@@CrisCheese_ who said u already have wireless buds and cloud storage if u r a flagshipuser. More like that's what they expect or should I say WANT u to have
Love my A12, the battery lasts for days, dont have to top up daily like my old one. Everything works quickly and simple in the usual Samsung way. Took me a little used to the fingerprint sensor as never used one before, but now I am its great. Big Android update few days ago to. For a non phone gamer its a fantastic phone and price.
@@TheHrt5 I doubt anyone could tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen this small. I remember when the Google Nexus 4 came out and everyone raved over the 720p screen now for some reason we seem to think 720p is no longer acceptable like our eyes have overnight developed sharper vision. 720p is more than good enough for a phone screen.
@@mdluk199 to me I prefer the higher res screen. I have the redmi note 9s and the screen is a nice 1080p 6.67 inch LCD screen. While yes 720p isn’t the worse, it’s an overstatement to say that is more than good enough. I can tell the difference and I like 1080p better.
My belief with phones is simple, I require phones for on the go and my contacts and work, but outside of that I don't depend on my phone for anything really when indoors except phone calls, I use tablets and my pc for everything indoors. So I've never really wanted a massively expensive phone, just one that does the basics and won't burn a hole in my pocket, so I've stuck to affordable contracts with samsung phones.
Yeah true expecially with cheap phones like this like this is $89.99 to $100 in stores and this is the perfect price expecially for when you need a phone that isn’t to expensive but is fast enough and good enough to do things on and this is perfect because will be buying it once I have the money so I can actually stay in contact with my parents and friends and keep up with messages with friends on Snapchat when I’m out and about
My Samsung Galaxy a01 just got a major update and I can now view TH-cam videos in 1080p and the camera is updated as well. This is crazy 🤯. I'm so happy.
Got my phone just a bit ago and hadn't yet learned that it had a fingerprint sensor. Worth watching this video just for that. Thanks. It's much more comfortable than mashing the power button every time.
@@allfacts19 is good, is clear enought, for me, idk about for you, like i said, everybody has different negs and pos about it, i do like it, is good for me, and im also a little picky too😁
Currently 3 weeks with my phone, I'm happy with my A12. Been using my Asus zenfone max for 5 years, 2gb ram and 16gb internal storage, the A12 is a fcking huge thing for me. It's not perfect or as smooth as an iphone (my sister owns the latest version and I've used it a couple times. It really has a different user experience) but it does all the necessary job you need for daily activities. Not a huge gamer so I'm not sure in that department. But as a budget phone, using the 4/128gb is as fast as the flagship ones. My personal nitpick is just the camera. The front cam tends to have a beautification filter, even if its turned off.
Thank you for this review! I just bought this phone and this is my VERY FIRST SMART PHONE! I never ever wanted to buy a smart, phone, I LOVE my old fashion flip-phone. However, because I am going away on a 3 and half month tour, and I'll be away from home that long, I felt I would need a smart phone while I am on the road. When I pick it up at the store, I will need training on how to use a smart phone, because I have never had one before. I think this phone is PERFECT for me!
I know this is an old video, but I still enjoy watching them and picking up a little bit of knowledge here and there. My sister has this phone and other than a little bit of Facebook. She really just uses it to make calls and text for which this phone is still perfect. In fact, most people walking around with iPhones and series Samsung are carrying them around for status or just personal pleasure but I think the A2 is probably the perfect phone for at least 50% of the people out there. I mean, taking pictures of the kids at the ball game and the backyard picnic this is fine for the basic stuff. Today, most people, send a photograph via text and then it is deleted shortly there after. It amazes me how many people buy thousand dollar phones and then don’t use the features that make those phones desirable? Once again it was very enjoyable to watch this video, you have a friend in Columbus, Ohio!
Had this phone for 2 weeks and it works perfect for me. I was thinking about getting the s21 ultra bc of the camera and battery. But in good lightning I am impressed with the a12 camera. The battery is as big as the ultra. The screen is also good enough for me. Super fast and good phone gaming is not necessary for me, but it is not thst slow either Also love the big screen though gripable phone. Not to big phone
I’m a student… as long as I can use it when I travel to university and can play Pokemon Go on it then I’m happy. Also the nfc reader is a nice addition, means i can scan and upload my own Nintendo amiibo. I’m thinking about getting one
I have been using this for half a dozen months now. For me the +ve's are 1. Battery 2. Camera 3. In hand feel 4. One UI 5. THE KNOX AND THE SENSORS. The -ve's are 1. Weight(205g) 2. Heating issues. 3. Screen to body ratio. 4. Processor (Mediatek Helio P35) 5 . Screen to body ratio with the watermark selfie camera. Got it for ₹14,999 ($195-$200) Only for 1st timers and only who want basics.
@CekajuciSadaku Loud Bottom firing single speaker Processor is 12 NM based so it is not all that power efficient. The camera output is 12 MP. WITH 2.0 APERTURE. SO the images are not good and Sharp but dull. Choose wisely. Cheers 🇮🇳
Thank you for taking the time to review this phone. I have been looking for a cheap but reliable device and did have my eye on this A12. You have answered my questions and I now feel confident that this phone is just what I'm looking for. Thanks for the video
I bought mine. And for under 200$ I love it. No problems so far. Nice sized screen, Battery last forever seems like, got a really nice phone case so it's well protected. And camera is pretty nice. No complaints from me
Almost 3 years of using this, it's time for an upgrade lol. It's very laggy now. When I swipe up, I need to do it multiple times and then it exists the app.
