    My belief with phones is simple, I require phones for on the go and my contacts and work, but outside of that I don't depend on my phone for anything really when indoors except phone calls, I use tablets and my pc for everything indoors. So I've never really wanted a massively expensive phone, just one that does the basics and won't burn a hole in my pocket, so I've stuck to affordable contracts with samsung phones.

    And i don't like the gyroscope keeps giving me problems when my phone flips sideways i haven't found a setting to change this yet.
    Haven't had time to check out if you can remove the battery or not yet I'm guessing probably not since they have changed that for most of them over the year's.
    I used to love that feature in older model's it was so easy to fix screen freeze with that.
    Any recommendations for camera options to get the best picture's

    Currently 3 weeks with my phone, I'm happy with my A12. Been using my Asus zenfone max for 5 years, 2gb ram and 16gb internal storage, the A12 is a fcking huge thing for me. It's not perfect or as smooth as an iphone (my sister owns the latest version and I've used it a couple times. It really has a different user experience) but it does all the necessary job you need for daily activities. Not a huge gamer so I'm not sure in that department. But as a budget phone, using the 4/128gb is as fast as the flagship ones.
    My personal nitpick is just the camera. The front cam tends to have a beautification filter, even if its turned off.

    Dunno sure finding new offering's over the past several months quite underwhelming, this extends across all ranges of devices from budget to flagships. Making "old" new again seems to be a trend like reinstating the water drop notch (A12 vs A11), reducing display resolutions (G Power (2021), S21 & S21+), increasing display sizes while keeping same res, or as is the case of G Power (2021), increasing whilst reducing. Since purchasing my 2020 Moto G's last year there hasn't been a single device since that has sparked my interest w/most getting a resounding "meh" now, that's sad if you ask me.

However, because I am going away on a 3 and half month tour, and I'll be away from home that long, I felt I would need a smart phone while I am on the road.

      Samsung’s has to cut corners somewhere. I mean with the low end processor they need good ram and storage to help the phone not be a total mess. Also helps with the phones performance. I mean to be competitive you need to actually create a good phone for the price and a good phone in general. With a higher resolution screen performance would be worse.

    My sister has this phone and it is the perfect phone for her as she very seldom ever takes a photograph and simply uses it for communications and social media. For a lot of people who’ve never owned a flagship phone and will never know the difference. This phone is really pretty special as it does everything they need which gives them a lot of pleasure. Someone like me who now owns the iPhone 15 Pro Max would be horrified to have to use one or really any of the budget phones but they do have their place and they make it possible for people, who don’t necessarily have deep pockets to still have a device that serves their needs and gives them a little room to have some fun.

    It would've been so much better if Samsung just adapted Infinity-O centre hole punch cutout on all their devices from the lowest end to the most premium devices cuz at least that has an impact in terms of viewing experience and actuallt gives their device the impression of the lesser bezel instead of an antiquated V shaped or even U shaped notch that they still use despite of other manufacturers effort to abolish it on their own phones in following Samsung's original footstep of holepunch camera cutout. Also being able to add 4 fingerprints just like on their previous and current flagship phones would've been so much better instead of just 3 fingerprints. And the use of IPS/TFT LCD is such a shame when they could've used AMOLED (even with 720p resolution) just like their older lower midrange phones like the A20, A30, A30s would've been gladly appreciated since they're the ones who makes their own displays I don't think it'll really cost them that much to add an OLED panels even to their lower end phones. Other than that A12 is a nice second phone but I honestly wouldn't consider it to be my primary daily driver.

    I know this is an old video, but I still enjoy watching them and picking up a little bit of knowledge here and there. My sister has this phone and other than a little bit of Facebook. She really just uses it to make calls and text for which this phone is still perfect. In fact, most people walking around with iPhones and series Samsung are carrying them around for status or just personal pleasure but I think the A2 is probably the perfect phone for at least 50% of the people out there. I mean, taking pictures of the kids at the ball game and the backyard picnic this is fine for the basic stuff. Today, most people, send a photograph via text and then it is deleted shortly there after. It amazes me how many people buy thousand dollar phones and then don’t use the features that make those phones desirable?

