Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho 3 GB / 32 GB / Global / SM-A127F technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho suits buyers looking for a large-screen Android phone with IP68 protection; its main trade-offs are a low pixel density and performance below that of most phones of its time.
Its 6.5-inch PLS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution, 270 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. Pixel density is lower than on most phones launched around the same time, and the refresh rate is among the weakest. This configuration has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage. The processor is a Samsung Exynos 850, and its AnTuTu result is lower than that of most phones of its time.
The 48 MP rear camera is joined by a 5 MP ultrawide camera, a 2 MP macro camera and a 2 MP depth camera. The 48 MP camera’s f/2 aperture is worse than most, and optical image stabilization is absent. The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh; its 15 W charging is slower than that of most phones of its time. At 205 g, the phone also weighs more than most. IP68 protection, NFC, USB-C and dual Nano-SIM round out the features. It runs Android 11 and has two years of OS update support. Its overall NeoScore is 4.8. This is an option for anyone prioritizing a large display, water and dust resistance, and expandable storage, while accepting the limitations in display specifications, performance and charging.
