More phone, Less price

Budget phones are the new trend. Everyone in the market wants a slice of the budget smartphone segment. And why shouldn't they? Almost every major smartphone manufacturer grew last year because of budget smartphones within their lineup. It does not take a genius to put 2 and 2 together and therefore Samsung made the Galaxy M12 Power, a budget smartphone that ticks almost all the right boxes. Here's all you need to know.

What's In The Box

Inside the box of the Samsung Galaxy M12 smartphone, you'll get a 15-watt charger, a USB Type-C cable, and some documentation. Samsung does not include a clear case inside the box anymore. Which is a sad thing. I recently tested the Samsung Galaxy A52 smartphone. It was a great device but it too came without a back cover and a front tempered glass.

The phone does feature a dual sim and a dedicated micro-sd card slot. This means you can opt for the lower variant and use an SD card to expand your storage.

Construction And Design

The Samsung Galaxy M12 is neatly built. The phone is a little heavy, 220g to be precise but it comes with a dual-tone textured back which makes it easy to grip this phone. The device has a quad-camera setup but a negligible amount of camera bump. As a result, the phone doesn't wobble when you keep it on a flat surface without a cover.

The phone also features a fingerprint sensor with a built-in power button and it works quite reliably and very fast. I didn't notice any lag while unlocking the phone. Apart from this, a headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, a downward-firing speaker, and volume rockers are also present on the Samsung M12.
