Review on Samsung Galaxy A12 Latin American Version 64GB Dual SIM Unlocked Smartphone (Black) - CDMA Verizon/Sprint Not Supported by Kevin Griffin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good smartphone for beginners

Although this phone is a good choice for people who are new to smartphones it has its drawbacks. I recommend you only use this phone directly with T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T. It is not compatible with Hello Mobile or some other low-cost providers. The fastest data transfer rate I've been able to get with Hello Mobile is 1Mbps, but it worked with a SIM card and service from T-Mobile. This suggests to me that Hello Mobile is using frequencies or bands that T-Mobile's aren't widely available, so buy them cheap. Another downside is the fastest Wi-Fi I've been able to get. I only get 40Mbps on this phone, even though I have an 800Mbps internet connection . 802.11ac is not supported, which is required for higher oh fast WiFi. Transferring data from another smartphone is very slow at this WiFi speed. For more experienced smartphone users, I would recommend the Oneplus N10, which retails for $300 and works with 5G.

Pros
  • 6.5 inch 720 x 1600 (HD+) PLS TFT LCD Infinity-V, 5000 mAh battery, fingerprint scanner (side mount)
Cons
