Samsung Galaxy M12 has a 90Hz display, 6,000mAh battery, and an affordable price tag

Hot on the heels of the Galaxy A32 launch in India earlier this month, Samsung is back with yet another smartphone. The company has just refreshed its budget-friendly Galaxy M series with the launch of the Galaxy M12. The Galaxy M12 is a direct successor to the Galaxy M11 and offers several notable improvements over its forerunner, including a 90Hz display, a 6,000mAh battery, and more memory on the base variant. With competitive specification and pricing, Samsung is pushing hard to give Xiaomi’s recently launched Redmi Note 10 some much-needed competition in the budget segment.
