Samsung Galaxy A12 is the new offering by Samsung in its A-series. Compared to the original Galaxy A12 model, the new Galaxy A12 variant comes with Samsung's in-house Exynos 850 SoC. The other specifications of the handset remain the same as that of the original Galaxy A12 model, which means that you get a 6.5-inch PLS TFT LCD display with HD+ 720 x 1600 pixels resolution. As mentioned above, the device comes powered with Exynos 850 chipset, which is more powerful compared to the Helio G35 which is present in the earlier Galaxy A12 model. The device packs up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. For further storage expansion, the phone also has microSD card support. The imaging aspect of the handset is handled by a quad-camera setup. The rear-facing camera module consists of a 48MP primary main camera, an 5MP ultrawide camera, and a pair of 2MP depth and macro camera units. Upfront, the phone has an 8MP selfie camera. The whole package draws power from a 5000mAh battery that supports 15W fast charging. Connectivity options the handset offer include: dual-SIM card slot, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/A-GPS, NFC, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
