Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho With Quad Rear Cameras, 20:9 Display Launched: Price, Specifications

Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho has quietly been launched in Russia by the South Korean company as an upgrade to its Galaxy A12. On the specifications front, the new smartphone is quite similar to the original Galaxy A12 that arrived in November last year.

The launch of the Galaxy A12 Nacho notably comes at a time when Samsung is busy preparing for the next Galaxy Unpacked event where it is unveiling its new foldable phones that could be called the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
