What I like about GSMarena, is that they review all kinds of phones, not just the most expensive and impressive. Because not everyone wants to spend 1K+ on a phone.
What I like about the a12 is that it does everything I need without the cost of a higher end samsung. I especially like the feature of being able to replicate my current phones set-up when I go to a new Samsung. I use my phone in a salt-water environment so they don't last long. Because of this there is little advantage in buying an expensive phone. The A12 is ideal
Got mine last week and I am pretty pleased of what it has offered for a midrange device. Although it doesn't have night mode, I quite love the cameras.
@@hazelstreet1654 The phone glitches mate,like for example the phone sometimes doesn't work,not allowing me to move anything or interact even when I'm pressing plus sometimes because of that the restart button doesn't work so I've been forced to use the backup power off button which you need to hold down the volume and off button(if anyone is having the same problem as me)why do I have a problem with this when I can just restart,well IT DOESN'T FUCKIN HELP WHEN YOUR PLAYING A COMPETITIVE GAME,AM I RIGHT? The performance is also bad like it's DOGSHIET compared to A10,if your a guy who uses his phone everyday because of covid I HEAVILY SUGGEST YOU DON'T BUY THIS PHONE AND JUST SAVE UP FOR THE OTHER ONES. Plus it doesn't have smart view,oh how is it bad? Well most smart view apps in the play store have subscriptions where you need to pay 24 dollars a week,now count how many money are you spending in a month,in short it's just garbage.
Got my A12 phone during pandemic Dec 2020 and still using it now, working as if it's new. It does the job well for text messages, captures okay photos, answers emails, music etc. I'm not a gamer so this phone just meet my needs.
@@victorkreig6089 I'm currently on a 5'8 inch screen with my samsung s8 It's wonderful and an ideal size👌🏻😉. It's mesmerizing how stunning this phone is still compared to all this new junk coming out lately. Looks better than any of the samsung s20 or s21's. However. Yes 6.3 is my max. I don't need a tablet😂😭
got this from AT&T as a "free" phone. I'm pretty happy with it. Okay camera, long battery life, and thats all I really car about. Every year the latest and greatest phones come out with astronomical prices only to objectively be a tad bit better. I'd rather keep my money in my pocket and buy something convenient. It ain't the best but I can't complain, it has it where I need it. If you are like me and just do some light media, take a few pictures and open a few applications then this phone is more than enough. This phone will suffice for the majority of people.
@@finnesor291 yeah. That phone is absolutely trash. Kept it for a few months and had to replace it. Was so glitchy it was barely operable. Waste of time
I've had this phone for about five months now and my biggest complaint is the camera quality. I had the cheaper j7 crown before this and it took higher quality pictures and had better audio. It's done pretty well with the games especially racing. It freezes up every so often with the puzzles.
I actually love it. The big screen and the battery life is a winner for me! Also not to mention the fast speed when using using it. All round I would say its great for the price 👍
Been 2 years since i got this phone,i can tell this phone still pretty holds up if you aint a gamer or a content creator. The battery still amazing 🔥🔥🔥
I have this phone. An Indian version (6RAM/128storage) given to me. Its decent for everyday casual use - just don't stretch it to the limits. If you're going to buy this phone, install a tempered glass designed for it and buy a Nillkin case. Its one of the best case brands for supported smartphones. I use a Nillkin case on my Redmi phone so I recommend it.
I recently brought one of these like last month. Sure games have their issues sometimes due to the actual servers but tbh even the ps4 and gaming pcs do this. Despite the claims of it being incredibly laggy I have had seldom no issues except the fact my Internet enjoys going from brilliant to absolutely awful even with fiber optic. Over all its a stylish, fast, well designed phone with a legit decent camera and it plays games pretty well for the best part and games I usually play. Its notnthe best phone out there but not even remotely close to being a bad. Overall from my experience of it getting me through day to day life 9/10. If you want aa hard-core best there is to buy experience i advise getting a high end pc rig which inalso have for intense gaming and multi taking. For its price you can't actually complain I've brought previous phones in the £300-400 realm which have been awful.
