Our take on the Samsung Galaxy A12 Black, Unlocked

The Galaxy A12 is Samsung's entry-level phone: a 6.5-inch HD+ display, a MediaTek Helio P35 chip with 3GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery rated for up to 34 hours of talk time. Its draw is the quad rear camera led by a 16MP main sensor, plus a microSD slot that takes up to 1TB, so cheap storage goes a long way. It suits buyers who want a durable big-battery phone for calls, messaging and light apps, not gaming. Against rivals like the Redmi 9A or Moto E, it wins on Samsung's software support and camera count but loses on resolution and charging speed.
