The Galaxy A12 succeeds the Galaxy A11 introduced back in March and brings upgrades to the camera and battery departments. The Galaxy A11 packed a 4,000 mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy A12 ships with a 5,000 mAh cell, both charging at 15W.
The A11 featured a triple camera setup on
the back comprising a 13MP primary, 5MP ultrawide, and 2MP depth sensor units.
The A12, on the other hand, retains the ultrawide and depth sensors, swaps the
13MP camera with a 48MP module, and gets a 2MP macro unit. These are arranged
in a square formation. The Galaxy A12 packs a slightly larger 6.5" HD+
Infinity-V display that has a notch for the 8MP selfie camera, which remains
unchanged from the A11.
Under the hood, the Galaxy A12 has an
octa-core processor consisting of CPU cores clocked at 2.3GHz and 1.8GHz.
Samsung doesn't say what chipset it used, but looking at the configuration it
appears the smartphone is powered by the Helio P35 SoC.
Samsung also doesn't reveal what version
of Android the Galaxy A12 boots to. The smartphone comes with 3GB, 4GB, or 6GB
RAM on board and has three storage options - 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. You also
get a microSD card slot for storage expansion by up to 1TB. The Galaxy A12
features a side-mounted fingerprint reader, comes with the Samsung Knox
security platform, and is offered in Black, Blue, White and Red colors.
The Galaxy A12 will be available from
January 2021. The 64GB variant is priced at € 179, and for € 20 more, you can get
double storage.