    Got the 128 GB version in white and I love it. Big upgrade from my previous 32 gb, and for one im not mad at the camera.
    As for my personal review, you get what you pay for. This was the first phone I ever paid for myself and as a broke highschool kid saving up for college, you really want to spend the least amount of money, while still getting a functional phone. With the currency conversion I only paid 190 dollars for it brand new, which is a huge bargain for what you get.
    As for the battery, its pretty durable, lasting me about a day and a half on end, which is great considering I need to spend a lot of time on my phone for online courses and classes.
    Camera isnt as bad as many think, as for every phone I've gotten before, the back camera is always better than the front. Front facing camera has some noise issues, but in proper lighting it goes away. I am a video editor, and I dont mind the video capturing quality. I have a seperate third-party program for video editing including stabilisation, so its not a big issue if the phone doesn't have have that by default.
    Phone is pretty fast, and I havent experienced any freezing or shutting down which used to be a problem on my old device.
    I actually prefer plastic phones over glass, considering I carry my device everywhere, and tend to drop it 😅
    As for the fingerprint sensor I'm in love. My previous phone (J6) had the sensor engraved onto the back of the phone, which was so unconventional, and took me so long to unlock.
    I cannot provide my input on gaming, because I rarely ever play.
    It also does have the Android 11, once you software update the device
    Overall I like the look of the phone, and I think for what it's worth, the Samsung Galaxy A12 is a great option
    EDIT:
    So I'm back, almost a year later, with an updated review on the phone, to let yall know how its been over the year.
    My review is pretty much the same, HOWEVER one thing that has been bugging me is that the phone has gotten a bit slower. Typing this comment now isn't as fast as I typed it last year, which can get annoying. The video quality also declined quite a bit, and videos have gotten unusually sharp, way sharper than it should be.
    Other than that its the same as it was, especially battery life.

A quick google search shows Phone companies are throttling data more these days, they're making it so you can't get 1080p content by wireless even if you wanted it, so if people are forced into using lower pixel density screens, then they wont whine and complain that their experience is getting nerfed. Take away the choice in the hopes that people will take what they're given and like it.

    Hello Sir!! I'm using Samsung Galaxy A12.. I really like it because of its bigger storage, bigger RAM and bigger battery life for affordable price.. and can handle some heavy games.. but.. this month, I received an updated so I download it then install it on my phone.. After 5-10 minutes, it looks OK at startup (just little lag).. But when I go to the Camera App, Rear Camera is OK but when I switch it to front camera, it lags then the error message appears.. It said, "Warning! Camera failed.." then the Camera App stops working..
    I tried anything to fix it but nothing works.. I decided to post a forum on Samsung Members app about this problem.. The next day, I got a bunch of comments that they have the same problem on the same device.. Some they tried to reset the phone but nothing works.. The only front camera works is to go to Instagram then switch to Stories.. I tried to avoid switching to rear camera while the front camera is working fine.. That's all..
    Since you have that Samsung Galaxy A12, have you experienced the same problem after the update?
    Thank you!!

    This is a concerning trend for the galaxy A lineup. So first to go we’re the premium build materials. My old A8(2018) had a glass back, a metal frame and to top it off an IP 68 water resistance rating. I was fine when Samsung went all plastic in 2019 just so they can make the things cheaper, but then they introduced those crappy 720p lcd’s which slowly started creeping their way up the lineup overtime. Instead of them bringing new things to the A series of phones they seem to have just nerfed it this year. It’s real sad because I have been using Samsung mid rangers for 7 years now and they are really good. To sum it up subject yourself to the A02/A02s only if you don’t have the money for anything else. The A12 is fine generally good value. The A32 is gonna be a disaster when it comes out. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT. Either go up to the A42 yeah I know still 720p but at the very least it’s oled, or buy the A12 or the A22 cause if you’re gonna subject yourself to the 720p lcd you might as well be saving money. The A52 is gonna be the phone to buy. Because it still covers the original promises of the A series ( at least in my opinion). A cheap phone with a good screen and decent internals to match. Yeah the things are laggy but they won’t be samsungs without it.
