The Galaxy F12 is more or less a replica of the Galaxy M12 that was launched in India just last month. The phone packs a 6.5-inch LCD HD+ display with a 90Hz screen refresh rate and 1600 x 720 resolution. On the inside, the Galaxy F12 is powered by the Exynos 850 SoC, paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB flash storage.

On the back, the phone has a quad-camera setup which consists of a 48MP ISOCELL HM2 primary sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. The device packs a 6,000mAh battery with 15W charging support and comes running Android 11 out-of-the-box with One UI 3.1 Core.

The nominal design differences aside, there’s nothing new in the Galaxy F12 hardware-wise that’s not already offered by the Galaxy M12. The display is the same, the cameras (except the ultra-wide) are the same, the SoC and battery are the same, and even the pricing is the same.

Galaxy F12: Pricing & Availability

The Galaxy F12 is priced at ₹10,999 (~$150) for the base 4GB + 64GB model and ₹11,999 (~$163) for the top 4GB + 128GB variant. The phone comes in Sea Green, Sky Blue, and Celestial Black colors and will go on sale from Flipkart, Samsung.com, and leading offline retailers starting April 14. ICICI credit and debit card users can avail of a flat ₹1000 discount.
