Design and Display
In terms of design, the Samsung Galaxy A12 differs from its predecessor. One of those smartphones with an altogether new design that might appeal to aficionados who were particularly happy with the Samsung Galaxy A11’s design
Four cameras are housed in a square camera module on the back of the Galaxy A12. An LED flash is located beneath the module. The Samsung marking, which shows the phone is a Samsung, is located far down on the back.
We have an IPS screen up front that is 6.5 inches in size, somewhat larger than the 6.4-inch screens on the Galaxy A11 and Galaxy A22. The resolution of this display is the same as that of the A11 at 720 by 1600. Its dimension is comparable to that of the less expensive Samsung Galaxy A02s, nevertheless.
Customers who decide to buy the Samsung Galaxy A12 will have a choice of four colors: Black, White, Red, and Blue.
The Cameras
One of the biggest improvements over the Samsung Galaxy A11 is the camera. The significant improvements made by Samsung are likely to appeal to fans who owned the A11 as well as enthusiasts looking for smartphones in this price range.
In contrast to the triple camera system on the Galaxy A11, we have a quad-rear camera system with higher-res cameras.
The back camera system consists of a 48MP primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture, a 5MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro camera, a 2MP depth camera, and a 5MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture.
Moving forward, we have an 8MP front camera with an f/2.2 aperture. This camera can be used to take and record movies of selfies.
Hardware and Software
Like with the Samsung Galaxy A11, Samsung didn’t really provide much information on the processor used in the Galaxy A12, but we do know that it is an Octa-core Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 (12nm) processor made up of two quad-core processors clocked at 2.35 GHz and 1.8 GHz, respectively.
Additionally, the Galaxy A12 provides three triple RAM options: 3GB, 4GB, and 6GB. Users will be able to choose between 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of storage. This equipment is powered by a non-removable 5000mAh battery.
The Galaxy A12’s user interface is built on top of the Android 10 operating system on the software side. With One UI 3.1, the smartphone may be upgraded to Android 11.
Connectivity
A USB Type-C port, Bluetooth, WiFi, and a 3.5mm headphone jack are all included in the Samsung Galaxy A12.
