128GB under PHP 8K!

What we are talking about is the newly launched Galaxy A12.

Starting at just PHP 7,990, this budget phone is one of the most affordable in the Philippines equipped with 128GB expandable storage. This memory size can let you store about 1,000 photos, 20 movies, 60 minutes of UHD videos, and plenty of apps as well as heavy games even if you don't have microSD storage.

Moreover, it has good looks and respectable overall specs for the price.

At the back, it comes with a stylish back cover with textured patterns in Black, White, Red, and Blue colors. In front, it uses a pretty large 6.4-inch LCD (PLS TFT) screen with HD+ resolution and an Infinity-V notch for the 8MP shooter.

Inside, it uses MediaTek's 12nm Helio P35 octa-core processor. This is not the fastest chip for the price, but it is paired with 4GB or 6GB RAM to help it multitask better than phones with lesser RAM sizes.

For cameras, it boasts a 48MP f/2.0 main cam, 5MP wide cam, and 2x 2MP cameras for macro and depth effects. 

It even has the Samsung Knox multi-layered security that defends your most sensitive information from malware and other malicious threats.