@@davidanalyst671 it is 48 megapixel but is set to 12 mega pixel. The reason your S8 takes better photos is that phone camera was optimized and a flagship
How are you liking it? I just ordered it and I'm coming from galaxy A20 only cuz I got the galaxy buds plus and they were cutting in and out using the A20
@@caramelgoddess89 I'm loving it. Got a good memory, good quality pics games and movies are brilliant. I am coming from a J3(6) tho. So most upgrades are better than that phone these days.😂
Got the 128 GB version in white and I love it. Big upgrade from my previous 32 gb, and for one im not mad at the camera. As for my personal review, you get what you pay for. This was the first phone I ever paid for myself and as a broke highschool kid saving up for college, you really want to spend the least amount of money, while still getting a functional phone. With the currency conversion I only paid 190 dollars for it brand new, which is a huge bargain for what you get. As for the battery, its pretty durable, lasting me about a day and a half on end, which is great considering I need to spend a lot of time on my phone for online courses and classes. Camera isnt as bad as many think, as for every phone I've gotten before, the back camera is always better than the front. Front facing camera has some noise issues, but in proper lighting it goes away. I am a video editor, and I dont mind the video capturing quality. I have a seperate third-party program for video editing including stabilisation, so its not a big issue if the phone doesn't have have that by default. Phone is pretty fast, and I havent experienced any freezing or shutting down which used to be a problem on my old device. I actually prefer plastic phones over glass, considering I carry my device everywhere, and tend to drop it 😅 As for the fingerprint sensor I'm in love. My previous phone (J6) had the sensor engraved onto the back of the phone, which was so unconventional, and took me so long to unlock. I cannot provide my input on gaming, because I rarely ever play. It also does have the Android 11, once you software update the device Overall I like the look of the phone, and I think for what it's worth, the Samsung Galaxy A12 is a great option EDIT: So I'm back, almost a year later, with an updated review on the phone, to let yall know how its been over the year. My review is pretty much the same, HOWEVER one thing that has been bugging me is that the phone has gotten a bit slower. Typing this comment now isn't as fast as I typed it last year, which can get annoying. The video quality also declined quite a bit, and videos have gotten unusually sharp, way sharper than it should be. Other than that its the same as it was, especially battery life.
@@akali8680 I have the blue version which is really beautiful, I would've chosen red but unfortunately I can't get it in New Zealand 😔 Honestly though I would say choose either blue or white, or if you can find one, get the red model
My sister has this phone and it is the perfect phone for her as she very seldom ever takes a photograph and simply uses it for communications and social media. For a lot of people who’ve never owned a flagship phone and will never know the difference. This phone is really pretty special as it does everything they need which gives them a lot of pleasure. Someone like me who now owns the iPhone 15 Pro Max would be horrified to have to use one or really any of the budget phones but they do have their place and they make it possible for people, who don’t necessarily have deep pockets to still have a device that serves their needs and gives them a little room to have some fun. Your video was right on point and very fun and interesting to listen to. You have a friend in Columbus, Ohio :-)!
I just bought this phone for work since I am working remotely and it has been pretty good. Of course I had clear expectations and it has definitely surpass my expectations.
Tell me what your battery % is right now (don't lie) 👇🏻 ------------------ Samsung Galaxy A12 on Amazon: geni.us/ynfFk Cheaper A12 on Amazon: geni.us/jMBHH
@@GameoftheYear-fx4mq I realized I cant cope without an Amoled Screen to produce the power saving "Always On Display " feature when im not wearing my Samsung Watch. No 'Applock' or 'Secure Folder' to which all the above exists on my J7 Pro. Thats what I get for rushing into the deal I got. Not blown away with the Camera and/or features. Good battery and fast charge though. Plan to move to Samsung A32 as soon as my finances permit. 😳
@@mike.n4 dang. Yeah I was just curious, I'm not looking for a phone but I like to see which ones may be good to get a few years later when I'll need to change.
I went to the store the other day looking for this phone cause my coworker just got it, I absolutely loved the fingerprint reader on the power button. That's what drew me in. But they didn't have the phone in stocks, so I got the a53
This is a concerning trend for the galaxy A lineup. So first to go we’re the premium build materials. My old A8(2018) had a glass back, a metal frame and to top it off an IP 68 water resistance rating. I was fine when Samsung went all plastic in 2019 just so they can make the things cheaper, but then they introduced those crappy 720p lcd’s which slowly started creeping their way up the lineup overtime. Instead of them bringing new things to the A series of phones they seem to have just nerfed it this year. It’s real sad because I have been using Samsung mid rangers for 7 years now and they are really good. To sum it up subject yourself to the A02/A02s only if you don’t have the money for anything else. The A12 is fine generally good value. The A32 is gonna be a disaster when it comes out. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT. Either go up to the A42 yeah I know still 720p but at the very least it’s oled, or buy the A12 or the A22 cause if you’re gonna subject yourself to the 720p lcd you might as well be saving money. The A52 is gonna be the phone to buy. Because it still covers the original promises of the A series ( at least in my opinion). A cheap phone with a good screen and decent internals to match. Yeah the things are laggy but they won’t be samsungs without it.
Dunno sure finding new offering's over the past several months quite underwhelming, this extends across all ranges of devices from budget to flagships. Making "old" new again seems to be a trend like reinstating the water drop notch (A12 vs A11), reducing display resolutions (G Power (2021), S21 & S21+), increasing display sizes while keeping same res, or as is the case of G Power (2021), increasing whilst reducing. Since purchasing my 2020 Moto G's last year there hasn't been a single device since that has sparked my interest w/most getting a resounding "meh" now, that's sad if you ask me.
Right now I have an A7 (2018). Its really good. On some games it starts to lag, but as it's 3 years older than the A12, which will be my next phone, I hope that the performance will be better. Should arrive this week!
Samsung’s has to cut corners somewhere. I mean with the low end processor they need good ram and storage to help the phone not be a total mess. Also helps with the phones performance. I mean to be competitive you need to actually create a good phone for the price and a good phone in general. With a higher resolution screen performance would be worse.
the A12 is great! a get back on your feet low end budget phone..needed a phone..didnt have a phone..didnt have a lots of funds at the time..perfect situation..lots of specs for low funds..of course its big brother is the mid range A32 5G, thats my next great budget phone from samsung..thank you and have blessed and favored moments.
