Very factual. Love this kind of expression. No stupid background music, no distracting "special effects."
No dork face thumbnail.
@@Competitive_Antagonist Looks like school is out. All the preadolescent keyboard warriors are disseminating their foolishness. 😜
yes! thank you
Faith in humanity restored
@@tedstout7439 he just agreed with you and you dissed him lol. didnt realize boomers were actually this dumb
I like how it has a Headphone jack, Micro SD, charger in box, and the s21 has none of that
@@CrisCheese_ who said u already have wireless buds and cloud storage if u r a flagshipuser. More like that's what they expect or should I say WANT u to have
XD
@@splash8429 Yeah it's a good way for them to slowly pressure consumers into buying wireless options, preferably their own ear buds.
@@CrisCheese_ not true I went from am iphone 7 to an s21 had nothing
maybe it is because they expect the people who buy the S21 also buy their wireless headphones etc
My belief with phones is simple, I require phones for on the go and my contacts and work, but outside of that I don't depend on my phone for anything really when indoors except phone calls, I use tablets and my pc for everything indoors. So I've never really wanted a massively expensive phone, just one that does the basics and won't burn a hole in my pocket, so I've stuck to affordable contracts with samsung phones.
Wow
Sense
Bluetooth music and hopefully a little Pokémon Go.
BIG BRAIN Move
Yeah true expecially with cheap phones like this like this is $89.99 to $100 in stores and this is the perfect price expecially for when you need a phone that isn’t to expensive but is fast enough and good enough to do things on and this is perfect because will be buying it once I have the money so I can actually stay in contact with my parents and friends and keep up with messages with friends on Snapchat when I’m out and about
Love my A12, the battery lasts for days, dont have to top up daily like my old one. Everything works quickly and simple in the usual Samsung way. Took me a little used to the fingerprint sensor as never used one before, but now I am its great. Big Android update few days ago to. For a non phone gamer its a fantastic phone and price.
@@TheHrt5 I doubt anyone could tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen this small. I remember when the Google Nexus 4 came out and everyone raved over the 720p screen now for some reason we seem to think 720p is no longer acceptable like our eyes have overnight developed sharper vision. 720p is more than good enough for a phone screen.
@@TheHrt5 There's more to a screen than resolution. 720p is fine with me.
@RageShorts dude has clearly never used a bad phone.
@@mdluk199 to me I prefer the higher res screen. I have the redmi note 9s and the screen is a nice 1080p 6.67 inch LCD screen. While yes 720p isn’t the worse, it’s an overstatement to say that is more than good enough. I can tell the difference and I like 1080p better.
LOVE the fingerprint sensor. Great security.
It looks better than the glossy Phones. That's why I like it.
Who cares about the feel of the phone nowadays everyone gets phone cases now
True
I do alot
I dont' really care, because I use cases, but this phone is as slippery as oil in my hands. the phone exterior is a fail
Same here. And my case was under 10$ with a screen protector and kickstand/ finger hole thing. And the screen protector is glass like
I care. I ditched case and after one year, I really don't need it.
Great review. Very nicely done. Noce pace and covered all f&b's. Thanks for taking tbe time.
Just stopped using this phone , switched to the iphone 12. After a year and a half of using that phone all i can say IT WAS GARBAGE if ur a heavy user do not buy this phone, dont get me wrong the battery life is amazinggg but the camera, the screen and the lag does not make it any better then that. If u are getting a samsung/android just go for the more premium a series phones or a galaxy phone.
Same i had that phone and it was more a phone for kids or for grandparents and i wanted a phone to be better for gaming and to also be samsung so i got the Samsung A34 the processor its okay its just a midrange but its still better than the A54 aand the rest its just like the A54 instead of model and camera and if i got an S20Fe It wouldnt have gotten any android uppdates or security updates since the last update was 2 years ago and the S21 in my country its just way more expensive than the A34
IPhone 12 price 🗿 Samsung 12 price🐵 .😂😂😂 are you OK what are you expect in this price. I know realme c25s offers midateck 85g in same price. Buy dont forget Samsung is a brand.
Just got this phone yesterday so I'm learning about the in and outs of it my last phone was a Samsung Galaxy A01 so this is definitely an upgrade for me so far I'm impressed with it my only gripe so far is the alarm clock which wasn't easy to shut up lol
And i don't like the gyroscope keeps giving me problems when my phone flips sideways i haven't found a setting to change this yet.
Haven't had time to check out if you can remove the battery or not yet I'm guessing probably not since they have changed that for most of them over the year's.
I used to love that feature in older model's it was so easy to fix screen freeze with that.
Any recommendations for camera options to get the best picture's
Or video options?
Nice review thats helpful. Could you add performance for video conferencing like zoom next time for budget phone review. Apparently it seems the chip like mediatek, used for mid range phones aren't great for video conferencing apps like zoom. This is from experience. Thanks.
My Samsung Galaxy a01 just got a major update and I can now view CZcams videos in 1080p and the camera is updated as well. This is crazy 🤯. I'm so happy.
Same
My A10e got that option too but I can't see the difference between 720p and 1080p video wise
Same my j3 got update and now I can watch youtube in 1080p :)
Im sorry to say its only on youtube, updated ver of youtube to be exact. The rest is as it is.
Thank you for taking the time to review this phone. I have been looking for a cheap but reliable device and did have my eye on this A12. You have answered my questions and I now feel confident that this phone is just what I'm looking for. Thanks for the video
Had this phone for 2 weeks and it works perfect for me. I was thinking about getting the s21 ultra bc of the camera and battery. But in good lightning I am impressed with the a12 camera. The battery is as big as the ultra. The screen is also good enough for me. Super fast and good phone gaming is not necessary for me, but it is not thst slow either
Also love the big screen though gripable phone. Not to big phone
Dunno sure finding new offering's over the past several months quite underwhelming, this extends across all ranges of devices from budget to flagships. Making "old" new again seems to be a trend like reinstating the water drop notch (A12 vs A11), reducing display resolutions (G Power (2021), S21 & S21+), increasing display sizes while keeping same res, or as is the case of G Power (2021), increasing whilst reducing. Since purchasing my 2020 Moto G's last year there hasn't been a single device since that has sparked my interest w/most getting a resounding "meh" now, that's sad if you ask me.
I was still using an s8 until I watched this review and went to the mall yesterday yesterday get an A12, but they were all out of stock so i ended up getting an A52 5G at an amazing black Friday price! Love the phone
This was really helpful, thanks !!
I’m a student… as long as I can use it when I travel to university and can play Pokemon Go on it then I’m happy. Also the nfc reader is a nice addition, means i can scan and upload my own Nintendo amiibo. I’m thinking about getting one
Hows the Pokemon Go play experience on A12. Looking at getting this strictly to play Go
I was waiting so long for one of your videos to ask you a question, do you have information on when they present us with the new Galaxy A52 and A72? I'm waiting a lot for you, that's all, Greetings from Tucumán, Argentina🇦🇷❤️
¡Buenos Dias!
Right now I have an A7 (2018). Its really good. On some games it starts to lag, but as it's 3 years older than the A12, which will be my next phone, I hope that the performance will be better. Should arrive this week!
My sister has this phone and it is the perfect phone for her as she very seldom ever takes a photograph and simply uses it for communications and social media. For a lot of people who’ve never owned a flagship phone and will never know the difference. This phone is really pretty special as it does everything they need which gives them a lot of pleasure. Someone like me who now owns the iPhone 15 Pro Max would be horrified to have to use one or really any of the budget phones but they do have their place and they make it possible for people, who don’t necessarily have deep pockets to still have a device that serves their needs and gives them a little room to have some fun. Your video was right on point and very fun and interesting to listen to. You have a friend in Columbus, Ohio :-)!
I went to the store the other day looking for this phone cause my coworker just got it, I absolutely loved the fingerprint reader on the power button. That's what drew me in. But they didn't have the phone in stocks, so I got the a53
Got my phone just a bit ago and hadn't yet learned that it had a fingerprint sensor. Worth watching this video just for that. Thanks. It's much more comfortable than mashing the power button every time.
Maybe it sounds rude but how did you not know about the fingerprint feature? It asks for your fingerprint when installing the phone.
It's also in the start up guide 💀
@@JessiDoDis I got one but it didn't ask me for my fingerprint I found out by scrolling.
Thank you for the review. it looks like I didn't spend too much on a phone that is just for usage while traveling. I didn't check about the wireless charging, but in retrospect I wish that I would've love to have. Perhaps a battery case is in my future.
Dose the back of the phone feel cheap ? Like the material it's made from ?
Love your videos so much ngl

