Samsung Android Announcement

We've been hearing about the Galaxy A12 and Galaxy A02s for some time now and today Samsung made both smartphones official as the first members of its Galaxy A (2021) lineup.

Samsung Galaxy A12

The Galaxy A12 succeeds the Galaxy A11 introduced back in March and brings upgrades to the camera and battery departments.

The Galaxy A11 packed a 4,000 mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy A12 ships with a 5,000 mAh cell, both charging at 15W.

The A11 featured a triple camera setup on the back comprising a 13MP primary, 5MP ultrawide, and 2MP depth sensor units. The A12, on the other hand, retains the ultrawide and depth sensors, swaps the 13MP camera with a 48MP module, and gets a 2MP macro unit. These are arranged in a square formation.

The Galaxy A12 packs a slightly larger 6.5" HD+ Infinity-V display that has a notch for the 8MP selfie camera, which remains unchanged from the A11.

Under the hood, the Galaxy A12 has an octa-core processor consisting of CPU cores clocked at 2.3GHz and 1.8GHz. Samsung doesn't say what chipset it used, but looking at the configuration it appears the smartphone is powered by the Helio P35 SoC.

Samsung also doesn't reveal what version of Android the Galaxy A12 boots to. The smartphone comes with 3GB, 4GB, or 6GB RAM on board and has three storage options - 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. You also get a microSD card slot for storage expansion by up to 1TB.

The Galaxy A12 features a side-mounted fingerprint reader, comes with the Samsung Knox security platform, and is offered in Black, Blue, White and Red colors.

Samsung Galaxy A02s

The Galaxy A02s follows up the Galaxy A01 announced last December. It is built around a 6.5" HD+ Infinity-V display and is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz, which could be a part of the Snapdragon 450.

The smartphone comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage onboard, and it also has a microSD card slot, which allows storage expansion by up to 1TB.

Fueling the entire package is a 5,000 mAh battery with 15W charging, which is a significant upgrade over the A01's 3,000 mAh cell.

This isn't Samsung's segment. They clearly can't compete with Umidigi or Xiaomi on specs/price.

Yeah Samsung is really slow and I think they need to Make camera and aperture better Faster UI (Like every single A series shows up with a splash screen like "Phone" or "Settings" and you have to wait until they open) Fast...
