Samsung Galaxy A12 In 2023! (Still Worth Buying?) (Review)

I'm getting. One for Christmas

Why don't they have a app besides SmartThings..it isn't compatible with this Plaine so I can set up my Samsu h Smart TV with the Smart features. That really has me stressed out..please help

It's not outdated...mine is using Android 13 WITH UI 5.1

I have this phone.. DONT BUY IT

Best cheap samsung phone.The King

I've had mine for about 2 years and its been alright for the most part, however it is slow and lately its been acting up alot. It exits apps for no reason. And the camera isnt very good. Wouldn't recommend unless you are strapped for cash

I still use this phone and I like it.

The only exciting thing about this phone is the price. Trust me, I own this phone.

I could careless about how fast it is or it's software, as long as I can talk and text, it will be the best phone ever. And because I don't keep it in my pocket and look at it all day long like most morons, I won't develop a tumor.

It is not worth to buy i had this phone for 2 years do not buy this phone unless u call only

Still using mine till this date.....its holding up pretty well. Im upgrading to S21 but im not getting rid of my A12. The battery really holding up to 26+ hours after a full charge🔥

I hate this phone, I have it as my work phone and it's so laggy.

I got a Samsung a12 but it's cracked

Had this guy for 2+yrs 96%full but still works😅

For storage system takes around 10.30gb, and the rest of the 32gb is for recreational

You sucede 😂

I use mine mainly for banking, shopping and some emulators. Oh, and it's still great for media consumption.

The price of this phone is okay ((i wont say this phone is good but)) i purchased for $80 , 2 years ago , and this is my first ever phone so you know this was a exciting experience for me because i was able to do anything now that i have a phone. However, there was some downside towards this phone and that's applications are always crashing and/or lagging which is really annoying. I know that i wasnt expecting the best experience ever but bugs/glitches tend to happen more often and often and often it gets so ANNOYING!!! The camera quality on this phone is the worst and slow too. And everytime when im recording a video, the video comes out very laggy which is very unpleasant. And if you really love to take selfies and videos all day. Long, then this phone is definitely NOT for you as I said, the camera quality is trash. The battery on this phone didnt last how it said it was gonna last. I thought this phone would be a long lasting battery but it seems like i was WRONG! My battery was draining fast for some reason 😒. Another thing that i would like to put out is that if you are going to buy this phone, DONT! Please do not buy this phone in 2023 as this phone causes a lot of bugs and glitches throughout the day, and trust believe that you will be PISSED.

It's not as good as the hype, clearly has so many limitations

I forgot to mention. Gaming is perfectly fine for me but only becuase I don't play these crazy modern mobile games. Right now I've been playing emulated games on MyBoy Gba Free and those games runs very well. I've been playing Pokémon Sapphire and it runs so smooth. Otherwise I also play Galaga and 3D Pinball. Yes there is a 3D Pinball app that's just like the Windows XP 3D Pinball. The only other mobile games I'd probably get us Pokémon Shuffle and Fire Emblem Heros. But idk I kinda grew out of those. I like the real counterparts emulated on my phone. Cause it's the only device I'll use for emulating.

I own a Galaxy A12 have owned it for the past 2 and a half years and I'm still pleased with it. Now granted it's not the best phone and it's not the fastest. But it's good. I agree with Simple Alpaca when he said he doesn't recommend buying this phone anymore in 2023. There better current options. If I'm not mistaken the A14 is out now and it has a 1080p display. A bigger camera, but I think the battery size is the same. Which isn't a bad thing. Now I'm going to talk about my phone. This Galaxy A12 has been super reliable to me for the most part. Battery is still holding up pretty well. Have not cracked the screen or the screen protector yet. That's another thing. Of you own this phone and a tempered glass screen protector and a case especially of your like me and you work at a shop. You'll have to take it off occasionally to clean off dirt and in the nooks and crannies. Speed wise, it's fast when it wants to be fast and it's slow when you need it to be fast. For example of you need to take a picture of something immediately but it's being slow or if your trying to show someone something important. It's a bit embarrassing at times not gonna lie. The screen isn't as colorful as my Galaxy Amp Prime 3 and it's not as sharp either. And that is becuase the screen is a large screen with a 720p display which again is stupid. Unlike simple alpaca I do think this phone takes good photos. They're not to write home about but they do come our really well. Plus I love the wide angle camera a whole lot. It's great if your tryna get a good pov picture of the car your inside. And you can take a picture without standing super far away and it'll still look proportioned. So yes at the time It was a great phone and quite honestly the performance hasn't gotten much worse since I've first bought it. It's been pretty much the same. But yeah I'm with Alpaca, don't buy it now when you can buy the Galaxy A14. If you still have it, keep it till it runs out of software support or starts randomly malfunctioning.

I bought Galaxy A12 for IDR 2 million (around USD 135) in February 2023... got the 6gb ram version & 128gb memory with a 5000mah battery which makes this phone more than enough for everyday usage. Btw I got the Exynos model and got it updated to Android 13 with One UI 5.1 👍🏾!

this phone makes me want to jump off a cliff

I do not know which a12 ur talking about my a12 is running on android 13 one ui 5.1 core no custom rom
And my mobile has exynos 850 procesor

Tf happened to the back lol

Got mine for $50. For the price, it’s definitely usable if all you are gonna use it like google, messaging and maps. And ofc some light gaming.

Please make a video about my phone. The samsung Galaxy A32 4g

Im not sure if I should upgrade now or not

Decent phone for 2023!

This phone is not THAT bad!

It's boring!

Too much bezel especially on the bottom!

Can you please make another “best safari extensions” video because your old vid is pretty outdated and some apps like “prettyweb” doesn’t exist for me

I have both the Iphone 12 and the A12. Honestly the iphone just seems better idk why lol

Would have subbed if you did more on the metaquest pro. But it's all phone... 😢

Last

I used this phone as a backup and the lag was a dealbreaker. Its really only good for some light web browsing and messaging. Now that its nearing its end of software support, this phone is something that really shouldn't be bought unless someone is really pinched out on pennies.