Great review with thanks. I was wondering if I bought an International Samsung Galaxy A12 (I live in Canada), would I have a problem?
Good, clear review, and commensurate with other reviewers. I had a Samsung Galaxy 9 on a plan. Costing me a
fortune on a Pension. The fingerprint option stopped working early on, and I've been using 5 tap code entry - grrr!!!
When it got smashed recently, my daughter got me a Samsung A12 NO PLAN! Can start buying clothes again.
LOVE the quick entry. All the basics for what I need. Would like louder sound, but everything else enough for
my use on a budget.
Thank you for these reviews...! I watched the A12, A21, and A20 reviews because they are mostly what I'm looking at. My main interest is in photo quality. My old Samsung camera (just one lens) never seems to take true-color pictures (they always need post enhancement). Do you have a preference for this issue from these 3 models?
I would say they all take good pictures and have great battery. Major issues I've ran into with the a20& 21 was screen freezing then screen stuck black. Most of the time you have to do a hard reset to fix. This is a major internal problem with those models and seem to happen after updates.
I was looking for a good budget smartphone to replace my Moto E6, this is perfect. Thanks for the review.
I like how this is in my recommendations on my newly bought A12...
Thank you for this review! I just bought this phone and this is my VERY FIRST SMART PHONE! I never ever wanted to buy a smart, phone, I LOVE my old fashion flip-phone. However, because I am going away on a 3 and half month tour, and I'll be away from home that long, I felt I would need a smart phone while I am on the road. When I pick it up at the store, I will need training on how to use a smart phone, because I have never had one before. I think this phone is PERFECT for me!

