Although it had been leaking for several months, it was last February when Samsung officially presented the Galaxy M12 in Vietnam. Now this new member of the entry range from the South Korean company finally lands in Europe to succeed last year’s Galaxy M11.

Compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy M12 maintains the large 5,000 mAh battery, but incorporates important new features, among which stand out a quadruple rear camera instead of a triple one and a screen with a notch instead of a perforated panel. Of course, the price has also risen a few euros.
