The Samsung Galaxy A12 will have a rear quad-camera array: a 5-megapixel ultra-wide lens (f/2.2), 2MP macro lens (f/2.4), a 48MP main lens (f/2.0) and a 2MP depth sensor (f/2.4). The Galaxy A12 will also have an 8MP front-facing camera (f/2.2).
The HD+, TFT display is 6.4-inches with an Infinity-V notch that dips into the screen. The Galaxy A12 is equipped with an unnamed octa-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz and 1.8GHz. However, the rumor mill speculates the chipset is the Helio P35. The tech giant is also hush-hush about the A12's Android version.
You can snag the Galaxy A12 with the following RAM options: 3GB, 4GB or 6GB. The budget phone also has three storage configurations: 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. The Galaxy A12 has a microSD card spot for storage expansion up to 1TB.
Security-minded folks will appreciate the Galaxy A12's fingerprint reader, which is located on the edge of the phone. The Galaxy A12 also comes with a 5,000 mAh battery and 15W fast charging.
The Galaxy A11 successor comes in four colors: Black, Blue, White and Red. Looking at the advertisement, the Blue model looks pretty snazzy. The Galaxy A12 is set to be released some time in early 2021.