I have a feeling there might be a 1080p display shortage. There are various other tech items in short supply for the last while.
Samsung’s has to cut corners somewhere. I mean with the low end processor they need good ram and storage to help the phone not be a total mess. Also helps with the phones performance. I mean to be competitive you need to actually create a good phone for the price and a good phone in general. With a higher resolution screen performance would be worse.
I mean the screen is still decent, big, and doesn’t have a giant bezel or chin.
thanks ... . just upgraded my A6 to A12 . I don't play games - just a basic user so I feel happier about my decision having watched your helpful vid .. thank you
I know this is an old video, but I still enjoy watching them and picking up a little bit of knowledge here and there. My sister has this phone and other than a little bit of Facebook. She really just uses it to make calls and text for which this phone is still perfect. In fact, most people walking around with iPhones and series Samsung are carrying them around for status or just personal pleasure but I think the A2 is probably the perfect phone for at least 50% of the people out there. I mean, taking pictures of the kids at the ball game and the backyard picnic this is fine for the basic stuff. Today, most people, send a photograph via text and then it is deleted shortly there after. It amazes me how many people buy thousand dollar phones and then don’t use the features that make those phones desirable? Once again it was very enjoyable to watch this video, you have a friend in Columbus, Ohio!
Currently 3 weeks with my phone, I'm happy with my A12. Been using my Asus zenfone max for 5 years, 2gb ram and 16gb internal storage, the A12 is a fcking huge thing for me. It's not perfect or as smooth as an iphone (my sister owns the latest version and I've used it a couple times. It really has a different user experience) but it does all the necessary job you need for daily activities. Not a huge gamer so I'm not sure in that department. But as a budget phone, using the 4/128gb is as fast as the flagship ones.
My personal nitpick is just the camera. The front cam tends to have a beautification filter, even if its turned off.
Does it have Front Flash and Split Screen ?
@@trill4062 no frontflash, it has splitscreen
@@mikhailfernandez24 thank you. I appreciate u replying back
The A12 Is $99 on Boost right now. Considering getting It. I have the Moto G Fast and want to go back to Samsung. I want the A22 but If It doesn't come out soon on Boost I'ma need to get this phone. Or the A51.
Was thinking of getting this phone for a budget one I use Samsung for years now and my last one was a Samsung a 10 and that was so good is this the same and does it crash anytime and run apps smoothly? Is it waterproof also?
I got one coming on the 15th and the only game i really play, is candy crush. The basics is all i need. Great video TechDailey

Agree. Getting mine in 3days to buddy up with my SM J7 Pro, well selling the OPPO A5 2020 I bought last week to a cousin of mine.

