Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho

Strengths

The phone has an impressive Exynos 850 processor, which is an 8-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU with a frequency of up to 2 GHz.
It also features a Mali-G50 MP1 GPU, which performs well and supports modern APIs like Vulkan 1.0 and OpenCL 2.0.
The phone's performance is demonstrated by its score of over 1270 points in the SLiM benchmark test and over 1400 points in the graphics test.
It also has a good thermal management system, with a temperature never exceeding 31 degrees Celsius during testing.

Weaknesses

One major drawback is the phone's inconsistent performance when running games like PUBG Mobile, which dropped to around 10-12 FPS in some tests.
The phone's Vulkan API overhead is significantly lower compared to OpenGL ES 3.0, leading to better performance and frame rates.
Some benchmarks showed an unexpected dip in performance, possibly due to a 'hole' between the two test runs.
Additionally, there were issues with V-Sync during gaming sessions, which might affect overall user experience.

Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho

The Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho is a mid-range smartphone that packs a punch with its Exynos 850 processor. This CPU boasts eight octa-core ARM Cortex-A55 cores, manufactured using an 8nm process technology and running at 2GHz. In comparison to other phones like the Nokia C20, which has a similar Octa Core setup but at 1.6 GHz, the A12 Nacho's processor is significantly more powerful. The phone also features Mali G50 MP1 GPU, which supports modern APIs like Vulkan, OpenCL, and OpenGL ES 3.0. In testing, the phone performed well in graphics-intensive apps like Slingshot, with a score of over 1270 points. The phone also handled PUBG Mobile smoothly, with no notable frame rate drops. In our review, we put the phone through various tests to evaluate its performance. The results showed that the A12 Nacho can handle demanding games and apps with ease, thanks to its powerful Exynos 850 processor and efficient Mali G50 MP1 GPU. We also observed good temperatures and battery life during our testing. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers impressive performance, making it a great option for those looking for a reliable device without breaking the bank.

Ulefone Note 12P

The Ulefone Note 12P is another iteration of the company's Note series, boasting impressive specs for its price point. The device features a massive 7,700mAh battery, a 6.82-inch display with a relatively low resolution of 720p, and a Unisoc SC9863A processor that's likely to be power-hungry. Despite its impressive battery life, the Note 12P struggles to run certain games smoothly, particularly at higher settings. The device also falls short in terms of camera quality, with poor image and video recording capabilities, as well as mono sound. The microphone picks up sound poorly, and the phone's screen is a fingerprint magnet. One redeeming aspect of the Note 12P is its ability to run on the Google Play Store, which means users can access regular security updates and other apps without any issues. However, with Xiaomi's Redmi series offering similar specs at lower price points, the Note 12P may struggle to hold its value in the long term. Overall, the Ulefone Note 12P is a basic phone that excels at providing long battery life but falls short in terms of overall performance and features. While it may be a good option for those looking for a simple device with access to Google Play Store updates, buyers should expect some compromises on camera quality, display resolution, and sound capabilities. The Note 12P's biggest weakness is its reliance on an outdated processor that consumes too much power. This results in limited performance and battery life that's not as impressive as the manufacturer claims. Despite this, the phone remains a viable option for those seeking a basic device with decent specs at an affordable price point.
