Samsung on Tuesday announced the Galaxy A12 and A02S, two new entry-level phones set to launch next year in Europe. The A12 is designed to be a successor to the A11, sporting a 6.5-inch HD+ display, an octa-core processor, a fingerprint sensor on the side, and a respectable 5,000mAh battery. Photos are covered by a quad-array of cameras on the back, including a 48-megapixel main sensor. The A02S, while offering the same display and battery, is more limited, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (though you can expand storage with its microSD slot), no fingerprint sensor and a 13-megapixel main sensor. The A12 sells for EUR200 (CAD310) for the high end version, with 128GB and 6GB or RAM. The A02S is priced at EUR150 (CAD232).
