【Silip】

If you've been waiting for a Samsung phone that covers the basics at a price that won't make you cry,Silip the new Galaxy A12 might fit the bill.

The phone has a 6.5-inch, HD+ display with a V-shaped notch in the middle, a quad 48/5/2/2-megapixel camera, and an 8-megapixel selfie camera.

It also features a 5,000mAh battery. Last year's Galaxy A11 only had a triple rear camera and a 4,000mAh battery, so this is a pretty big upgrade.

The phone has an octa-core chip (Samsung doesn't say which one), and 3/4/6GB of RAM, and 32/64/128GB of storage, depending on the configuration you choose.

Those specs are decent, but the killer feature here is the price, which is low for a Samsung Galaxy device: 179 EUR ($212) for the 64GB variant, and 199 EUR ($236) for the version with 128GB of storage. No word on pricing for the 32GB variant, though. The phone will launch in Europe in January 2021.

It also has a triple 13/2/2-megapixel camera, a 5-megapixel selfie camera, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery. There's no fingerprint sensor on this one, but it does have a microSD card.

The Samsung Galaxy A02s is coming in February 2021, in black and white only, with a price tag of 150 EUR ($179).
