Samsung's new Galaxy A12 offers quad camera and massive battery on the cheap

If you've been waiting for a Samsung phone that covers the basics at a price that won't make you cry, the new Galaxy A12 might fit the bill. 

The phone has a 6.5-inch, HD+ display with a V-shaped notch in the middle, a quad 48/5/2/2-megapixel camera, and an 8-megapixel selfie camera.

It also features a 5,000mAh battery. Last year's Galaxy A11 only had a triple rear camera and a 4,000mAh battery, so this is a pretty big upgrade. 

The phone has an octa-core chip (Samsung doesn't say which one), and 3/4/6GB of RAM, and 32/64/128GB of storage, depending on the configuration you choose.