My father a12 isn’t worth it anymore, no matter how many times I try to boost its speed, it lags a ton, even closing apps and moving storage to an SD card doesn’t work, I’m helping him move on
Just stopped using this phone , switched to the iphone 12. After a year and a half of using that phone all i can say IT WAS GARBAGE if ur a heavy user do not buy this phone, dont get me wrong the battery life is amazinggg but the camera, the screen and the lag does not make it any better then that. If u are getting a samsung/android just go for the more premium a series phones or a galaxy phone.
Same i had that phone and it was more a phone for kids or for grandparents and i wanted a phone to be better for gaming and to also be samsung so i got the Samsung A34 the processor its okay its just a midrange but its still better than the A54 aand the rest its just like the A54 instead of model and camera and if i got an S20Fe It wouldnt have gotten any android uppdates or security updates since the last update was 2 years ago and the S21 in my country its just way more expensive than the A34
IPhone 12 price 🗿 Samsung 12 price🐵 .😂😂😂 are you OK what are you expect in this price. I know realme c25s offers midateck 85g in same price. Buy dont forget Samsung is a brand.
@@beatspoposome people don't buy their own phone? Like my mom got me the galaxy a12 back in 22ish (I still have it, it's my only phone) and I'm a heavy user. It's still fine? Ig? I'm sure a heck save to buy myself a refurbished galaxy s22 tho
My 1st smartphone was a$150 Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime . Have a s8 now. Differences s8 has more memory and junk(advanced features) I never use. These A series phones look way better than the grand prime was. Good to know don't have to go into debt to have a decent phone nowadays. I'd definitely look at the A12, A22, A52 & A72 b4 spending $ on a S series.
I just got this phone yesterday from Amazon and I LOVE it so much, it does exactly what I need it to do and I love the blue color, the color is so beautiful and pretty 🤩, I 100% recommend this!
My current phone just randomly gave up today and I'm really just looking for something cheap that I can just download a few apps and watch youtube videos so this seems like a good option. Thanks for the review!
I was still using an s8 until I watched this review and went to the mall yesterday yesterday get an A12, but they were all out of stock so i ended up getting an A52 5G at an amazing black Friday price! Love the phone
I have the a12 but sometimes the screen doesn't respond to my finger and when I try to download an app it takes waaaaay too much time like it would load 2% in like 2 minutes. But thanks for the review...
The purchased the A12 yesterday and ended up taking it back to the T-Mobile store. Even though the battery was the best that I've ever seen the screen had a white haze screen when I was watching TH-cam for long periods of time. My Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime has a 5'' HD 720p screen which is perfect for viewing videos for me.
thanks ... . just upgraded my A6 to A12 . I don't play games - just a basic user so I feel happier about my decision having watched your helpful vid .. thank you
Got the Samsung A12 brand new in Canada via Roger/Fido. Always bought Samsung budget phones and never had an issue. The A12 though... I'll never buy Samsung phones again. What a joke. We got multiple new ones and they're terrible. I work in tech as a software dev. I've never come across such a laggy, crashing, POS, ever. BEWARE. ps. Emptied phone, tried many tricks etc, in some instances there was a small improvement for a bit but didn't last long. My A8 out performs it easily.
I thought I was the only one. I can't believe they're allowed to sell a phone like that in this day and age bruh it makes no sense! Had mine for 4 months and it just got worse and worse daily, to the point where the entire phone would crash if I tried to take a picture. Samsung should be ashamed of this bulky Scooby Doo ass phonr
@@aLeLiBiV - Yup, crashes on pictures or has like a 10 second delay. One of the many issues with that terrible phone. Hopefully we'll never have an emergency and have to count on the phone acting proper and/or quick.
I do like using this phone at the hospital .. using only whatsapp .. browsing .. youtube .. calling .. reading E books ... while im working .. what i do like about it is the battery life .. really helps me a lot .. no need to recharge the phone when i'm on call for 2 days at the hospital .. good review .
I just got a Galaxy a12...its water resistant..splashproof they call it...I love this phone..itsca bit smaller than my Alcatel V3 (2018) but still a cool phone
Hello Sir!! I'm using Samsung Galaxy A12.. I really like it because of its bigger storage, bigger RAM and bigger battery life for affordable price.. and can handle some heavy games.. but.. this month, I received an updated so I download it then install it on my phone.. After 5-10 minutes, it looks OK at startup (just little lag).. But when I go to the Camera App, Rear Camera is OK but when I switch it to front camera, it lags then the error message appears.. It said, "Warning! Camera failed.." then the Camera App stops working.. I tried anything to fix it but nothing works.. I decided to post a forum on Samsung Members app about this problem.. The next day, I got a bunch of comments that they have the same problem on the same device.. Some they tried to reset the phone but nothing works.. The only front camera works is to go to Instagram then switch to Stories.. I tried to avoid switching to rear camera while the front camera is working fine.. That's all.. Since you have that Samsung Galaxy A12, have you experienced the same problem after the update? Thank you!! (Sorry my English is not very good..)
Should be fine for me. It's 10 months after you posted this review, and I _cannot_ find the A12 with the 4G/64G option. But again, should be fine. Thanks for your review. This will be my first smart phone, and I feel much more confident about getting this, now.
Thank you for these reviews...! I watched the A12, A21, and A20 reviews because they are mostly what I'm looking at. My main interest is in photo quality. My old Samsung camera (just one lens) never seems to take true-color pictures (they always need post enhancement). Do you have a preference for this issue from these 3 models?
I would say they all take good pictures and have great battery. Major issues I've ran into with the a20& 21 was screen freezing then screen stuck black. Most of the time you have to do a hard reset to fix. This is a major internal problem with those models and seem to happen after updates.