@@mike.n4 how's the A12 now?
@@GameoftheYear-fx4mq I realized I cant cope without an Amoled Screen to produce the power saving "Always On Display " feature when im not wearing my Samsung Watch. No 'Applock' or 'Secure Folder' to which all the above exists on my J7 Pro. Thats what I get for rushing into the deal I got. Not blown away with the Camera and/or features. Good battery and fast charge though. Plan to move to Samsung A32 as soon as my finances permit. 😳
@@mike.n4 dang. Yeah I was just curious, I'm not looking for a phone but I like to see which ones may be good to get a few years later when I'll need to change.
My father a12 isn’t worth it anymore, no matter how many times I try to boost its speed, it lags a ton, even closing apps and moving storage to an SD card doesn’t work, I’m helping him move on

I know this isn't related to this specific phone but I am curious as to which phones are good for video calling. All of my friends are iphone users and complain about my video quality being extremely pixelated and working at like 3 fps compared to theirs which runs smoothly and provides sufficient detail in their video quality. I currently have the A10 and have wanted an upgrade for a year or so but dont want to buy some crap which cant handle a decent video quality
Well I am glad I watched your video. I don't need a gaming machine so everything else except the size seems satisfying enough for me. I like a smaller phone but am sure I can get used to this one and maybe even love a larger screen. Thanks
I have been using this for half a dozen months now.
For me the +ve's are
1. Battery
2. Camera
3. In hand feel
4. One UI
5. THE KNOX AND THE SENSORS.
The -ve's are

2. Heating issues.
3. Screen to body ratio.
4. Processor (Mediatek Helio P35)
5 . Screen to body ratio with the watermark selfie camera.

Processor is 12 NM based so it is not all that power efficient. The camera output is 12 MP. WITH 2.0 APERTURE. SO the images are not good and Sharp but dull.
Choose wisely. Cheers 🇮🇳

Hi, nice review; is it w. WiFi AC or AX?
So far, the only thing I've heard about this phone that gives me pause is the fact that the camera doesn't have video stabilization. I don't take many pictures, but I need some sort of stabilization for the ones I do take because my hands aren't that steady due to neurological issues.
Where did you get the wallpaper? It's not on backdrops
Did u find it?
It would've been so much better if Samsung just adapted Infinity-O centre hole punch cutout on all their devices from the lowest end to the most premium devices cuz at least that has an impact in terms of viewing experience and actuallt gives their device the impression of the lesser bezel instead of an antiquated V shaped or even U shaped notch that they still use despite of other manufacturers effort to abolish it on their own phones in following Samsung's original footstep of holepunch camera cutout. Also being able to add 4 fingerprints just like on their previous and current flagship phones would've been so much better instead of just 3 fingerprints. And the use of IPS/TFT LCD is such a shame when they could've used AMOLED (even with 720p resolution) just like their older lower midrange phones like the A20, A30, A30s would've been gladly appreciated since they're the ones who makes their own displays I don't think it'll really cost them that much to add an OLED panels even to their lower end phones. Other than that A12 is a nice second phone but I honestly wouldn't consider it to be my primary daily driver.
Great review! I would definitely look for a suggestion of slightly better camera and maybe dual sim in the "mid range" price point. I am thinking of buying this one for my wife, she is mainly text/call not much of media or gaming, but I need a new phone also with better camera and just a notch better screen. Any suggestions? Shall I go with A 32 and A 52 for me? Thank you
Go to the shop and test it out :) if you ever had a smart phone before. You will know what to look for
I have been considering this phone for some time as an upgrade. Im nota phone buff by any means. This video helped me decide to go and grab myself 1. Thankyou
Sounds almost perfect for me.
One is on the way. I just wish the battery was removable.
You'll be lucky to ever see another intentionally removable cellphone battery in your life time sadly. Like finding a unicorn level lucky.
Please do a comparison of Samsung A21s and Samsung A12.

