Since that didn't transpire, we can only assume that the phone will appear on shelves in the county any day now. An alleged specs sheet for the local variant of the Galaxy A12 has now surfaced, hinting further at an imminent release. If the leaked table is to be believed, Samsung won't really be altering the hardware on the Galaxy A12 at all. The only notable detail being that the Indian version will only be...

Just a few days after JerryRigEverything showed us how durable Xiaomi's new Mi 11 is, he's back with a new video and this time it's about the insides of the phone.