Well, for those of us seniors who were privileged to go from a 4 party landline to a 2 party landline or *WOW* a "private" line, this phone is a dream-come-true. Great factual review by a young someone who has been using it for several months, but who has never known life without a cell phone. I remember hearing as a young teenager that the day would come when we would all carry a phone with us and have a personal phone number so that people could reach us 24/7. I remember thinking, "Yeah, sure...ha,ha!" So, the little flaws that you point out are not really flaws at all. Who cares if it takes a split second more for something to download? When did we become such an snobby society that we had to have the cream of the crop and spend another $500-$1000 every time a newer model comes out?? Just be thankful you have a phone. And, when did "gaming" become such a major time-consuming piece of life? Read a book instead, and just be grateful to be living in a free country. The reviewer was careful to point out that this was a more than adequate phone (obviously for seniors and other "low-tech" people). I just did not care for the judgmental inflections in his voice that pointed out what he considered to be disappointing features of the phone. It was sort of like "Eeeewwww...there are only 5,000,000,000 gigs of this or that as opposed to the A126,800 model that can fly you to Japan in 1.2 seconds." Puhlease...This world needs to get a grip on reality!
what about pubg mobile/cod mobile/wild rift on low graphics?...will it still lag?...i dont mind the average graphics..as long as it doesnt crash or lag
I have been considering this phone for some time as an upgrade. Im nota phone buff by any means. This video helped me decide to go and grab myself 1. Thankyou
I think this will be a very nice step up from my J1 (2016) which has been excellent for what I use a phone for and only cost AUD$145 ..., absolute bargain! I notice the A12 is another $100 here in Australia though so not cheap, cheap, cheap but still very affordable. 😊
Very affordable for a student like me! My old J7's buttons don't function anymore and I'm in need of an upgrade, hopefully this phone lasts longer than 4 years
I was waiting so long for one of your videos to ask you a question, do you have information on when they present us with the new Galaxy A52 and A72? I'm waiting a lot for you, that's all, Greetings from Tucumán, Argentina🇦🇷❤️
if anybody at all reads, this phone is now a nightmare for me. i guess its understandable considering how old and cheap it is. will be getting a refurbished one in a week.
My A12 Meets all of my needs im a light gaming person the only heavy gaming I do is roblox and my phone struggles to run some roblox games but it can run most games at a suprising 5+ graphics bar (if you rember to clear your ram) One thing you have to do with this phone that may get annoying is that you have to clear the ram every so while Or the phone will slow down Majorly But that takes literally about 10 seconds of your day to speed it back up! This phone is a 9/10 For me The reason it’s not a 10/10 Is because the navigation bar buttons may glitch from time to time But it is no where near frequent
I have both ...honestly ..there is not much difference..for me it's about the camera ...samsung are lagging in the options.. but I'm happy with the sympicity of the Samsung phones to- apple to small and complicated for me .( not tec minded ) ...not a gamer so shopping and you tube is my thing and they both do fine jobs ..
Edit - UPDATE: I bought it a week ago. Loving it so far, great performance and amazing battery! Original: This was a brilliant review, thank you. I'm buying a new phone today and was dead set on the A12, but this has given me some pause. It's so hard to decide on the specs to prioritise when buying a 'budget' smartphone. Long battery life is very important to me but so is responsiveness!
This is now the 3rd or 4th phone I've seen going _backwards_ to 720p from their older counterparts, and I think I'm starting to understand... it all makes sense now. A quick google search shows Phone companies are throttling data more these days, they're making it so you can't get 1080p content by wireless even if you wanted it, so if people are forced into using lower pixel density screens, then they wont whine and complain that their experience is getting nerfed. Take away the choice in the hopes that people will take what they're given and like it.
this phone is utter garbage. my grandfather has it and it freezes and lags more than my 6 year old iphone. i mean my god samsung? it glitches and freezes when he tries to go home almost every time. battery is great! thanks to it’s completely underpowered chip…
Yup, I have this as a work phone. Our company gave me this crappy thing and even compared to my S10 plus from 2019, it's slow and laggy! It just about does the job
I have a special sent to me and I'm not an apple fan. This is the only Samsung choice I have which is why I came here. I want to know about pictures. I take a lot of pictures and use Instagram alot. How are the pictures and having lots of screenshots?
Nice review thats helpful. Could you add performance for video conferencing like zoom next time for budget phone review. Apparently it seems the chip like mediatek, used for mid range phones aren't great for video conferencing apps like zoom. This is from experience. Thanks.
Good, clear review, and commensurate with other reviewers. I had a Samsung Galaxy 9 on a plan. Costing me a fortune on a Pension. The fingerprint option stopped working early on, and I've been using 5 tap code entry - grrr!!! When it got smashed recently, my daughter got me a Samsung A12 NO PLAN! Can start buying clothes again. LOVE the quick entry. All the basics for what I need. Would like louder sound, but everything else enough for my use on a budget.
Hello , I got my samsung A12 in few days and I wanted to do this review for people who are interested to buy it . I think the phone is good in generall, you get what you paid for . It's not a super phone but it's good for the price , camera is good . From 1 to 10 I am 7 happy with it . And I got a UK version . I think A32 must be better considering in the price . I got my samsung A12 64 GB blue color for 190$ with discount . I hope this review helps . And about battery life I charge the phone 1 time or 2 time per day . It has a good battery life but not as much excellent that some people say .
@@barrymichaels2663 all honestly yes I do personally, its one of the best phones I've had so far, only issue I've had so far would be certain apps not utilizing the best camera options the phone provides.
@@barrymichaels2663 personally In my opinion for the price and how it functions for that price its worth it, I enjoy it and it hasn't caused me much headache through my use, pretty sure I've had it for over a month now
@ElectroEto I can say that 3 months later I dropped it in water. Despite having seen multiple test where the phone was submerged and still worked despite not being water resistant it broke so I got a replacement through the warranty and now have the Samsung galaxy s20 FE 5G and this is probably the best phone I've ever had.
getting this phone for my 13th birthday on the 14th, i'll share my experience and will be free to answer any questions once i get it. update: GODDDD this is such a good phone, it's big (that's what she said) and fast.
