Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy F12 technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy F12 suits buyers who put a large battery first, although its hardware and some display qualities rank below most phones of its time. Its 6,000 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of that period; 15 W fast charging, however, is below most. The battery capacity stands out, while charging is more modest.

The PLS LCD display measures 6.5 inches, has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px and refreshes at 90 Hz, a typical figure for its time. Its 270 ppi density is worse than most, as is the phone’s 221 g weight; the body is 9.7 mm thick. The camera is typical for its time: a 48 MP sensor is joined by a 5 MP ultrawide camera, while the f/2 aperture is worse than most.

This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of expandable storage. The Exynos 850 scores 117,300 in AnTuTu, and the hardware ranks below most phones of its time. Connectivity also ranks below most. The phone has dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It runs Android 11 and has 2 years of operating system update support.

Its overall NeoScore is 4.5, with a typical overall standing among phones of its time. The Galaxy F12 makes more sense for buyers seeking a high-capacity battery than for those prioritizing performance or a high-density display.
