Review on Locked Tracfone Samsung Galaxy A12, 32GB, Black - Prepaid Smartphone in Review by Lin Wei-Yin ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

Relative moments: The phone is incredibly difficult to use in the summer. I assume that this is a problem of all smartphones-without-borders, however, we are talking about a specific one and at the slightest sweating during the heat, touching with part of the hand to the left or right forces you to perform some actions tied to such gestures / touches at the edges of the screen, and the presence of smudging , moisture on the screen itself (even imperceptible as such) - make it press all the letters on the on-screen keyboard, simultaneously sending such a message to someone The speaker-loudspeaker at the bottom of the phone on the right is an inconvenient solution for locating one, in my opinion: with the index finger of your right hand, you close the speaker while watching a movie, and turning the phone on the other side, you will rest your finger on the volume buttons. The phone is massive and in both cases you need to hold it firmly, involuntarily either muffling the speaker or pressing the control buttons The protruding "nest" of the camera landing. On the Internet site, plus or minus the same set of types of cases for phones, they are not too thick (of course) and when ordering in an online store you don’t try them on in advance (who would have thought), so if the appearance is not too important, then I recommend watching what -something from retailers, trying to choose something thicker in order to make the reverse side more even. This, of course, without taking into account the classic protective glasses for the screen and the main. cameras (in the sense that this is a prerequisite for such large devices, scratches on which will be especially noticeable against the general background when viewing sufficiently bright or colored media content; protective glasses have almost no effect on the thickness, of course)

Pros
  • Battery capacity is enough for a full day 3GB of RAM allows you to hold applications and browser pages for some time without reloading, maintaining the performance of the device as a whole
Cons
  • The Internet disappears when making a call - this is simply absurd. You either need to use each SIM card for exclusion. for different purposes, or accept that from time to time this may happen Checking the Knox license - during the day, a translucent notification appears periodically at the bottom in the center, provided that you have accepted the terms of use. agreements if and if you do not understand what it is and why it is being imposed on you, deciding not to accept it - a full-fledged window will pop up every time you open some types of applications (even unrelated to Samsung) The proximity sensor is a section at the top of the screen and when you try to quote a message in the most popular messengers (the mechanics are the same everywhere, but it’s not always convenient to swipe a message for quotes.) while listening to a voice, you trigger the sensor and the screen turns off, respectively. the sound also switches from the main speaker to the classic mode (at the ear) and you have to get angry at first trying to unlock the phone, rewinding the message Cloning of applications is, as it were, but in fact it is not, it is available only for a couple of messengers - there is no question of any banking applications Camera focus is lame - sometimes it takes a long time to recover after something unexpectedly caused defocus After a notification, the sound of the media (at least video; with music, it seems to be a good thing there is no such thing) sometimes becomes quieter and will not recover until you are like a min. you won't get out of full screen. regime, and perhaps more action is needed. Enabling or vice versa disabling the developer mode, as the manufacturer advised in support, does not solve the problem