The A12 Is $99 on Boost right now. Considering getting It. I have the Moto G Fast and want to go back to Samsung. I want the A22 but If It doesn't come out soon on Boost I'ma need to get this phone. Or the A51.
It would've been so much better if Samsung just adapted Infinity-O centre hole punch cutout on all their devices from the lowest end to the most premium devices cuz at least that has an impact in terms of viewing experience and actuallt gives their device the impression of the lesser bezel instead of an antiquated V shaped or even U shaped notch that they still use despite of other manufacturers effort to abolish it on their own phones in following Samsung's original footstep of holepunch camera cutout. Also being able to add 4 fingerprints just like on their previous and current flagship phones would've been so much better instead of just 3 fingerprints. And the use of IPS/TFT LCD is such a shame when they could've used AMOLED (even with 720p resolution) just like their older lower midrange phones like the A20, A30, A30s would've been gladly appreciated since they're the ones who makes their own displays I don't think it'll really cost them that much to add an OLED panels even to their lower end phones. Other than that A12 is a nice second phone but I honestly wouldn't consider it to be my primary daily driver.
Dear TechDaily, watched your review this evening, 12/23/2022 and placed an order at 7:30 this evening with HSN for their Tracfone Sam. Gal. A12 bundle, 1500 minutes & 1 year of service. I was put to another operator after placing the order, to purchase the additional protection plan. My wife asked if there were any problems with Tracfone honoring the 1500 minutes. This person (God bless him/her, I don't want to get the person fired for being honest) said he/she had five complaints about that; saying it wasn't a problem wit HSN, but with Tracfone. Something else that was mentioned indicated that other HSN reps fielded similar complaints. I then checked costumer reviews, and noted many complaints about the phone not coming with the "brick" wall charger, and also not coming with a cable for the charger. I canceled the order due to the above problems. While HSN bundles are a very good deal, which include a year service and 1500 minutes plus 1500 minutes of text, if Tracfone is not honoring those minutes, then my wife would be stuck with a phone and have to find a carrier other than Tracfone. Most of them are all about 3 times more expensive per month than Tracfone. Any comments you have on this, I would appreciate hearing. Many thanks for the review.

Love my A12, the battery lasts for days, dont have to top up daily like my old one. Everything works quickly and simple in the usual Samsung way. Took me a little used to the fingerprint sensor as never used one before, but now I am its great. Big Android update few days ago to. For a non phone gamer its a fantastic phone and price.
@@TheHrt5 I doubt anyone could tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen this small. I remember when the Google Nexus 4 came out and everyone raved over the 720p screen now for some reason we seem to think 720p is no longer acceptable like our eyes have overnight developed sharper vision. 720p is more than good enough for a phone screen.
@@TheHrt5 There's more to a screen than resolution. 720p is fine with me.
@RageShorts dude has clearly never used a bad phone.
@@mdluk199 to me I prefer the higher res screen. I have the redmi note 9s and the screen is a nice 1080p 6.67 inch LCD screen. While yes 720p isn’t the worse, it’s an overstatement to say that is more than good enough. I can tell the difference and I like 1080p better.
LOVE the fingerprint sensor. Great security.
My belief with phones is simple, I require phones for on the go and my contacts and work, but outside of that I don't depend on my phone for anything really when indoors except phone calls, I use tablets and my pc for everything indoors. So I've never really wanted a massively expensive phone, just one that does the basics and won't burn a hole in my pocket, so I've stuck to affordable contracts with samsung phones.
Wow

Bluetooth music and hopefully a little Pokémon Go.
BIG BRAIN Move
Yeah true expecially with cheap phones like this like this is $89.99 to $100 in stores and this is the perfect price expecially for when you need a phone that isn’t to expensive but is fast enough and good enough to do things on and this is perfect because will be buying it once I have the money so I can actually stay in contact with my parents and friends and keep up with messages with friends on Snapchat when I’m out and about
It looks better than the glossy Phones. That's why I like it.
Who cares about the feel of the phone nowadays everyone gets phone cases now
True
I do alot
I dont' really care, because I use cases, but this phone is as slippery as oil in my hands. the phone exterior is a fail
Same here. And my case was under 10$ with a screen protector and kickstand/ finger hole thing. And the screen protector is glass like
I care. I ditched case and after one year, I really don't need it.
My Samsung Galaxy a01 just got a major update and I can now view TH-cam videos in 1080p and the camera is updated as well. This is crazy 🤯. I'm so happy.
Same
My A10e got that option too but I can't see the difference between 720p and 1080p video wise

Got my phone just a bit ago and hadn't yet learned that it had a fingerprint sensor. Worth watching this video just for that. Thanks. It's much more comfortable than mashing the power button every time.

Currently 3 weeks with my phone, I'm happy with my A12. Been using my Asus zenfone max for 5 years, 2gb ram and 16gb internal storage, the A12 is a fcking huge thing for me. It's not perfect or as smooth as an iphone (my sister owns the latest version and I've used it a couple times. It really has a different user experience) but it does all the necessary job you need for daily activities. Not a huge gamer so I'm not sure in that department. But as a budget phone, using the 4/128gb is as fast as the flagship ones.
My personal nitpick is just the camera. The front cam tends to have a beautification filter, even if its turned off.
Does it have Front Flash and Split Screen ?

I know this is an old video, but I still enjoy watching them and picking up a little bit of knowledge here and there. My sister has this phone and other than a little bit of Facebook. She really just uses it to make calls and text for which this phone is still perfect. In fact, most people walking around with iPhones and series Samsung are carrying them around for status or just personal pleasure but I think the A2 is probably the perfect phone for at least 50% of the people out there. I mean, taking pictures of the kids at the ball game and the backyard picnic this is fine for the basic stuff. Today, most people, send a photograph via text and then it is deleted shortly there after. It amazes me how many people buy thousand dollar phones and then don’t use the features that make those phones desirable? Once again it was very enjoyable to watch this video, you have a friend in Columbus, Ohio!
