Samsung Galaxy A12 - 12 Days Later!

Not too bad for a budget phone, but the ultra wide camera is distorted around the edges and has terrible colour saturation and the macro is 2MP. The 48MP sensor is ok, but samsung haven't chosen the best sensor and some images look soft and grainy. While the processor is ok for everyday use and some non demanding games, sometimes I get lag in youtube and other apps with videos like twitch. On the other hand, Samsung apparently implemented a feature which makes the apps you use on a day to day basis launch and perform a little better. In open camera, the phone can record 1080p@60 with eis. Quality and colour sucks, but hey, I'm grateful for what ny parents got me. Oh yeah, and the lack of 5ghz wifi sucks, especially since the oppo a9 2020 (around the same price) has 5ghz wifi. I'm stuck on 40mbps at best and an average of 20mbps, while every other device hits 90mbps. Overall, this is a good phone, but for people who want sharp displays with crisp colour and a camera that's not just for show, the a12 doesn't really cut it. For about 20-30 pounds more, you can get the oppo a72 with a fhd screen, 5ghz and everything else.

one of the best reviewers i ever seen amazing job man, especially for the very budget phone no many reviewers told the truth like you for samsung devices especially low a series they are great, thanks
Thank you! I'm considering this and this is very helpful, especially about the camera :)
Thanks for the reviews on A12. I've been contemplating getting this phone. Your reviews helped me make my final decision. Sold!!👍❤😊
Great review 👍 The photos and video samples looked very, very good 😃
Great to have you go over it and I think it will do the job, now I've seen this.
👌🏼Thanks for the follow up of the Samsung Galaxy A12 after 12 days. Once again an outstanding product review. Definitely a pleased subscriber. BTW love the live wallpaper of the animated "toaster". Nice touch Shane. Thanks again. 🇺🇲Stay well. Go in peace.
WOw i was quite amazed by those photos. I normally find samsung photos to be over sharpened. These looked quite nice
There are not many Reviews of this high quality on YT! 👍🏻
Realistic review with realistic expectations at current price point. We'll done.
Yes--I’ve had mine for well over a month now, and really like it.
I got this phone as a gift for new year, and all I got to say is that it's great phone! It's comfortable while writing messages, battery lasts minimum for 2 days without battery saver mode and with whole day use, it has got great camera quality and good audio quality too! I recommend this phone to everyone.
Just ordered the A12 thanks to your reviews :-)
I got one today and it's working smoothly no lags and cod mobile was playing just fine on the high settings . And the battery lasted for 14 hours 4hours gaming ,7 hours on social, media .3hours in movies . And the phone still had 20% battery left

What about heating when gaming?
The increase in maximum volume percentage-wise was definitely noticeable on the A12. With my old Samsung S7, I had to install a volume booster app just to get the desired volume that I needed. The A12 has plenty of volume to get the job done. The impressive battery life on the A12 was the biggest shocker, also. My old S7 was a battery killer no matter what energy saving measures in the phone I would use to restrict needless battery depletion.

This phone is nice and worthy of a budget. Its specs is very very amazing. But, I suggest to those who wanted to get this phone, don't forget to put casing and screen protector. I just bought it yesterday then it fell off, accidentally, not higher than 3ft then the LCD just got cracked.

Maybe better overall value if you're willing to take a hit in performance
Highly recommend this phone as a second phone, after first fully charging the phone its battery lasted a whole 14 days on standby! (without charging) With the occasional PIN unlocking and checking the settings and messages. It seems (in theory) like this phone has a larger battery than it actually has. (5,000mAh).
How looks the Video from his samsung a51?
I got mine with cricket. This model has NFC functionality. I know it's a budget phone but I just love mine.
What is the video calling like as I do quite a lot. Is it usable and clear conversation?
Hey man,i need those live wallpapers
just got mine a few weeks ago...just a question, how do we download hyperlapse on to the camera?
Hey! Love the video!! Just one question - what phone should I look into if I want to play among us, mcpe, or just use social media and watch anime?? Will the a12 be alright or should i look into another phone?? If so, which phone??❤❤
Where do you get your wallpaper for your Samsung phone
Does the A12 get FM radio? My Samsung A10e gets FM with headphones as antenna, I would buy this if it can get FM radio. I have a low budget data plan, so I prefer the old school method
Hi, this is a PHONE yet no one talks about the phone calls and receiving functionality? I have a problem in that hearing the other person is a drag because of the ear piece positioning and i find this very frustrating.
Watching this with mine :))
Love your vids bro
How do I set up the percentage for the battery at the top right corner?
Just because of you I am about to buy this other bloggers are just biased and are mostly rating the other mi phones or the chinese mobiles but I know samsung is definitely a reliable option👍 Thanks again❤
Does it have wireless charging feature
Does Pokemon GO run alright on the A12? Not expecting the best performance, but wondering if it is at least playable.

Good size screen Great battery Fast charging USBC Can't complain (under $200)
One of the biggest frustrations with modern smartphone culture is this obsession with the high-end flagships. These $1,200+ phones are great at all, but the vast majority of us will do just fine with a sub $300 phone. I need a phone to make calls, browse the web, use gps, watch KZread videos, and open the occasional work document. I don't need a phone to play call of duty. I'm leaning towards picking up an A32 as a nice balance price/performance.

Man do I agree with this comment. I just ordered the galaxy A13 and began doubting my decision because some were ripping it a part. But when I saw them use it in videos, it looked pretty good to me. Not the clearest camera ever and maybe takes like 2 extra seconds to turn on than higher end phones, and the megapixels were just too small for them. I don't care about none of that. A lot of the people reviewing these phones are tech snobs, for the average everyday person these phones are just fine. I mainly use my phone for basic things anyway, I don't need anything crazy complicated.
Great review. Just ordered this phone, planning to have it as a backup phone to my a51 when I travel . Hope you're right.
