Geek Review
Coming to our opinion about this OPPO A12, The phone comes with good specs like dual camera setup, 4GB+64GB storage option and more, but while coming to the price which is around Rs.12000 is not compatible according to the specs they offer. There are other smartphones too in this price segment and offering good value of money like Redmi Note 9, Realme 5S and more.
There is no official information about the launch date of Oppo A12 in India. So we have to wait to see at what price point OPPO launch this smartphone.