This is now the 3rd or 4th phone I've seen going _backwards_ to 720p from their older counterparts, and I think I'm starting to understand... it all makes sense now. A quick google search shows Phone companies are throttling data more these days, they're making it so you can't get 1080p content by wireless even if you wanted it, so if people are forced into using lower pixel density screens, then they wont whine and complain that their experience is getting nerfed. Take away the choice in the hopes that people will take what they're given and like it.
Got the 128 GB version in white and I love it. Big upgrade from my previous 32 gb, and for one im not mad at the camera.
As for my personal review, you get what you pay for. This was the first phone I ever paid for myself and as a broke highschool kid saving up for college, you really want to spend the least amount of money, while still getting a functional phone. With the currency conversion I only paid 190 dollars for it brand new, which is a huge bargain for what you get.
As for the battery, its pretty durable, lasting me about a day and a half on end, which is great considering I need to spend a lot of time on my phone for online courses and classes.
Camera isnt as bad as many think, as for every phone I've gotten before, the back camera is always better than the front. Front facing camera has some noise issues, but in proper lighting it goes away. I am a video editor, and I dont mind the video capturing quality. I have a seperate third-party program for video editing including stabilisation, so its not a big issue if the phone doesn't have have that by default.
Phone is pretty fast, and I havent experienced any freezing or shutting down which used to be a problem on my old device.
I actually prefer plastic phones over glass, considering I carry my device everywhere, and tend to drop it 😅
As for the fingerprint sensor I'm in love. My previous phone (J6) had the sensor engraved onto the back of the phone, which was so unconventional, and took me so long to unlock.
I cannot provide my input on gaming, because I rarely ever play.
It also does have the Android 11, once you software update the device
Overall I like the look of the phone, and I think for what it's worth, the Samsung Galaxy A12 is a great option
EDIT:
So I'm back, almost a year later, with an updated review on the phone, to let yall know how its been over the year.
My review is pretty much the same, HOWEVER one thing that has been bugging me is that the phone has gotten a bit slower. Typing this comment now isn't as fast as I typed it last year, which can get annoying. The video quality also declined quite a bit, and videos have gotten unusually sharp, way sharper than it should be.
Other than that its the same as it was, especially battery life.
Do you experience any bugs after the android update
@@themockingjay6097 No

@@akali8680 I have the blue version which is really beautiful, I would've chosen red but unfortunately I can't get it in New Zealand 😔

I think this will be a very nice step up from my J1 (2016) which has been excellent for what I use a phone for and only cost AUD$145 ..., absolute bargain! I notice the A12 is another $100 here in Australia though so not cheap, cheap, cheap but still very affordable. 😊

