Galaxy A12 s/w support, better than OnePlus 6

Just like the OnePlus 6 flagship, the Galaxy A12 budget phone is eligible for two major Android OS upgrades, which makes it a great deal instead of wasting money purchasing Chinese phones that are still waiting for the second/last Android switch.

Coming back, Samsung is rolling out the new Galaxy A12 s/w update gradually so it may take a bit longer to be available for every unit internationally. If you live in India, Brazil, or Germany, then check for updates manually by opening device Settings >> Software updates >> Download and install.
