Advertisements

Samsung Galaxy M12 is the direct successor to the Galaxy M11 of last year. Some of the notable upgrade in this model over that of last year includes a slightly larger display, more camera lenses and larger built-in battery capacity. The M12 comes a 6.5-inches display with 720 x 1600 pixels resolution and a dewdrop notch overhead.

The processing power on this device comes from Samsung Exynos 850, an octa-core 14nm CPU clocked at 2.0GHz, same CPU in the Galaxy A21s. Backing the CPU is the Mali-G52 GPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB built-in storage.

On the camera front, there are four lenses at the back which includes a 48-megapixel main lens, a 5-megapixel ultrawide, 2-megapixel macro and a fourth 2-megapixel depth sensor, along with an LED flash, while a single 8-megapixel selfie sensor is housed in the notch upfront.

Aside the battery capacity and the CPU, the M12 actually share other specs with the Galaxy A12. So there is same side-placed fingerprint scanner, and a single or dual SIM options. For the battery compartment, it is a 6000mAh unit with 15W fast charger, while Google Android 10 runs out of the box. The full specs of Samsung Galaxy M12 is contained in the table below.
