PERFORMANCE

The Exynos 850 is a power-efficient processor and not a performance-oriented one. So, the Gaming experience is not that great.

You can play normal games like candy-crush but stay away from the heavy games like COD mobile. In day-to-day tasks, the phone performs really great like switching between apps and multitasking.

Samsung Galaxy M12 gives an AnTuTu score of 1,35,700 which is a good score for a Budget-segment phone.

CAMERA

Samsung Galaxy M12 provides a true 48 MP camera setup. Samsung claims this as a True 48 MP camera because it has Samsung's GM2 sensor.

It also has features like LED flash, panorama, and HDR.

M12 has a Quad camera setup :

1. 48MP primary camera with Samsung's GM2 sensor.
2. 5MP Ultra-wide angle lens with 123-degrees of FOV.
3. 2MP macro camera.
4. 2MP depth sensor.

The photos from the primary camera came out really good at this price point. The color saturation and the details of the photos are decent. The images also have a slightly warmer tone.

There are two problems with the camera on this device. First, the shutter is not the snappiest one. And, another problem is with the Focus speed. The focus speed is slightly slow.

The low-light shots are also not the best ones but they are better on this budget phone and the details are quite decent and impressive. The video experience from this phone is good as it can shoot videos at 1080p@30fps. The videos are quite stable but the phone does not provide OIS or EIS. 

The photos from the Ultra-wide angle lens are also good and the lens also has 123-degrees of FOV. 

The photos from the macro and the depth sensor shots are also decent. But, the macro shots lack some details, and also a color shift has been noticed on the macro camera.

The portrait shots are really great for this price. The images do not lack details and the colors look quite impressive and natural.

Samsung Galaxy M12 has an 8MP selfie camera which works quite decent. The selfie camera can also shoot videos at 1080p@30fps which is quite interesting. The selfie camera features HDR mode.

Overall, the camera performs a Better job at this price. And, the image qualities will definitely not disappoint you.
