Samsung announces Galaxy A12 and A02s: two entry-level phones

The phones are aimed at the entry-level segment and will be available from January-February 2021.

Both phones come equipped with a 6.5 inch TFT screen and an HD + resolution, along with a 5000mAh battery and fast charging at 15W. Both phones come with Android 10, offer SD card slot and 3.5mm jack. Prices have not yet been made public.

The differences between them end here, and the Galaxy A12 uses an octa-core processor currently unknown as a model, with basic equipment 32GB internal and 3GB RAM up to the version with 128GB internal and 6GB RAM.

The main camera has 48MP, the ultra-wide 5MP plus 2 2MP cameras one for macro and depth. The selfie camera has 8MP. The fingerprint sensor is on the side.

Galaxy A02s is an even more basic phone: it uses a Qualcomm SM4250 Snapdragon 450 processor also octacore, along with 3GB RAM and 32GB for storage.

On the photo side, the ultra-wide sensor disappeared and I was left with a 13MP main photo sensor, along with two 2MP sensors for macro and depth.

The front camera is 5MP. It does not have a fingerprint sensor, so security has remained old-fashioned, with PIN and maybe face unlock.
