The recently launched Samsung Galaxy M12 is the successor of Galaxy M11 that was launched in India last year. The device comes with a massive 6,000mAh battery, waterdrop-style display and a quad rear camera set up. With all these features today we will talk about its pros and cons as it has arrived with some improvements over its predecessor. So let’s find out how well it performed in our Samsung Galaxy M12 review.
In This Article
Design
Let’s start first with the built quality and the design of the Samsung Galaxy M12. If you look at the rear of the phone it has a new textured finish while the bottom area features a smooth finish, which looks refreshing and feels good too. The best part about this design is that it does not attract smudges or fingerprints and feels great while holding. The weight of the phone is 221g that feels bulky when you hold it but considering it houses a massive 6,000mAh battery, it is ok. Also, the mobile phone is 9.7mm thick and because of its thickness, the camera bump is less visible, which is also good as it does not wobble when it lays flat on the surface.If we compare it to the design of M11, with the latest version, instead of a rear fingerprint sensor it now sports a side-mounted one. Honestly, we recently reviewed the Galaxy A32, which comes with an under-display sensor that either took a long time to open or too many failed attempts, however, it is refreshing to seeM12 side sensor unlocks the device much faster. Just above the power/fingerprint scanner is the volume rocker, which again is well placed. On the left frame is the sim tray and the headphone jack, USB Type C port with a single firing speaker grill is given at the bottom.Moving on to the display, where you get a 6.5-inch HD+ TFT Infinity-V Display. The screen offers 720×1,600 pixels of resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The best part about the display is that it supports a 90Hz refresh rate. But we would have loved it more if Samsung would have gone for an FHD display or an AMOLED one. However, the viewing angles are decent. The screen is smooth and is bright enough to look at in direct sunlight also. The screen is WIDEVINE L1 certified, which makes HD video streaming pleasurable. Overall, the display looks pretty sharp but the colours could have been better.
Performance and camera
Talking about the internals, Samsung Galaxy M12 is powered by the Exynos 850 SoC based on an 8nm process. The review unit we have tested is the 6GB RAM with a 128GB storage version. It can handle day to day stuff and multitasking just fine. To compensate Samsung has provided the 90Hz refresh rate panel along with the One UI Core OS. This phone is only meant for casual gaming. We played Call of Duty on medium graphics and at High frame rate settings in which we experienced a few stutters now and then. So for heavy gamers, this device is not recommended for you. Samsung here provides Android-based One UI 3.1 but that is also a core version instead of a full version of One UI. The biggest drawback of the core version is that here you don’t get a secure folder, Knox security and more. The UI feels clean, although the phone does come with some apps pre-installed such as Amazon, Netflix, PhonePe and Snapchat. But these can also be uninstalled. Now coming to the camera performance, Samsung Galaxy M12 has a quad-camera setup, which includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor with f/2.0 aperture, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 123-degree field of view, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Upfront, you get an 8-megapixel selfie camera with f/2.2 aperture.M12 produces beautiful shots in a well-lit environment. The pictures have good details, are sharp, and the colours are close to natural. As there is a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens so don’t expect detailed and sharp images however it offers a 123-degree field of view which is quite good. While the portrait images are impressive and edge detection is on point, also colours look natural. On the other hand, we were a bit not ecstatic about the macro shots, it just gets the work done.In terms of selfies, if there is ample lighting the subject’s details, skin tone, exposure everything is on point but in low light, the camera sensor struggles to produce well-lit-like images. Also, there is no dedicated night mode. So when it comes to night time images from the front and the rear cameras, performance slightly dips and is not great. As you would see if the images are taken in a low lit environment the images are grainy and lack details. Video recording on the other hand is just average as there is no stabilisation on the front as well as on the rear camera set up.So considering the price point, we are quite satisfied with the camera performance.Before we conclude let’s talk about the battery performance. The Samsung Galaxy M12 comes with a 6,000mAh battery. Even on heavy usage and multiple hours of gaming, it was able to deliver a day more hours of battery life. However, the average users can stretch it to two or more days. But when it comes to charging, the company ships a 15W fast charger that easily takes 3 hours to get fully charged.
Verdict
So in the end we would say Samsung Galaxy M12 is a decent performer and would not disappoint you at all as it comes with a 90Hz panel, a 6,000mAh battery, good performing cameras and Android 11 out of the box. So we would actually recommend you this phone if you are looking for a good sturdy budget phone.Pros90Hz refresh rate screen48-megapixel quad rear cameraAndroid 116,000mAh batteryAffordableConsLacks FHD displayNight Mode is missingVideo stabilisation is missing

