Samsung recently launched its S-series flagship devices for 2021. Usually, the company will focus on the A-series next. Accordingly, multiple devices like Galaxy A32, A52, A72 are on the radar of leaks. Now, a new BIS listing suggests that the recently announced Galaxy A12 could also be heading to India soon.

A Samsung device with model number SM-A125F has seemingly appeared on the BIS database. If you recall, this model number belongs to the recently announced Galaxy A12. Before the official announcement, an official Samsung Russia support page gave away the model number.
