Samsung Vietnam has revealed the online launch details earlier today and confirmed that the Galaxy M12 will be available from Shopee in two configurations. The entry-level model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage will be released in two color options: black and green. Similarly, the variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage will also be released in two colors: black and blue.
Prospective buyers are looking at a suggested retail price of 3,490,000 VND ($151) for the model with 3GB of RAM. Those who may want to purchase the 4GB variant will have to pay 3,890,000 VND or the rough equivalent of $168.
The Galaxy M12 will be available in Vietnam from Shopee's e-commerce website starting May 5. Samsung Vietnam is also offering a 200,000 VND ($9) discount and a free phone case for early buyers. Meanwhile, the company has paired the 4GB / 64GB Galaxy M12 with an extended Samsung Care+ warranty of 24 months.
As to whether or not the Galaxy M12 is worth it, well, it's a surprisingly good budget phone with a 90Hz refresh rate display. Nope, that's not a typo. The Galaxy M12 is Samsung's most affordable smartphone with a high refresh rate display to date. You can read more about it in our review linked below.
