Samsung Galaxy M12 deals

The Galaxy M12 was Samsung's attempt to win the budget end of the market on stamina alone, and on that count it worked. A 6,000mAh cell in a phone this cheap makes two days of light use realistic rather than optimistic, although the 15W charging means refilling it is an overnight job. Samsung also did something unusual for the money by fitting a 90Hz screen, so scrolling feels smoother than most rivals at the price. The trade-off is resolution: the panel is HD+ LCD, so text and video look noticeably softer than on the AMOLED phones Xiaomi was selling for similar money. The Exynos 850 is built for efficiency rather than speed, and it handles messaging, streaming and social apps without complaint while struggling with demanding 3D games. The 48MP main camera is capable in daylight and unremarkable once the light drops; the macro and depth sensors alongside it add very little. Today the M12 is a phone you choose for battery life, a headphone jack and a microSD slot rather than for performance, and its software support window has long since closed.
