Samsung Galaxy M12

The Samsung Galaxy M12 is an entry-level smartphone with a starting price of Rs. 11,000. It boasts a 90Hz display, a massive 6,000mAh battery, and a true 48-megapixel camera. The phone also features an 8-nanometer Exynos 850 chipset, making it one of the first phones in its segment to do so. The device has a plastic back with a quad-camera setup, which provides a nostalgic design with a textured pattern for better grip. However, the build quality is not great, and the phone's thickness makes it difficult to use with one hand. The power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor, which is faster and more reliable than in-display sensors. The 6.5-inch LCD display offers smooth scrolling experiences when not occupied by intense processes. However, the refresh rate drops to 60Hz during such instances, making it less seamless. The display's peak brightness of 400 nits may also struggle with outdoor usage in bright sunlight. In terms of performance, the phone's Exynos 850 chipset is designed for power efficiency rather than raw speed. While gaming and multitasking are decent, regular tasks take some time to process. The phone runs on Android 11 with One UI Core 3.1, which has limited features due to hardware constraints. The camera setup includes a quad-camera configuration with an 8-megapixel front camera. Samples show that the primary camera produces better results than the ultra-wide lens, but both have their strengths and weaknesses. The phone also supports macro shots and basic video recording capabilities. Overall, the Galaxy M12 offers a smooth display experience, battery efficiency, and decent camera performance in its price segment.

Samsung Galaxy A22 4G

The Samsung Galaxy A22 4G is a solid budget smartphone that offers a lot for its price. The device features an AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which provides a smooth and vibrant visual experience. However, the lower resolution of the display might be a drawback for some users. In terms of performance, the A22 is powered by a quad-camera setup, including a 48MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP macro sensor, and 2MP depth sensor. The camera capabilities are impressive, with great low-light performance, night mode shots that rival those taken in broad daylight, and a punchy color tone. The added OIS feature also helps to minimize shaky footage. Battery life is another strong point of the A22, with a massive 5,000mAh battery that can last up to two days on a single charge. However, charging speeds are limited to 15W, which takes around two hours to fully charge the device from zero percent. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A22 4G is a great affordable smartphone option for those looking for a reliable device with good camera capabilities and long battery life. While it may not offer the latest features or top-of-the-line specs, it's a solid choice for budget-conscious buyers who want a good all-around experience.