I just got it last week and it for the price Is better than I expected. I have my xbox for games. And the pics are pretty good fr. And I use headphones to listen to music. So it's way more than enough

Who could have thought that this little budget phone is the most popular Android smartphone of 2021. It really does speak huge volume about average consumers in general.
Gracias for your great review I just found a phone like this for sale and I just need it for my mother to use it with WiFi only in mexico I also hunting on an iPhone 11 for the same purpose I sent her a Samsung tablet and somebody broke the screen and now she wants a device more personal so she will be the only person who will use it…That’s why I trust always your opinion and reviews…Gracias!!!👋😊👋
My a12 AT&T version comes with a 16mp f1.7 main shooter. I love it. F stop above mp always. My only complaint is the screen collects finger smudges like no other, and they are also harder to remove too.
1:15 I dont think people that spend a bit over $100 on a phone care that they see pixels 😅. Probably this phone is better anyway than watever they had in the past
Screen actually looks good on the a12 if you see it personally..checked one out for my mom, got the a21s as it looks better imho, but being honest screen goes to the a12 as that pls lcd screen got good details..atleast the a12 does does not have annoying built in ads like other chinese brands that is irritating af!
It is one of the best phones to have. It is powerful enough to do anything you need phone to do and more and the price tag is really low comparing to the top shelf phones which offers nothing more than samsung galaxy a12 offers. I this phone for around a year and would not change it for any othe phone.
Switched carriers and needed to get a new phone. This was it. Bought on price not really having any idea what I was getting . Had a Galaxy Notes 8, which I got just because of the stylus. Did not even use most of the features. Not going to spend that kind of money again. The A12 has all the basics I need - basically need a phone, text, limited searching, and limited Facebook. Some photos. For more heavy duty stuff I have a computer and a small compact camera that are much more convenient. That's my situation, obviously would not apply to everyone else.
The phone seems great for the first couple months or so of owning it, but like most other sub-models of the Galaxy series, it slows down really badly with age. Don't consider purchasing this one if you enjoy smartphones; as in a year or so the processor speed and screen response will be significantly slower
Had mine for 7 months now. This phone is fucking trash. It lags and so bad and it has so much apps that take up space and slow the phone down and you can't delete them. I regret buying this phone. It sucks so bad. Was great when new but it has almost become unusable by now and I'm not pushing this phone at all. I've hardly installed any apps. Just buy a more expensive phone.
@@hichemegnima2921 yes exactly, the last software update essentially killed the phone so I went and got an iPhone 13. Not buying a cheap turd ever again. I learned my lesson.
There is no LED. What can I do to get a flashing notification for a missed call? I like to be able to see I1ve had a missed call without having to pick up the phone
...you forgot to talk about if the back of the phone, can the battery come out & be replaced, that's good to know. Because if the battery dies the phone dies, HATE thoses non-removeable batteries, that should be the first thing to mention in every phone video
I bought an A12 a couple of months ago. I finally got around to installing a couple of "stargazing" apps (Sky Walk and Stellarium) recently. Neither one would work because they both said "no compass detected." I looked in Settings and couldn't find anything about a compass. I downloaded a compass app. The compass app said, "No compass will work with your phone because it doesn't have a magnetic sensor." Thanks, Samsung. I kind of knew I should have bought another LG phone, but the T-Mobile store is apparently hyping Samsung these days and I got one. I'll switch to another brand in a few months, but I'll do a bit more homework before I do.
Thanks for the comment. I want to use my phone for "stargazing" but now I know the A 12 is not going to work on it. Thanks again. I'm using a Motorola phone now.
Congrats for the great channel, you make the best short description of smarthphones, and i literally know everything i need to know to make my buying decision.Thanx, for the very proffesional approach. Keep going.
If it had had full hd plus and at least a Helio G80 or G85 would have been able to compete with Xiaomi, poco or realme in its range, and its price does not help it.
I had an A10, and I got damaged. So I'm being sent an A12. Can you do a password lock. I don't like the fingerprint thing being so easy for people to open it.
