Design

You should not expect a great build quality from an entry-level. All of these phones are made of polycarbonate and they are pretty chunky. I personally prefer the design of the Redmi 10 2022 over the Realme Narzo 50A because it comes with a cleaner look. The Samsung Galaxy A12 has an even more minimalistic look on the rear side. The Realme Narzo 50A is definitely the most original one with its rear texture.

 

Display

If you are looking for the most advanced display, you should go for the Redmi 10 2022 or the Realme Narzo 50A without thinking twice. They have an IPS HD+ panel, while Samsung Galaxy A12 has an inferior PLS display. The Redmi 10 has a wider display with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, better for gaming and productivity.

 

Hardware/Software

Besides sporting the most advanced panel, the Redmi 10 2022 has the best hardware setup. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. The Samsung Galaxy A12 comes with up to 6 GB of RAM, but it is fueled by the inferior MediaTek Helio P35 chipset. The Realme Narzo 50A sits right in the middle with its MediaTek Helio G85 and 4 GB of RAM. Note that Realme Narzo 50A and Redmi 10 2022 run Android 11 out of the box, while Samsung Galaxy A12 runs Android 10 natively, but it can be upgraded.

 

Camera

If you need the best cameras, then choose the Realme Narzo 50A. It is equipped with a 50 MP main camera and a pair of 2 MP lenses for macros and depth calculation. The Redmi 10 has the same main camera but lacks the macro sensor, while the Samsung Galaxy A12 has an inferior main camera but it comes with an ultrawide sensor.

 

Battery

The longest battery life is provided by the Realme Narzo 50A because it sports a bigger 6000 mAh battery and a smaller display.

 

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Realme Narzo 50A vs Samsung Galaxy A12: Price

Redmi 10 2022 is priced at RS. 10,999 / $132 in India, Samsung Galaxy A12 starts from Rs. 11,600 / $139, and Realme Narzo 50A begins at Rs. 11,499. With the actual prices, Redmi 10 wins the comparison due to its bigger display and better chipset.
