Both these smartphones offer similar specifications and they share the same design language as well. The Galaxy M12 and the Galaxy F12 were launched in India with a starting price of ₹10,990. Now, these handsets have received the silent price hike treatment by Samsung.
The company has increased the prices of these devices by ₹500. However, the South Korean firm has not revealed the reason behind this step. It is obvious that the increased cost of the component, chipset shortage, and supply chain issues are the major reason why most smartphone manufacturers are increasing the prices of their devices.
