Samsung Galaxy F12

The Samsung Galaxy F12 is a new budget smartphone that starts from ₹10,999. It boasts a unique textured back with a wave-like pattern, setting it apart from other smartphones in its price range. The device features a 6.5-inch HD+ 90Hz LCD display, which provides punchy colors and a sharp viewing experience. The rear camera setup consists of a 48MP primary sensor, 5MP ultra-wide sensor, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro sensor, offering versatility in capturing various scenes. However, there's no video stabilization, and video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps. The phone runs on the Exynos 850 chipset with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, providing a smooth performance. It also features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C port, and a headphone jack. The device ships with Android 11 and One UI Core 3.1, which is expected to receive updates for a longer period. The Galaxy F12's battery is a 6000mAh unit that should provide a long-lasting experience. However, it only supports 15W charging, which takes around three hours to fully charge the device. Despite this, the phone's pricing seems competitive, and Samsung has done a decent job of packing in features without breaking the bank. Overall, the Galaxy F12 appears to be another solid addition to Samsung's lineup of budget smartphones, offering a feature-rich experience at an affordable price point.
