Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

As there had never been a Samsung before, I made the decision to start my relationship with them with this affordable model. As they are both the same price, I shall compare it to my previous smartphone, a Huawei P Smart Z. The P Smart Z was slightly quicker at the same 4/64 due to a more powerful processor, but I don't feel uncomfortable on the A12 either. I set up everything in a few days, and it started to work faster than it did right out of the box. I then removed the excess and installed what I needed to, and everything improved. The screen might not be top-of-the-line, but I can't see any pixels; the only thing you notice when you turn on the "eye protection" is a strange shade that doesn't appear on other smart phones; this is likely a feature of the matrix. By the way, according to this PLS description, the screen is practically "shim-free," which means it flickers less than amoleds. I play the same games on A12 without issues, although it feels like it opens something longer but nothing crucial, despite the difference in Antutu tests with my P Smart Z appearing to be considerable (173 points versus roughly 103-110 points, data vary). The shell's lack of necessity for deletion or turning off, lack of extra questions, and lack of upward movement appealed to me. By the way, there was a choice between Xiaomi Redmi 9 4/64, the price of which is once again the same, but despite the fact that Redmi performed significantly better in the test, I dislike the shell and the fact that there are advertisements everywhere you look, making it difficult to find all the menus, and after a reset or meal, everything is brand-new. In other words, the Chinese are smug. I liked the cameras in the A12; during the day, everything works fine and the background is blurred, however that background may still be altered in the final image. Strangely enough, the speaker is louder and produces significantly better sound than the P Smart Z. I spent a total of 13,000 for a cover and glass for this smartphone, so overall, I'm happy with it.

Pros
  • Shell, camera, and autonomy
