The post Samsung Galaxy A12 with Exynos 850 SoC and 5,000mAh battery launched in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Recently, a Samsung phone with model number SM-A127F / SM-A127M was spotted at the Bluetooth SIG certification site and Samsung Philippines support site. A recent leak claimed that it will debut as a new chipset variant of the Galaxy A12. The existing A12 is powered by the Helio P35 chip, but its new variant is expected to feature the Exynos 850 SoC by Samsung. Fresh findings from Google Play Console and Google’s Supported Devices list suggest that the device may debut as the Galaxy A12s.

The model number of the existing Galaxy A12 is SM-A125F. In the Google Supported Devices list, the SM-A127F/M handset is mentioned with the Galaxy A12 marketing name, and they are listed as “a12s” in the device column. Since the South Korean company is already selling a phone with the Galaxy A12 name, it is likely that the upcoming device could be called the Galaxy A12s.

The Galaxy A12s Google Play Console listing reveals that it features an HD resolution supporting display and Exynos 850 chipset. The Soc is coupled with 3 GB of RAM, and it runs on Android 11 OS. The listing further mentions that it has a fingerprint scanner. Probably, it could be integrated with the power button of the device.

The other details of the Galaxy A12s are not known yet. Since the device’s support page is live and it has appeared on Google Play Console, it is likely to go official later this month or early August.

The post Samsung Galaxy A12s could be Exynos 850 variant of Galaxy A12 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A12 in late November 2020. The smartphone started hitting the shelves across most regions in early 2021. Now, months later, the company is being reported to release a new version of this device.

According to a report by DealNTech, Samsung could soon release a new variant of the Galaxy A12 with model number SM-A127F. A support page for this handset is already live on one of the regional official websites of Samsung. This device has been also certified by Bluetooth SIG.

As per the source of the publication, the new Galaxy A12 will be powered by an Exynos 850 SoC instead of a MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, which is found inside the original model. In fact, this will be the only difference between the old and new variants.

Hence, the upcoming Galaxy A12 (SM-A127F) is expected to come with a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen with a dewdrop notch, 48MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, 8MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 15W fast charging.

It should also feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, a MicroSD card slot, a USB Type-C port,  and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Unfortunately, it’s not known whether it will debut with Android 10-based One UI Core 2.x or the latest One UI Core 3.x (Android 11), which was made available via OTA system update for the original model recently.

Samsung is yet to officially announce the launch date of this smartphone. Since it differs only in terms of the chip, it will most likely get a silent release.

The post Samsung Galaxy F02s, M02s, A12 prices increased in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A02s and Galaxy A12 in late November. Despite being announced at the end of 2020, these phones debuted with Android 10-based One UI Core 2.x. Now, months after their release, this duo is finally receiving the Android 11 update.

The Android 11 update for the Samsung Galaxy A02s and the Galaxy A12 arrives as One UI Core 3.1. Interestingly, the update is currently live in the same region for both handsets.

The Galaxy A02s and the Galaxy A12 Android 11 update is right now live in Russia with firmware version A025FXXU2BUDC and A125FXXU1BUE3 respectively. Apart from bringing new features and visual changes, the new software build also bumps up the security patch level.

However, the security patches rolling out with the One UI Core 3.1 update on the two phones are different. The Galaxy A02s is receiving the April 2021 security patches, whereas the Galaxy A12 is getting the latest May 2021 security patches.

Either way, the new system update for this duo is being pushed in batches. Hence, it might take some time to reach every unit out there in Russia as well as other markets. Users of these devices can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has got the update.

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. All variants of the Galaxy A12 come with a 5,000mAh battery, as well as other specs already highlighted at the November release.

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. However, no information was supplied for the 6GB variant of RAM with 128GB memory. It is suspected that the prices are effective from today and may be indicative of the plan of Samsung to go low with this release to the Indian market.

As a reminder, the Galaxy A12 sports a 6.5-inch HD+ screen with a waterdrop notch. The device also packs a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It is worth noting also that the 5,000mAh battery has 15W fast charging support, and a microSD card slot. The device has a quad rear camera system and providing the interface is the Android 10 OS.

Also, both feature different patterns on their rear panel.

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.

If that doesn’t satisfy you, the device, along with Helio P35 SoC, had appeared on a Geekbench listing way before the launch with the same SM-A125F model number. Anyway, the listing suggests that the launch could be anytime now.

Samsung has announced two new phones but you won’t be able to purchase them until next year. The two new phones are the Galaxy A12 and Galaxy A02s and they both have Infinity-V displays and 5000mAh batteries.

Galaxy A12

The Galaxy A12 has a 6.5-inch screen with an HD+ resolution. The screen has moderately sized bezels and inside the notch is an 8MP camera. The back of the phone is a slab of polycarbonate that has 75% of its area textured and the remaining part smoothened out.

At the top left corner is a squircle camera housing that has four cameras – a 48MP primary camera, a 5MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera.

Inside the phone is an unnamed octa-core processor with some of its cores clocked at 2.3GHz and the rest clocked at 1.8GHz. There are speculations that the processor is the Helio P35 from MediaTek.

The battery capacity is 5000mAh and it supports 15W fast charging. There is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and the bottom is home to an audio jack and USB port. Samsung does not say which operating system the phone is running but once we can confirm, we will update the post.

Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A11, a budget smartphone with a punch-hole display. After a while, its successor, expected to darn the Galaxy A12 moniker, appeared on the Geekbench listing recently. Now, the same device has appeared on Samsung’s official support page.