Had this phone for 2 weeks and it works perfect for me. I was thinking about getting the s21 ultra bc of the camera and battery. But in good lightning I am impressed with the a12 camera. The battery is as big as the ultra. The screen is also good enough for me. Super fast and good phone gaming is not necessary for me, but it is not thst slow either
Also love the big screen though gripable phone. Not to big phone

As for my personal review, you get what you pay for. This was the first phone I ever paid for myself and as a broke highschool kid saving up for college, you really want to spend the least amount of money, while still getting a functional phone. With the currency conversion I only paid 190 dollars for it brand new, which is a huge bargain for what you get.
As for the battery, its pretty durable, lasting me about a day and a half on end, which is great considering I need to spend a lot of time on my phone for online courses and classes.
Camera isnt as bad as many think, as for every phone I've gotten before, the back camera is always better than the front. Front facing camera has some noise issues, but in proper lighting it goes away. I am a video editor, and I dont mind the video capturing quality. I have a seperate third-party program for video editing including stabilisation, so its not a big issue if the phone doesn't have have that by default.
Phone is pretty fast, and I havent experienced any freezing or shutting down which used to be a problem on my old device.
I actually prefer plastic phones over glass, considering I carry my device everywhere, and tend to drop it 😅
As for the fingerprint sensor I'm in love. My previous phone (J6) had the sensor engraved onto the back of the phone, which was so unconventional, and took me so long to unlock.
I cannot provide my input on gaming, because I rarely ever play.
It also does have the Android 11, once you software update the device
Overall I like the look of the phone, and I think for what it's worth, the Samsung Galaxy A12 is a great option
EDIT:
So I'm back, almost a year later, with an updated review on the phone, to let yall know how its been over the year.
My review is pretty much the same, HOWEVER one thing that has been bugging me is that the phone has gotten a bit slower. Typing this comment now isn't as fast as I typed it last year, which can get annoying. The video quality also declined quite a bit, and videos have gotten unusually sharp, way sharper than it should be.
Other than that its the same as it was, especially battery life.
Do you experience any bugs after the android update

My sister has this phone and it is the perfect phone for her as she very seldom ever takes a photograph and simply uses it for communications and social media. For a lot of people who’ve never owned a flagship phone and will never know the difference. This phone is really pretty special as it does everything they need which gives them a lot of pleasure. Someone like me who now owns the iPhone 15 Pro Max would be horrified to have to use one or really any of the budget phones but they do have their place and they make it possible for people, who don’t necessarily have deep pockets to still have a device that serves their needs and gives them a little room to have some fun. Your video was right on point and very fun and interesting to listen to. You have a friend in Columbus, Ohio :-)!

I like how this is in my recommendations on my newly bought A12...
This is a concerning trend for the galaxy A lineup. So first to go we’re the premium build materials. My old A8(2018) had a glass back, a metal frame and to top it off an IP 68 water resistance rating. I was fine when Samsung went all plastic in 2019 just so they can make the things cheaper, but then they introduced those crappy 720p lcd’s which slowly started creeping their way up the lineup overtime. Instead of them bringing new things to the A series of phones they seem to have just nerfed it this year. It’s real sad because I have been using Samsung mid rangers for 7 years now and they are really good. To sum it up subject yourself to the A02/A02s only if you don’t have the money for anything else. The A12 is fine generally good value. The A32 is gonna be a disaster when it comes out. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT. Either go up to the A42 yeah I know still 720p but at the very least it’s oled, or buy the A12 or the A22 cause if you’re gonna subject yourself to the 720p lcd you might as well be saving money. The A52 is gonna be the phone to buy. Because it still covers the original promises of the A series ( at least in my opinion). A cheap phone with a good screen and decent internals to match. Yeah the things are laggy but they won’t be samsungs without it.
It’s a budget phone as long as u close your apps like me it’s honestly perfect
ive been using it for three years and it still works perfect!
Dunno sure finding new offering's over the past several months quite underwhelming, this extends across all ranges of devices from budget to flagships. Making "old" new again seems to be a trend like reinstating the water drop notch (A12 vs A11), reducing display resolutions (G Power (2021), S21 & S21+), increasing display sizes while keeping same res, or as is the case of G Power (2021), increasing whilst reducing. Since purchasing my 2020 Moto G's last year there hasn't been a single device since that has sparked my interest w/most getting a resounding "meh" now, that's sad if you ask me.
Right now I have an A7 (2018). Its really good. On some games it starts to lag, but as it's 3 years older than the A12, which will be my next phone, I hope that the performance will be better. Should arrive this week!
I have a feeling there might be a 1080p display shortage. There are various other tech items in short supply for the last while.
Samsung’s has to cut corners somewhere. I mean with the low end processor they need good ram and storage to help the phone not be a total mess. Also helps with the phones performance. I mean to be competitive you need to actually create a good phone for the price and a good phone in general. With a higher resolution screen performance would be worse.
I mean the screen is still decent, big, and doesn’t have a giant bezel or chin.
I switched back over to Androids. Best decision I have made in my life
Im sorry but the LG Stylo 6 is trash as I have one myself.

Hello Sir!! I'm using Samsung Galaxy A12.. I really like it because of its bigger storage, bigger RAM and bigger battery life for affordable price.. and can handle some heavy games.. but.. this month, I received an updated so I download it then install it on my phone.. After 5-10 minutes, it looks OK at startup (just little lag).. But when I go to the Camera App, Rear Camera is OK but when I switch it to front camera, it lags then the error message appears.. It said, "Warning! Camera failed.." then the Camera App stops working..