According to the latest report, changing the name of your YouTube channel has become hassle-free. The old way of changing your channel name was very time consuming but now the users can change it very easily, which is an appreciated move as it was a highly demanded feature by creators on the video streaming platform. In accordance with the report by The Verge, YouTube will now allow the YouTube creators to change their channel’s name and profile picture without impacting the entire Google Account. This feature has now been rolled out to all the users and is applicable to both personal as well as brand accounts. Earlier, YouTubers were required to update their name and icon for their entire Google account with the purpose that their name on YouTube would match as the one on their Gmail account. With the new change, users will be able to now send an email with their actual name instead of the channel’s name, which means they are not required to change their Gmail account’s name.On the flip side, the verified accounts will lose their verification badge that is the checkmark if they change their name. In spite of everything, YouTube creators will be able to again apply for the verification in order to receive the badge. As we said before the new YouTube name changing feature will be accessible to both personal and brand accounts.

A Super Moon is a natural phenomenon in which the full moon occurs on a day when it is closest to the earth. The peak illumination is expected to occur tonight i.e. April 26, 2021, at 11.33 PM EDT. As the moon rises above the horizon, it will take a golden pink hue. The event will be visible through the naked eye. However, you may also want to make it memorable by capturing it using your smartphone.
In This Article
How can you click the best pictures of the pink moon using your smartphone camera?
To click amazing pictures of the super moon using your smartphone, follow these steps.
Ensure that you get a clear view
No matter how good you are at clicking pictures, you can’t capture the best picture of the super moon unless you get a good view of the moon. You may take the pictures even through your window. But, the window frame does not allow you to freely set the angle. Moreover, your view may get obstructed by trees, walls or a building. For best shots, you should go to your balcony or terrace so that you get a complete view of the moon.
Use a tripod
Capturing a moon is different from capturing an object on the ground. While capturing the moon, you have to look up and keep your smartphone facing the moon. Getting a good shot requires at least five clicks. Holding your smartphone at a higher angle may exhaust your energy. This may degrade your performance after each click. To ensure that you get an enhanced image after each click, mount your smartphone on a tripod. This will allow you to freely change the angle to get a perfect shot.

Use the night mode
Clicking pictures at night using a smartphone is a challenge due to the limited capability of the camera. Nowadays, smartphones feature the night mode that uses advanced algorithms to get outstanding images even in low-light conditions. Once you enable the night mode, keep your smartphone stable to capture sufficient light to produce a bright picture.
Utilise the optical zoom feature to its max
Moon is a distant object that is approximately 384,400 km away from earth. Without using a telescope, it becomes a difficult task to get the details of the moon surface. Without using the zooming capability of a smartphone camera, you get nothing more than a big white spot on the display. Nowadays, smartphones come with a telephoto lens with outstanding zooming capabilities. Some premium smartphone feature up to 30x optical zoom. Expand the zoom to its max but keep the digital zoom limited to avoid tearing of pixels.

Prevention is indeed better than cure. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has compelled everyone to take extra care of their health. Considering the pressure on the health system, taking pro-active measures is the most effective way to win over the pandemic.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been trying scientific as well as household methods to boost their immunity. The pandemic has substantially instilled medical awareness in people throughout the globe. Now, terms like a pulse-oximeter, antibodies, virus-chain, and herd-immunity are not restricted to a biotech lab. They have become a part of general human awareness.