@@kingsleymichael7533 oh i see, that phone is Just okay, if you don't want Chinese smartphone it's worth, have good battery, average cameras, mediocre performance
I just got my galaxy A12. The phone is a huge upgrade for me as my previous samsung phone i got way back in December 2017. The screen is super clear compsred to my last one. My previous Samsung phone was a galaxy S8. I am not too picky about phones that are Samsung phones.
Thank you for the review. I have had two a40s and both died on me with the same problem. What phone would you suggest so that I get "more bang for my buck" please? I only use phone for light internet , youtube, whatsapp. calls texts etc. Thank you
Good review but it is difficult to review reliability without using the phone for a year or two. I will trust Samsung reliability until they disappoint me. Good so far.
Congrats on your purchase guys, your years of suffering begin. In the first year the phone works completely fine, in the second its okay ish as in acceptable. But till the third year battery becomes dog doodoo due to this i have to put it on ultra power saving mode which makes it last only about 3 hrs, display is not that good and photos really bad. Nothing exceptional in this phone, oh not to mention for the photo to be good they need to have spot on lighting so good luck
@@Nyx-dd7tx Hey I got it for free of my uncle as he got new phone, it's in perfect condition, but it's only 3ram is that enough? What's the highest SD memory card can it hold?
One thing I notice - not that you see it too often in general, but - why is always the cheap/cheaper phones and/or MP3/Audio devices are the ones that have FM/Radio support but not the higher end ones?? lol
Stick with Motorola devices for a good budget smartphone if you live in the states. They all have Qualcomm processors and typically have bigger batteries as well
If the specs are right. I'm getting double the performance compared to my Galaxy Mega 2 which I'm upgrading from. Edit: TIL the A12 i bought is not compatible with the 5G network, but there is an "A12 5G" that is currently being advertised, which is compatible... I was tricked, well played t-mobile, well played.
Talking about pixel density and gaming performance not being great. For me this thing literally felt like the future when I switched to it from my dying S5 Neo I had for six years. I don't really use my phone much, I have a computer for proper gaming etc. Being able to play GTA Vice City on a phone still blows my mind. I've been super happy with the A12, I bought it fully knowing it's a budget device but it has more power and space that I know what to do with. I don't even know what more you could possibly need from a phone.
Despite not blowing your mind in terms of features when compare to its price range compititors the galaxy A12 is a professionally solid smartphone for daily use hense it has a great battery life , large screen, decent one ui software and an average level quad camera setup for enough photography with a durable sylish snashy textured hardware component
BTW, I bought it for IDR 2 million (around USD 135) in February 2023... got the 6gb ram makes this phone more than enough for everyday use. When I checked the OS it was Android 11, because most of those who reviewed it said it started with Android 10, so I had doubts whether the smartphone was really new and if the sealed box was real or I was tricked by the online vendor. It turns out there are 2 versions, one using Mediatek chipset and one using Exynos chipset! I might got the Exynos one. Got notification said that there was an update and got it updated to Android 13 with One UI 5.1 and there is still a security update too for March 2023... Nice 👍🏾!
there is a reward program in new Zealand where they had a compaction and i won 1000 and 2x 50 points and with the 20% points off they had on all items i was able to get this phone for free good review cant wait to get it in the post

But till the third year battery becomes dog doodoo due to this i have to put it on ultra power saving mode which makes it last only about 3 hrs, display is not that good and photos really bad. Nothing exceptional in this phone, oh not to mention for the photo to be good they need to have spot on lighting so good luck
But i have a 1 question how many RAM the Samsung A12 has?
3GB/4GB/6GB I think
@@Nyx-dd7tx Hey I got it for free of my uncle as he got new phone, it's in perfect condition, but it's only 3ram is that enough? What's the highest SD memory card can it hold?