I tried anything to fix it but nothing works.. I decided to post a forum on Samsung Members app about this problem.. The next day, I got a bunch of comments that they have the same problem on the same device.. Some they tried to reset the phone but nothing works.. The only front camera works is to go to Instagram then switch to Stories.. I tried to avoid switching to rear camera while the front camera is working fine.. That's all..
Since you have that Samsung Galaxy A12, have you experienced the same problem after the update?
Thank you!!
(Sorry my English is not very good..)

Should be fine for me. It's 10 months after you posted this review, and I _cannot_ find the A12 with the 4G/64G option. But again, should be fine. Thanks for your review. This will be my first smart phone, and I feel much more confident about getting this, now.
Thank you for these reviews...! I watched the A12, A21, and A20 reviews because they are mostly what I'm looking at. My main interest is in photo quality. My old Samsung camera (just one lens) never seems to take true-color pictures (they always need post enhancement). Do you have a preference for this issue from these 3 models?
I would say they all take good pictures and have great battery. Major issues I've ran into with the a20& 21 was screen freezing then screen stuck black. Most of the time you have to do a hard reset to fix. This is a major internal problem with those models and seem to happen after updates.
Well, for those of us seniors who were privileged to go from a 4 party landline to a 2 party landline or *WOW* a "private" line, this phone is a dream-come-true. Great factual review by a young someone who has been using it for several months, but who has never known life without a cell phone. I remember hearing as a young teenager that the day would come when we would all carry a phone with us and have a personal phone number so that people could reach us 24/7. I remember thinking, "Yeah, sure...ha,ha!" So, the little flaws that you point out are not really flaws at all. Who cares if it takes a split second more for something to download? When did we become such an snobby society that we had to have the cream of the crop and spend another $500-$1000 every time a newer model comes out?? Just be thankful you have a phone. And, when did "gaming" become such a major time-consuming piece of life? Read a book instead, and just be grateful to be living in a free country. The reviewer was careful to point out that this was a more than adequate phone (obviously for seniors and other "low-tech" people). I just did not care for the judgmental inflections in his voice that pointed out what he considered to be disappointing features of the phone. It was sort of like "Eeeewwww...there are only 5,000,000,000 gigs of this or that as opposed to the A126,800 model that can fly you to Japan in 1.2 seconds." Puhlease...This world needs to get a grip on reality!
I'm still using the Samsung j6 2018 model so I'm guessing that if I go for the A12 will be a vast improvement.
Im on j2 prime. Yeah, the 2016 one...

I have been considering this phone for some time as an upgrade. Im nota phone buff by any means. This video helped me decide to go and grab myself 1. Thankyou
I think this will be a very nice step up from my J1 (2016) which has been excellent for what I use a phone for and only cost AUD$145 ..., absolute bargain! I notice the A12 is another $100 here in Australia though so not cheap, cheap, cheap but still very affordable. 😊
I think the a range is a massive upgrade. J is terrible. The screen is very dark. Everything is super slow
G’day I am a bit late, but this is my next phone and I’m looking at the office works deal with has 50 gig sim
Very affordable for a student like me! My old J7's buttons don't function anymore and I'm in need of an upgrade, hopefully this phone lasts longer than 4 years
I was waiting so long for one of your videos to ask you a question, do you have information on when they present us with the new Galaxy A52 and A72? I'm waiting a lot for you, that's all, Greetings from Tucumán, Argentina🇦🇷❤️
¡Buenos Dias!
if anybody at all reads, this phone is now a nightmare for me. i guess its understandable considering how old and cheap it is. will be getting a refurbished one in a week.
Got this for free on a family plan, no one wanted it so I’m gonna use it to play RuneScape.
My A12 Meets all of my needs im a light gaming person the only heavy gaming I do is roblox and my phone struggles to run some roblox games but it can run most games at a suprising 5+ graphics bar (if you rember to clear your ram) One thing you have to do with this phone that may get annoying is that you have to clear the ram every so while Or the phone will slow down Majorly But that takes literally about 10 seconds of your day to speed it back up! This phone is a 9/10 For me The reason it’s not a 10/10 Is because the navigation bar buttons may glitch from time to time But it is no where near frequent
Please do a comparison of Samsung A21s and Samsung A12.
Anyway thanks for making us a great content Mr. Wade of Tech Daily♥️👌
I have both ...honestly ..there is not much difference..for me it's about the camera ...samsung are lagging in the options.. but I'm happy with the sympicity of the Samsung phones to- apple to small and complicated for me .( not tec minded ) ...not a gamer so shopping and you tube is my thing and they both do fine jobs ..
Just sold my A21s to Buy this reason for selling my A21s got screen retention after 7 months of using it
@@tracyj1117 , is the colors of the display in the phone okay? Is it color accurate for you?
I tried connecting my airpods with the A12 but it keeps asking for a pin number. Enter 0000 as requested but still doesn't let me ok it.
Edit - UPDATE: I bought it a week ago. Loving it so far, great performance and amazing battery!
Original: This was a brilliant review, thank you. I'm buying a new phone today and was dead set on the A12, but this has given me some pause. It's so hard to decide on the specs to prioritise when buying a 'budget' smartphone. Long battery life is very important to me but so is responsiveness!
What about the camera ?
@@lindadib4286 it's good :3
What bout for twitch or youtube or netflix whats battery like
@@itskellyward I have the phone too, I would say that its good enough for these
@@abdullahal-sharif8640 its not Netflix and TH-cam is very poor
This is now the 3rd or 4th phone I've seen going _backwards_ to 720p from their older counterparts, and I think I'm starting to understand... it all makes sense now. A quick google search shows Phone companies are throttling data more these days, they're making it so you can't get 1080p content by wireless even if you wanted it, so if people are forced into using lower pixel density screens, then they wont whine and complain that their experience is getting nerfed. Take away the choice in the hopes that people will take what they're given and like it.
this phone is utter garbage. my grandfather has it and it freezes and lags more than my 6 year old iphone. i mean my god samsung? it glitches and freezes when he tries to go home almost every time. battery is great! thanks to it’s completely underpowered chip…
One year late but flagship will always beat budget
Yup, I have this as a work phone. Our company gave me this crappy thing and even compared to my S10 plus from 2019, it's slow and laggy!
