Samsung Galaxy F12
The new Galaxy F12, is not entirely new as it is essentially a rebranded Galaxy M12. It comes with a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD panel with a waterdrop notch design which Samsung calls an Infinity-V display. It supports a 90Hz screen refresh rate and Gorilla Glass protection on top.
Coming to the cameras, the Galaxy F12 packs a quad-camera array at the back. This includes a primary 48MP ISOCELL GM2 sensor. Apart from that, the camera setup includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. There is also an 8MP selfie snapper housed inside the waterdrop notch.
Under the hood, the Galaxy F12 packs the same Exynos 850 SoC that powers the Galaxy M12. However, unlike the M12 that comes with up to 6GB of RAM, the F12 packs 4GB of RAM. The device comes with up to 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 1TB via a dedicated microSD card slot).
Much like the Galaxy M12, the Galaxy F12 also packs a massive 6,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging support via the USB-C port. The device also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The device runs the Android 11-based Samsung OneUI 3.1 out-of-the-box.
