of RAM, expect multitasking to be the bare minimum (OS takes 1GB). Display and battery are fine, and even the speakers and camera aren't bad. However, keep one thing in your mind, this a crappy budget phone made by Samsung that one would become frustrated with simple messaging. I got this phone as a gift, and i am immediately saving up for a reliable "smartphone" as my daily driver.

          The galaxy A12 is a terrible phone and I would not recommend anyone buys it unless you plan on only calling people and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE WITH IT.

          It started off fine, but the OS takes up a whopping 10 Gb out of your starting 32 Gb.
          And not only that, but it seems for every kilobyte of data you download the processing capability plummets at an exponentially faster rate, quickly making the phone a nightmare to operate.

          My wife and I each got one and our phones are so laggy it would be more appropriate to call it a 1966 Apollo program potato. The phone runs out of RAM so quickly, resulting in you not being able to run anything fast. Loading times to even just load up the Google search bar gets to be upwards of 5 seconds.

          This phone is borderline unusable, it is a thoroughly frustrating experience that makes one consider just taking a rock and beating the thing just to show it a small percentage of the anguish this phone has caused us.

          In conclusion, I could only recommend you buy this phone if you are incredibly desperate for a phone, but to spoiled to get a non smart phone (like myself), or if you're a masochist and want daily non stop mental anguish.

                  Very close to useless for Internet work.. Keeps losing connection even when within 1 metre of router.. No problems with other devices on the router..

                  Can only see 2 other Internet connections ( neighbours houses) other phone can see up to a dozen..

                  Will never consider Samsung again..

                    ag545, 24 Nov 2021Like what other brands for instance. Give us examples pleaseXiaomi, Realme, even Motorola: Poco M3, Redmi note 10, Realme 7, Moto G9 etc. All of these phones compete at around the same price or even cheaper than this A12 but offer more power.

                    Even GSMArena said:
                    "If you're on a limited budget, is it really all that important what badge is on the back of your phone? Opting for one of the competitors will likely get you a superior overall package, and you might even save a little"

                      I have a Galaxy A12. The phone is actually a nice phone for its price. However, the only issue I have with it is the camera quality and the phone is slow, even the charger is slow but at least it have a really strong battery.

                      If you don't care about the photo quality, then I recommend to buy it if you don't have that much of money. I think the rest of the phone is good though.

                              I have one been using it had no issues with it works great for the price and to those trashing the phone if you expected flagship at cheap look somewhere else the camera isn't bad but isn't good screen is big, finger print censor is fast face id isn't anywhere near great. For apps like instagram, facebook, and those stuff run without a problem it can take light gaming it has a big battery so can't complain.

                                Samsung, please launch a 5G version! The A12 looks much better than Samsung's G5 phones.

                                      Its good except for one, that is it has problems on signing in (Especially in games). It will always say "Please sign in to the store" or in messenger "Please sign in" (well, its something like that). So yeah, it's an inconvenient matter.

                                        Does the blue color look similar to the Electric Blue on the Galaxy S5?
