After being unveiled way back in November last year, the Galaxy A12 is finally coming to India. As per a recent report, this should have actually already happened this week. Since that didn't transpire, we can only assume that the phone will appear on shelves in the county any day now.
An alleged specs sheet for the local
variant of the Galaxy A12 has now surfaced, hinting further at an imminent
release. If the leaked table is to be believed, Samsung won't really be
altering the hardware on the Galaxy A12 at all. The only notable detail being
that the Indian version will only be available with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB
or 128GB of storage. A theory further backed-up by the official India support
page for the handset, which also recently went up.
Whereas internationally, the Galaxy A12
can also be had in a 3GB/32GB variant and a 6GB/128GB one. The source also adds
that the Indian Galaxy A12 will be sold in Blue, White and Black colors, which
does leave out the Red one. Other than that, the Galaxy A12 still packs a
6.5" HD+, Infinity-V, IPS display, MediaTek Helio P35 chipset and is
powered by a big 5,000 mAh battery, with 15W charging via Type-C. The camera
setup includes a 48MP main snapper on the back, alongside a 5MP ultrawide, 2MP
depth and 2MP macro units and 8MP on the front. There is also a side-mounted
fingerprint reader added to the mix.
We still don't have any official info on
pricing and availability, but the particular leakster of this info does offer
what seems like a very plausible guess - INR 12,999 or right around US$ 180. It
will also be quite interesting to see if Samsung decides to wait and release
the Galaxy A12 alongside the Galaxy F62, which is currently slated for a
mid-February unveiling.
