Samsung Galaxy A12

The Galaxy A12 was a bit dull in our test. We can only hope that Samsung will also use AMOLEDs in the inexpensive A models in the future.

The Samsung Galaxy A12 is a cheap smartphone with lots to like about it, from its terrific battery life to its imaginative and attractive design, but its day-to-day performance is so sluggish that all of those good aspects come with a major snag.