It just about does the job
I have a special sent to me and I'm not an apple fan. This is the only Samsung choice I have which is why I came here. I want to know about pictures. I take a lot of pictures and use Instagram alot. How are the pictures and having lots of screenshots?
This was really helpful, thanks !!
I just bought this phone for my mum for Christmas, it's definitely gonna be fun teaching her how to use it 😂
Do you use an iPhone?
Love your videos so much ngl
I got this phone and going from a 6 year old phone that was VERY slow this is great
Nice review thats helpful. Could you add performance for video conferencing like zoom next time for budget phone review. Apparently it seems the chip like mediatek, used for mid range phones aren't great for video conferencing apps like zoom. This is from experience. Thanks.
I got one coming on the 15th and the only game i really play, is candy crush. The basics is all i need. Great video TechDailey
Good, clear review, and commensurate with other reviewers. I had a Samsung Galaxy 9 on a plan. Costing me a
fortune on a Pension. The fingerprint option stopped working early on, and I've been using 5 tap code entry - grrr!!!
When it got smashed recently, my daughter got me a Samsung A12 NO PLAN! Can start buying clothes again.
LOVE the quick entry. All the basics for what I need. Would like louder sound, but everything else enough for
my use on a budget.
Hello , I got my samsung A12 in few days and I wanted to do this review for people who are interested to buy it . I think the phone is good in generall, you get what you paid for . It's not a super phone but it's good for the price , camera is good . From 1 to 10 I am 7 happy with it . And I got a UK version . I think A32 must be better considering in the price . I got my samsung A12 64 GB blue color for 190$ with discount . I hope this review helps . And about battery life I charge the phone 1 time or 2 time per day . It has a good battery life but not as much excellent that some people say .
To be honest this thing works faster and more clean than any phone I've had before.
You happy with it then mate?
@@barrymichaels2663 all honestly yes I do personally, its one of the best phones I've had so far, only issue I've had so far would be certain apps not utilizing the best camera options the phone provides.
@@thebosscannon1444 thank you mate. I am considering definitely getting one.
@@barrymichaels2663 personally In my opinion for the price and how it functions for that price its worth it, I enjoy it and it hasn't caused me much headache through my use, pretty sure I've had it for over a month now
@ElectroEto I can say that 3 months later I dropped it in water. Despite having seen multiple test where the phone was submerged and still worked despite not being water resistant it broke so I got a replacement through the warranty and now have the Samsung galaxy s20 FE 5G and this is probably the best phone I've ever had.
Dose the back of the phone feel cheap ? Like the material it's made from ?
Got it this today and it's amazing im in love with it!!
Me 2 want to buy it
@@wg4225 i hope youre gonna buy it as soon as possible its perfect
@@jennilawareah3974 Im thinking of either getting this one,the A02s or the A11 which do u recommend
@@kaylamukahadzi7275 don't get the A11, screens not even as good as my old S7 Active.
For what I need, its a good all around device. Thanks for the info.
Wow good looking phone . Anyways were do you get your wallpaper it's so beautiful
Stock mine came with it.
Where@@alexgall8785
getting this phone for my 13th birthday on the 14th, i'll share my experience and will be free to answer any questions once i get it.
update: GODDDD this is such a good phone, it's big (that's what she said) and fast.
The A12 Is $99 on Boost right now. Considering getting It. I have the Moto G Fast and want to go back to Samsung. I want the A22 but If It doesn't come out soon on Boost I'ma need to get this phone. Or the A51.
Watching this with my A-12 a great device for my needs.
It would've been so much better if Samsung just adapted Infinity-O centre hole punch cutout on all their devices from the lowest end to the most premium devices cuz at least that has an impact in terms of viewing experience and actuallt gives their device the impression of the lesser bezel instead of an antiquated V shaped or even U shaped notch that they still use despite of other manufacturers effort to abolish it on their own phones in following Samsung's original footstep of holepunch camera cutout. Also being able to add 4 fingerprints just like on their previous and current flagship phones would've been so much better instead of just 3 fingerprints. And the use of IPS/TFT LCD is such a shame when they could've used AMOLED (even with 720p resolution) just like their older lower midrange phones like the A20, A30, A30s would've been gladly appreciated since they're the ones who makes their own displays I don't think it'll really cost them that much to add an OLED panels even to their lower end phones. Other than that A12 is a nice second phone but I honestly wouldn't consider it to be my primary daily driver.
Dear TechDaily, watched your review this evening, 12/23/2022 and placed an order at 7:30 this evening with HSN for their Tracfone Sam. Gal. A12 bundle, 1500 minutes & 1 year of service. I was put to another operator after placing the order, to purchase the additional protection plan. My wife asked if there were any problems with Tracfone honoring the 1500 minutes. This person (God bless him/her, I don't want to get the person fired for being honest) said he/she had five complaints about that; saying it wasn't a problem wit HSN, but with Tracfone. Something else that was mentioned indicated that other HSN reps fielded similar complaints. I then checked costumer reviews, and noted many complaints about the phone not coming with the "brick" wall charger, and also not coming with a cable for the charger. I canceled the order due to the above problems. While HSN bundles are a very good deal, which include a year service and 1500 minutes plus 1500 minutes of text, if Tracfone is not honoring those minutes, then my wife would be stuck with a phone and have to find a carrier other than Tracfone. Most of them are all about 3 times more expensive per month than Tracfone. Any comments you have on this, I would appreciate hearing. Many thanks for the review.
