In the previous few years, Samsung has been aggressive in terms of smartphone launches. Importantly, the South Korean giant is regaining the worldwide market at a steady pace. Modern Samsung smartphones attract customers from different budget pockets.
By all means, the ‘M’ series Samsung smartphones was major news in the Indian market. Equally interesting series was the ‘A’ series. You might quickly recall the Galaxy A10, A20, A51 and A71. In addition to these famous smartphones, Samsung has announced new ‘A’ series phones.
The A12 and A02s are the new Galaxy smartphones which can attract specific customers. Let us take a look at Samsung’s new offerings.
SAMSUNG GALAXY A12
First and foremost, it is evident that the A12 will be launched in the year 2021. However, Indian customers might have to wait for some time.
The South Korean giant, at this time, announced the launch of these smartphones for the European market.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT SAMSUNG GALAXY A12 SO FAR?
The following highlights are predominant in the Samsung Galaxy A12 information:
- The Galaxy A12 will boast a 6.5 inches display. Therefore, playing games, watching videos and reading text will certainly be a convenient venture.
- Apart from the excellent display quality, a 5000 mAh battery is on the cards.
- Basically, latest Samsung smartphones in India run on the Exynos processor. While it is true that many tech enthusiasts prefer a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Samsung’s Exynos garners respectable benchmark scores too.
- However, for the A12, an Octa-core processor can be expected. Still, the chipset is an unknown parameter.
- In terms of design, Samsung has opted for their famous dewdrop notch look. So, no punch-hole this time too!
- Finally, a RAM-Internal storage combination of a conventional sense constitutes the main specs of the Samsung Galaxy A12.
All in all, this Samsung smartphone will cost approximately around:
| Galaxy model | USD ($) | EU (€) |
| A12 | 212/- | 179/- |
Hence, if the A12 receives good response in January 2021, Samsung could decide to launch it in India too. However, at this time, there is no absolute information regarding the arrival of Galaxy A12 in India.
Still, if one has to speculate, the approximate price conversion in the Indian rupee lies somewhere around ₹ 16000/- mark. Thus, it is interesting to see if the Galaxy A12 is a Europe-only exclusive smartphone.
However, if Samsung announces this smartphone for the Indian market, the processor chipset will be an intriguing factor to behold. Stay tuned to our blogs for updated information about the same.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT SAMSUNG GALAXY A02S SO FAR?
The major attraction, as per sources, concerned with Galaxy A02s is the processor chipset. The Galaxy A02s will run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 450. Still, some noteworthy points are:
- The display size will be same as that of Galaxy A12. A 6.5 inches HD plus display will continue the march of Samsung in the dominance of attractive display phones.
- Even the battery capacity is similar to the Samsung Galaxy A12. Importantly, the modern-day user prefers batteries over 4000 mAh. Hence, a 5000 mAh battery capacity is a welcome inclusion.
- The Snapdragon 450 isn’t a high-end processor. Although, it can complement all the features for the starting price tag of € 150/-.
- As per sources, the Samsung Galaxy A02s will be available from February 2021.
Notably, the A02s does not possess a fingerprint scanner. So, some customers might be disappointed. Also, the RAM capacity is 3 GB. Hence, it is certainly not meant for avid gamers.
All in all, this Samsung smartphone will cost approximately around:
| Galaxy model | USD ($) | EU (€) |
| A02s | 178/- | 150/- |
For Indian readers, the price conversion at this time hovers around the ₹ 13000/- mark. Nevertheless, this statistic is just for a rough idea about the pricing. It does not hold true in terms of official announcements.
CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO SAMSUNG SMARTPHONES:
The A12 and A02s are analogous Galaxy smartphones. However, they have some notable differences.
| Parameter | Samsung Galaxy A12 | Samsung Galaxy A02s |
| Rear camera setup | Quad | Triple |
| RAM options | Multiple | Single |
Despite being economical smartphones, the overall look of both models is elegant. Hence, it will be interesting to see the interest of customers in these entry-level Samsung smartphones.
IF THEY ARRIVE IN INDIA, SHOULD I BUY THEM?
This is, indeed, the most exigent query. Also, it is the most logical too! At this time, the Galaxy A12 and A02s are announced solely for European customers. Still, they might follow launches in America and India later.
So, if this happens, (Samsung announces Galaxy A12 and A02s for India) should you be interested? To help you answer this question, the following points will prove conducive:
BUY IF:
- You are interested in Samsung’s reputation.
- You have a mid-range budget.
- You don’t bother with stock Android.
- You want a smartphone with good battery capacity.

Since hands-on reviews aren’t available at this time, it is better to refrain from commenting about performance and camera quality. However, the above factors are general points which stay the same. Nevertheless, it is advisable to buy new phones after reading several reviews on different websites.
THE CONCLUSION
It will be interesting to keep an eye on Samsung’s announcements for the Indian market. Furthermore, if A12 and A02s arrive in India, the pricing will be another curious criterion. The ‘A’ series Samsung smartphones garnered mostly positive reviews from customers.
