The Samsung Galaxy A12 is expected to sport the same internals as the Samsung Galaxy A11.

Samsung Galaxy A12 will come with 32GB and 64GB storage variants, as per a report. It added that the phone will not be ‘drastically different' from its entry-level predecessor, the Galaxy A11.

It features a triple rear camera setup with a 13-megapixel primary sensor, a 5-megapixel, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The phone packs a 4,000mAh battery and supports 15W fast charging.

According to a report by SamMobile, the rumoured Galaxy A12 will be another budget phone in the South Korean company's A Series of smartphone portfolio. According to the report, apart from the additional storage option over its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy A11, there won't be a ‘drastic difference' between the two phones. The phone is said to have a 32GB variant as well as a rumoured 64GB model. However, there is no information on whether the 64GB version will have the same 3GB RAM, or if it will come with more RAM.

Further, the report claims that the Galaxy A12 is expected to have the same LCD display as well as the triple camera system as its predecessor. It also says that there is a capacitive fingerprint sensor, and it may feature a larger battery. Additionally, the Galaxy A12 is said to be offered in black, white, red and blue colour options. It is to be noted that Samsung filed trademark applications for the Samsung Galaxy A12 smartphone in January.