One thing I notice - not that you see it too often in general, but - why is always the cheap/cheaper phones and/or MP3/Audio devices are the ones that have FM/Radio support but not the higher end ones?? lol
I always wondered too
They're too good for it 🤣
Would you recommend an a21s with 3gb ram and 32gb storage or the a12 with 4gb ram and 64gb storage
The bigger the better
Bruh im going through the same situation,but im taking the a12
Which phone are u choosing?
Just go bye big pp number and call it a day. That's what most people especially Xiaomi users do.
@@FaizKTG *buy
so it dosnt have 48 mp camera ?
What is the car game you play on the phone ???
Stick with Motorola devices for a good budget smartphone if you live in the states. They all have Qualcomm processors and typically have bigger batteries as well
Facts! I had the Moto g fast before o upgraded to the A71 5g. That g fast was the best budget phone I've owned.
Hey, your test footage was filmed in BG 😊 You've been found out! 😜
If the specs are right. I'm getting double the performance compared to my Galaxy Mega 2 which I'm upgrading from.
Edit: TIL the A12 i bought is not compatible with the 5G network, but there is an "A12 5G" that is currently being advertised, which is compatible... I was tricked, well played t-mobile, well played.
As someone with the S21 5G with T-Mobile, it's not worth the hype. At least not in its current implementation.
can you tell me Where is a12 smart view setting ?
What is better
Mai new phone liye sem,pr mera phone ka aavaj Aadha cut ke Ja RHA h ek do sim bhi change kiya phir problem please advise
A new update came out. But I heard it destroyed s20 and note 20 plus samsung phones.
I wonder if it's safe for A12
The a12 is an amazing phone with a good battery have had it for a year and half and absolutely no problems at all lol
Thanks for this video ,Niall from Ireland 🇮🇪
This is a huge upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy Amp2 😊
I have a Samsung S7 would I be better upgrading to an A12 or an S20, just dont wanna pay a fortune🤖
Does it have a screen record feature?
No it doesn't has that feature
How much four Samsung Galaxy A 12 last frs
Talking about pixel density and gaming performance not being great. For me this thing literally felt like the future when I switched to it from my dying S5 Neo I had for six years.
I don't really use my phone much, I have a computer for proper gaming etc. Being able to play GTA Vice City on a phone still blows my mind. I've been super happy with the A12, I bought it fully knowing it's a budget device but it has more power and space that I know what to do with. I don't even know what more you could possibly need from a phone.
Despite not blowing your mind in terms of features when compare to its price range compititors the galaxy A12 is a professionally solid smartphone for daily use hense it has a great battery life , large screen, decent one ui software and an average level quad camera setup for enough photography with a durable sylish snashy textured hardware component
What were the other phone brands he talked about? Never heard of any of them!
XIAOMI and REDMI phones. Google it.
straight forward unbiased review.
How is sound quality?
BTW, I bought it for IDR 2 million (around USD 135) in February 2023... got the 6gb ram makes this phone more than enough for everyday use. When I checked the OS it was Android 11, because most of those who reviewed it said it started with Android 10, so I had doubts whether the smartphone was really new and if the sealed box was real or I was tricked by the online vendor. It turns out there are 2 versions, one using Mediatek chipset and one using Exynos chipset! I might got the Exynos one. Got notification said that there was an update and got it updated to Android 13 with One UI 5.1 and there is still a security update too for March 2023... Nice 👍🏾!
Just got the phone and watched the video with it... looks perfect for me except for the low resolution.
Looks too low for me.
Just bought amA12 but can’t get it to scan QR code’s can you help.

I have this phone now and I'm upgrading to an iPhone 13 tomorrow.

Thank you for that clear and concise review on the a12.
Galaxy A12 it's nice phone different with others phone ,software settings not on the screen but it's nice phone
My phone gets really hot close to the camera, anyone else has the same problem?
You should review how it opens important apps like Banking or google maps or how fast you can call.
You didnt tested all that..
Got 1 today. Not bad. Impressed with the camera and response. The colors are not great and you can tell it's not a 180p phone.
Can't beat the price got mine $35.00 total including shipping ..
Great battery life.
Waa? Did it "fall off a truck"?
Wow it's less than 25 percent what it costs here.