Great review. Just bought one and it doea exactly what I want. Many thanks !.
I'm watching this video on A12 white🤍🥰simply phone for me...
Got mine today and so far its a brilliant phone.💯👌🏾
How are you liking it? I just ordered it and I'm coming from galaxy A20 only cuz I got the galaxy buds plus and they were cutting in and out using the A20
@@caramelgoddess89 I'm loving it. Got a good memory, good quality pics games and movies are brilliant. I am coming from a J3(6) tho. So most upgrades are better than that phone these days.😂
@@Sk4M_.RangeroftheNorth does it overheat when you play games much or no?
@@goldenrequiem2325 no not all bro, been playing on it all day and its brilliant for gaming👌🏽
@@Sk4M_.RangeroftheNorth I had J3(6) and I got A12 yesterday too lol
Coming from I phone to Samsong just received it , it’s 12£ no up front payment contract 24month here in Uk, no idea it will be the right choice or not, but for the price no risk , hope there’s Visio to show what we can do in open box 1st time, to not lose any time to try to go through what you have done, not a problem some people like to find their way alone, nice video thank you for info 👌🏿👍🏻
bro what wallpaper are you using
looks so good
I need a phone that I can play games and doesn't overheat while that happens
I think this one might be good ngl, it has 4 gigs of ram
Buy poco x3 or x3 pro,if you are in the us idk get this or samsung a22
Is this phone 4G or only 3G?
4G
there is a reward program in new Zealand where they had a compaction and
i won 1000 and 2x 50 points and with the 20% points off they had on all
items i was able to get this phone for free good review cant wait to
get it in the post
Almost 3 years of using this, it's time for an upgrade lol. It's very laggy now. When I swipe up, I need to do it multiple times and then it exists the app.
I'm still using the Samsung j6 2018 model so I'm guessing that if I go for the A12 will be a vast improvement.
Im on j2 prime. Yeah, the 2016 one...
While I use samsung galaxy a8 and it just broken so I bought this phone ( I’m not a gamer or video-taking people)
Got this for free on a family plan, no one wanted it so I’m gonna use it to play RuneScape.
Looks exactly like the BLU phones also love the detailed honest video thanx
the A12 is great! a get back on your feet low end budget phone..needed a phone..didnt have a phone..didnt have a lots of funds at the time..perfect situation..lots of specs for low funds..of course its big brother is the mid range A32 5G, thats my next great budget phone from samsung..thank you and have blessed and favored moments.
My 1st smartphone was a$150 Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime . Have a s8 now. Differences s8 has more memory and junk(advanced features) I never use. These A series phones look way better than the grand prime was. Good to know don't have to go into debt to have a decent phone nowadays. I'd definitely look at the A12, A22, A52 & A72 b4 spending $ on a S series.
I'm watching this review because my S8 just got broken, lol.
what about pubg mobile/cod mobile/wild rift on low graphics?...will it still lag?...i dont mind the average graphics..as long as it doesnt crash or lag
It wont lag i play cod mobile on average settings with the a12
useful review.
(even id all the tech lingo is incomprehensible). the part in laymens terms = super clear
considering im still rocking the s4 active im going to love this phone as an upgrade
Ditto! My s4 is now too old for the apps I use so I'm being forced to look at a new phone. Thinking this A12 may be the winner!
I just bought this phone for work since I am working remotely and it has been pretty good. Of course I had clear expectations and it has definitely surpass my expectations.
Are you still satisfied with it from your day to day experience overall?
I have the a12 but sometimes the screen doesn't respond to my finger and when I try to download an app it takes waaaaay too much time like it would load 2% in like 2 minutes.
But thanks for the review...
thats ur wifi hun
Either storage or wifi
The purchased the A12 yesterday and ended up taking it back to the T-Mobile store. Even though the battery was the best that I've ever seen the screen had a white haze screen when I was watching CZcams for long periods of time. My Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime has a 5'' HD 720p screen which is perfect for viewing videos for me.
I just finished watching this video and am happy with my decision to buy this phone
How is it working for u?
@@Onirban1637 good 👍
No 5ghz wifi
Is selfie camera good lol?
Hello Sir!! I'm using Samsung Galaxy A12.. I really like it because of its bigger storage, bigger RAM and bigger battery life for affordable price.. and can handle some heavy games.. but.. this month, I received an updated so I download it then install it on my phone.. After 5-10 minutes, it looks OK at startup (just little lag).. But when I go to the Camera App, Rear Camera is OK but when I switch it to front camera, it lags then the error message appears.. It said, "Warning! Camera failed.." then the Camera App stops working..
I tried anything to fix it but nothing works.. I decided to post a forum on Samsung Members app about this problem.. The next day, I got a bunch of comments that they have the same problem on the same device.. Some they tried to reset the phone but nothing works.. The only front camera works is to go to Instagram then switch to Stories.. I tried to avoid switching to rear camera while the front camera is working fine.. That's all..
Since you have that Samsung Galaxy A12, have you experienced the same problem after the update?
Thank you!!
(Sorry my English is not very good..)
i am never going to update my phone
Looks like a buy for her first smart phone. Grandma will enjoy it.
im getting this phone for christmas this year and iv never had a phone that that before i all wase had a small one so i cant wait
Please do a comparison between the a12 and a21.
No
That would be one useless review but a funny one..like comparing a man to a baby. Lol
I switched back over to Androids. Best decision I have made in my life
Im sorry but the LG Stylo 6 is trash as I have one myself.
shanice if you broke just say that