What is a pulse-oximeter?
Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive scientific method to determine and monitor a person’s SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) level. A pulse oximeter is a compact and portable device that tells the SpO2 level conveniently and without pain or piercing. Pulse-oximeters range across various types and sizes. However, the most used clinical pulse-oximeter easily fits onto the fingertips and in a few moments. Almost all pulse oximeters take about 8 to 15 seconds to determine a person’s SpO2 levels. Some specialised oximeters can tell the reading of a person’s blood saturation level in merely three seconds.
What should you consider before buying a pulse oximeter?
The demand for the pulse oximeter has shot up especially in India where the COVID-19 cases have been incessantly rising for the past few weeks. This has put a pressure on the manufacturing units leading to scarcity of the medical supplies including pulse oximeter. Although the government has facilitated the manufacturing of the device, some people are taking advantage of the situation. Cases of black-marketing and faulty medical resources have been observed in several stats in India.
Before you buy a pulse oximeter, you must verify the product on the following metrics.
Type
There are three kinds of pulse oximeters. Each type is designed for a different purpose. You can’t choose a pulse oximeter by merely skimming through a list of products. You need to know the usage of each variety. The pulse oximeter comes in the following three types.
Fetal pulse oximeter: This is made for hospital use and needs specialised knowledge to use it.
Handheld oximeter: This is also a complex device designed for hospital use.
Fingertip pulse oximeter: This is the most portable version to be used for domestic as well as medical usage.
Before you buy a pulse oximeter, note the technical words. Do not forget to include the term ‘fingertip’ in the search field to get the desired pulse oximeter.
What should you consider before buying a pulse oximeter?
Price
The price of pulse oximeters generally lies between ₹1,000 and ₹5,000. Choose to buy the device from a registered shop or on a reliable platform. Do not get tempted by sellers or websites claiming to sell the same device at a much cheaper price. Those products may be faulty or smuggled. Moreover, refrain from paying an exorbitant price. The government regulations restrict the shopkeepers from selling the medical supplies beyond the market price.
Certifications
For the general public, judging the efficacy of a pulse-oximeter may not be possible. The only way to get assured of the accuracy and validity of a pulse oximeter is through genuine certifications. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare approves the medical devices including pulse-oximeters. The Quality Council of India (QCI) and the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) check these devices against international quality standards.
With some awareness, you can buy the right pulse-oximeter for you and track your health during the ongoing pandemic.

If we compare it to the design of M11, with the latest version, instead of a rear fingerprint sensor it now sports a side-mounted one. Honestly, we recently reviewed the Galaxy A32, which comes with an under-display sensor that either took a long time to open or too many failed attempts, however, it is refreshing to seeM12 side sensor unlocks the device much faster. Just above the power/fingerprint scanner is the volume rocker, which again is well placed. On the left frame is the sim tray and the headphone jack, USB Type C port with a single firing speaker grill is given at the bottom.
Moving on to the display, where you get a 6.5-inch HD+ TFT Infinity-V Display. The screen offers 720×1,600 pixels of resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The best part about the display is that it supports a 90Hz refresh rate. But we would have loved it more if Samsung would have gone for an FHD display or an AMOLED one. However, the viewing angles are decent. The screen is smooth and is bright enough to look at in direct sunlight also. The screen is WIDEVINE L1 certified, which makes HD video streaming pleasurable. Overall, the display looks pretty sharp but the colours could have been better.
Samsung here provides Android-based One UI 3.1 but that is also a core version instead of a full version of One UI. The biggest drawback of the core version is that here you don’t get a secure folder, Knox security and more. The UI feels clean, although the phone does come with some apps pre-installed such as Amazon, Netflix, PhonePe and Snapchat. But these can also be uninstalled.
Now coming to the camera performance, Samsung Galaxy M12 has a quad-camera setup, which includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor with f/2.0 aperture, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 123-degree field of view, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Upfront, you get an 8-megapixel selfie camera with f/2.2 aperture.
M12 produces beautiful shots in a well-lit environment. The pictures have good details, are sharp, and the colours are close to natural. As there is a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens so don’t expect detailed and sharp images however it offers a 123-degree field of view which is quite good. While the portrait images are impressive and edge detection is on point, also colours look natural. On the other hand, we were a bit not ecstatic about the macro shots, it just gets the work done.
In terms of selfies, if there is ample lighting the subject’s details, skin tone, exposure everything is on point but in low light, the camera sensor struggles to produce well-lit-like images. Also, there is no dedicated night mode. So when it comes to night time images from the front and the rear cameras, performance slightly dips and is not great. As you would see if the images are taken in a low lit environment the images are grainy and lack details. Video recording on the other hand is just average as there is no stabilisation on the front as well as on the rear camera set up.
So considering the price point, we are quite satisfied with the camera performance.
Before we conclude let’s talk about the battery performance. The Samsung Galaxy M12 comes with a 6,000mAh battery. Even on heavy usage and multiple hours of gaming, it was able to deliver a day more hours of battery life. However, the average users can stretch it to two or more days. But when it comes to charging, the company ships a 15W fast charger that easily takes 3 hours to get fully charged.
