It’s been more than 3 years since Apple released the iPhone 12. So is it still valid in 2024?
If we talk about the build quality, the iPhone 12 looks very high quality. Its body is made of glass and its frames are made of aluminum, and the device itself is very light and thin. It is also protected from water and dust according to the IP68 standard.
iPhone 12 has a 6.1-inch diagonal OLED display. The maximum brightness of this diagonal is 625 nits, in automatic mode for HDR content – up to 1000 nits. That’s right, the screen refresh rate is only 60 Hz.
iPhone 12 runs on the latest version of iOS 17. Overall it is very fast and hassle free and will last for at least the next few years.
One of the problems of this smartphone is the amount of RAM and storage memory. The RAM here is only 4 GB and the ROM is 64 GB.
The iPhone 12 has two cameras on the back: the main lens and the wide-angle camera. The resolution of both is 12 MP. This smartphone also has a night mode. The front camera of the iPhone 12 has a resolution of 12 MP and takes excellent photos during the day. You can record videos at 4K 60fps and the quality is excellent.
Finally, the iPhone 12 is equipped with stereo speakers. Another significant disadvantage is the battery. In any case, you will have to charge your smartphone every evening because this will definitely not be enough for the whole day.
Overall, you would be much better off buying the newer iPhone 13 or 14 instead of the iPhone 12. Will the iPhone 12 be good in 2024? If you can put up with the not-so-great battery life, this device will be worth it.
