Samsung Galaxy A12 - Smartphone 128GB, 4GB RAM, Dual Sim, Blue

Product Information

Much of that is down to the outstanding things other manufacturers are doing on a budget, but Samsung’s entry-level handsets have been able to hold their own in the past. It’s hard not to pin the disappointment entirely on the MediaTek Helios MT6765. Exynos and Qualcomm handsets never felt this sluggish.

Now focusing on the display of the Samsung Galaxy A12, the same comes with a big and bright 6.5 inches TFT display panel. TFT is a type of LCD flat panel display screen in which each pixel is controlled by one to four transistors. The TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most expensive. Yeah so no AMOLED display on the Galaxy A12 dear reader, maybe have a look at other phones in case this is a dealbreaker? Although it really shouldn’t be. We see a rather low 720 x 1560 pixels resolution with 264 PPI density. We’re thinking a compromise had to be made. The other thing that might appear unusual is that dewdrop instead of a hole punch which has now become accustomed to Samsung phones. Android 10 (upgradable to Android 11) Samsung Galaxy A12 128GB price in Pakistan starts at Rs. 27,500. This is for the base variant that comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.The Galaxy A12 comes with a 6.5in PLS display (basically Samsung’s IPS-like panel) with a resolution of 720 x 1,600, giving you approximately 264 pixels per inch. And while this may be some way short of Full HD experiences that you can get for the price, even with the large panel it looks perfectly sharp in day-to-day use. The Galaxy A12 is outfitted with a massive 5,000 mAh battery that lasts around a full day with daily use. It doesn't support wireless charging, but with wired fast charging it fills up in around 2 hours when depleted. The most underwhelming aspect of the phone is its MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35 processor. Unfortunately, combined with the entry-level configuration that features 3GB of RAM, the phone can get stuttery even with relatively demanding applications. Of course, one shouldn't expect a high level of performance from a cheap smartphone like this, but it should be noted regardless. Although for simple daily tasks it's acceptable. Cameras Network : The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. Estimated against the usage profile of an average/typical user. Independently assessed by Strategy Analytics between 2021.12.08–12.20 in USA and UK with pre-release versions of SM-S901, SM-S906, SM-S908 under default setting using 5G Sub6 networks (NOT tested under 5G mmWave network). Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors.

The 8MP (f/2.2) front-facing camera is good enough for selfies and video calls. By default, it has ‘beautification’ options enabled (centre) which are more subtle than some, but can be turned off completely (left) or maxed out (right). As ever, max out at your own risk, because to me the results look anything but natural. User Available Memory: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the device features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the operator and may change after software upgrades are performed Basically, the delay between pressing the shutter button and a picture being taken means that anything that’s prone to any kind of sudden movements – think birds, babies, cats or dogs – will almost inevitably be a blurry mess by the time the phone finishes capturing the image. It’s here in spades. RAM and internal memory capacity may vary by country. Actual storage available may vary depending on pre-installed software. The network capacity and data transfer speed may be reduced while dual SIM cards are used at the same time.
