Ahead of its scheduled unveiling in the Indian sub-continent this week, retail sources have provided the prices of the various variants of Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy A12 which was released to the global audience in December 2020.

A number of variants of the Samsung Galaxy A12 smartphone are available to the Indian market. The variations basically relate to the size of the RAM and the internal memory of the device. The base model of the Galaxy A12 has 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, while the other variant has 128GB internal memory to go with the 4GB RAM. The top draw of the Galaxy A12 is the 6GB RAM version with 128GB of internal memory.

The base variant will sell for Rs 12,999 to interested customers in India, while the version with 128GB of internal memory would sell at Rs 13,999, according to the sources.

The Galaxy A12 is similar to the Galaxy M12 that went official a few hours back.

Also, both feature different patterns on their rear panel.

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.
