Well, I'm not ready to give up my phone yet despite being laggy😅

My A12 became my semi-secondary device for now since I'm still using it almost to everything and to sync stuffs with my laptop with Link to Windows, stream movies and music, for reading ebooks and also for fitness (my primary phone is Oppo A76 for a while, but the syncing of stuff is much integrated in my Galaxy A12 since Windows and Samsung have a great integration or a seamless compatibility, also the Samsung Health is not well working to my non samsung device despite samsung created a play store version of the app for the non-samsung devices) so still I'm using my A12 for fitness.

I'm thinking if I'll buy the Galaxy A16 5g because of the long software updates support (6 major updates). (Any reviews about this phone?)

Glad you're still thinking about Galaxy! Might I suggest a step up in our A series - the Galaxy A55 5G is an awesome upgrade from the A12, and also features Circle to Search! http://smsng.co/A555G-SM1

You can still use your a12 if still in good condition, thou i suggest not to install or uninstall if you already diid any monetary apps, since your unit will no longer received security updates.

Thanks for that! My A12 is still in good condition, only the battery that can now only last up to 3-4 hours screen on time (yeah, not fun to use it since you need to carry a charger or powerbank on this point haha), and 1 day if on standby. I have no monetary apps installed.


For now i just barely connect my A12 to the internet if i have to sync some stuffs like google apps, samsung apps (especially the Samsung Health data), Link to Windows and app updates for at least once or twice a week.