As reported by 91Mobiles, Samsung Russia’s official support page has listed a model number SM-A125F/DSN. Now, if we recall, an earlier report said that Samsung Galaxy A12 will have a model number SM-A125F. The new listing on Samsung’s support page is similar and corroborates the previous info. That said, apart from the model number, there is no info on the page.

Samsung Galaxy A12 Specifications(Expected)

However, thanks to early reports we know what features the device will likely bring to the table. As per a recent Geekbench listing, Galaxy A12 will sport the MediaTek’s Helio P35 SoC. This is a departure from the Qualcomm (Snapdragon 450 SoC) on the predecessor Galaxy A11. While the device tested on Geekbench had 3GB RAM, reports say that it will come with 32GB, and 64GB storage options. Hence, we can expect a higher 4GB variant as well.

Furthermore, reports say that the Galaxy A12 will be very similar to the predecessor. Thus, we can expect features like a punch-hole display at the front. At the back, the device is expected to retain the physical fingerprint sensor(capacitive) and come in Black, White, Blue, and Red colors.

That said, it will likely have other features like microSD card support, Android 10, triple rear cameras, NFC, and more. Precisely, if the device were to be similar to the Galaxy A11 as reports say, it could feature an HD+ display, 4,000mAh(or higher) battery with 15W fast charging. Let’s wait for concrete info to confirm the same but in any case, the listing suggests that the launch is very near.

In late August, a report revealed Samsung to be working on Galaxy A12 budget smartphone with model number SM-A125F. This handset is said to arrive in 32GB and 64GB storage variants. Now, two and a half months later, this device gets spotted on Geekbench revealing its chipset, RAM, and software.

Samsung trademarked Galaxy A12 branding along with other Ax2 names in late 2019 ahead of the launch of Galaxy Ax1 generation of devices. Now, almost a year later, this device is finally about to launch.

Ahead of it, the phone has visited Geekbench benchmarking platform exposing some of its specs. According to the listing (via 91Mobiles), the forthcoming Galaxy A12 will be powered by MediaTek helio P35 chipset paired with 3GB RAM. For the unaware, its predecessor, the Galaxy A11 features Qualcomm Snapdragon 450.

As for software, it will run Android 10 operating even though Android 11 is already out. But since it is a budget smartphone, we can give it a pass. But it should get the update to the latest Android version after launch.

Apart from the above-mentioned parameters, nothing else is known about the upcoming Galaxy A12, except for microSD card support and colors – Black, White, Red & Blue.

Samsung launched Galaxy A11 in March of this year as the cheapest Galaxy A series smartphone with a punch-hole display. Now, within five months of its release, a report says that the company is working on its successor called Galaxy A12, skipping Galaxy A11s.

This piece of information regarding the upcoming Galaxy A12 comes from SamMobile. According to the publication, the handset is in development with model number SM-A125F.

The only major difference between it and its predecessor will be a variant with higher internal storage. In case you do not know, the Galaxy A11 comes in two variants, one with 2GB RAM and another with 3GB RAM. However, both of them only feature 32GB internal storage with support for microSD card.

On the other hand, the forthcoming Galaxy A12 will also come in a 64GB storage configuration, in addition to a 32GB base version. But the amount of RAM present in both the variants is not known, however, it is confirmed to retain the capacitive fingerprint sensor. Also, it is said to come in four colors namely Black, White, Red, and Blue.

Although other specs of this Samsung budget smartphone is a mystery at the moment, one shouldn’t be surprised if it features the same 13MP (wide) + 5MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup and 4,000mAh or a slightly larger battery.

The revamped Galaxy A-series and the new Galaxy M-series from Samsung had received good reception from users and critics this year. Recent reports have revealed Samsung is working on the launch of its Galaxy A-series and Galaxy M-series smartphones. These phones are expected to break cover starting from the coming year. The Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 that were announced in December are expected to be the first Galaxy A-series 2020 phones to go on sale from this month. A tipster on Twitter has revealed that Samsung has trademark for new Galaxy A-series that may possibly debut in 2021. The trademark has been filed with SungAm Suh International Patent & Law Firm in South Korea.

The trademark filings reveal monikers such as Galaxy A12, Galaxy A22, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A42, Galaxy A52, Galaxy A62, Galaxy A72, Galaxy A82 and Galaxy A92. It is too early to talk about the specs of these phones as Samsung is expected to launch them in the coming year.

In 2019, Samsung launched Galaxy A-series phones from A10 to A90 in the first half of the year. In the second of 2019, it released the upgraded versions of those phones. The A-series of phones in 2H 2019 arrived with ‘s’ attached to their names. The South Korean company is expected to follow the same strategy this year. In 2020 first half, it is expected to debut Galaxy A11, Galaxy A21, Galaxy A31, Galaxy A41, Galaxy A51, Galaxy A61, Galaxy A71, Galaxy A81 and Galaxy A91 phones. The latter half of the year may see their upgraded editions such as Galaxy A11s, Galaxy A21s, Galaxy A31s and so on.

Hence, the newly trademarked phones seem to be Galaxy A-series phones for the year 2021. Since the company is expected to continue to launch a wide range of Galaxy A-series smartphone in 2021, it is likely to aggressively price and market the A-lineup this year to increase its popularity.

Some details of the upcoming Galaxy A11, Galaxy A31 and Galaxy A41 had appeared in November. Some reports have claimed that the Galaxy Note 10 Lite that is expected to go official at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020 tech event next week could be rebranded as Galaxy A81 in some markets. The CAD renders of the Galaxy A91v smartphone has also appeared. It could be Snapdragon 865 powered flagship phone that may arrive with a lower price tag than the Galaxy S11 series.
