Our Samsung Galaxy A12 shipped with Android 10, but the Android 11 update with Samsung’s One UI 3.1 is available via OTA. It should receive two years of software updates as well as a total of four years of security patches that will accompany the Galaxy A12 until late 2024 or early 2025. Our device has not received Android 12 yet, but it should be on its way shortly.

The Samsung Galaxy A12 is a low-priced phone that bucks the trend of adding quality features with mirrored backs and fingerprint magnets. The matte finish on the phone feels soft in the hand, and the large 6.5-inch display means that a good grip is a must if you want to forgo a case. The HD+ resolution on the display is big enough and clear enough to watch the latest shows. ..

The Galaxy A12 has a headphone jack, which is the best way to enjoy sound on the device. The side-mounted fingerprint reader enhances the overall look of the device.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a budget-friendly phone that has a camera array that includes a main shooter and two macro cameras. The camera app is easy to use, although it can take a moment to find the macro button as it’s hidden in the More tab.

The One UI on the Galaxy A12 is one of the best Android interfaces on the market. It is as good as ever on the Galaxy A12. The Samsung Free app in particular is something like Google’s Discover feed, only with a kick. Instead of just offering news, Samsung Free combines Samsung TV Plus, Samsung Podcasts, Taboola News, and Instant Plays in one place.
