The Samsung Galaxy A12 was announced for the Philippine market sometime late last year. The latest budget model from electronics giant Samsung is finally available in the country with a pocket-friendly price that starts at Php 7,990.
The Galaxy A12 comes with compelling specs for the price. It has a large 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display with a dewdrop notch for a modest 8MP selfie camera.
Inside, the budget phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio P35 processor. It comes in two variants, namely, a 4GB + 128GB model and a beefier 6GB + 128GB model. It also comes equipped with a large 5,000mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging.
Around the back, you have a 48MP main camera, flanked by a 5MP ultra-wide and a couple of 2MP sensors for depth and macro. Samsung also added a USB-C port and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner into the mix.
