Vivo is a brand that is from the same family as Oppo, Realme and OnePlus; all of which are owned by BBK Electronics. More similar to Oppo and Realme, Vivo also produces a lot of options that are in an affordable range, making smartphones accessible to more people. The Vivo Y12s is a lower mid-range device that can do well as a budget buy or a secondary rough use device and it features DualSIM.

Vivo Y12s OS and internals

With an Android base, this device has the Android 10 OS which has Machine Learning. This feature helps it be a lot more optimised in its regular resource management. In the long run, this lets the device become more efficient based on the user's patterns. Layered onto this is FunTouch 11, a software from Vivo. This gives users a more fun interface and also features that bare Android lacks.

These features can be customizations of the animations and icons. Or other stuff like Dark Mode or Focus Modes.

As with most mid-range devices, the Y12s also has a MediaTek chipset, namely the MT6765 Helio P35 that was made using the 12nm method. It has an integrated GPU, the PowerVR GE8320, which takes on some of the visual load to ease the workings of the main processor. This GPU has enough power to handle affordable gaming.

There is 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. In case you want to add on more storage that is possible via a microSD card, with compatibility up to 256GB.

At 6.51 inches the display is more than ample viewing space. The resolution is at 720 x 1600 pixels, a near HD display with a pixel density of 270 pixels per inch. Based on IPS LCD technology means it is generally a good display and one gets clear visuals.

There are dual cameras on the main side, with the first at 13MP f/2.2 and the second at 2MP f/2.4 that is there for depth sensing. On the front, there is a selfie camera with a lens of 8MP that has an aperture of f/1.8. Both sides can shoot video with a resolution of 1080p and a frame rate of 30fps.

The app also allows for various modes such as HDR and Pano. It makes use of phase-detection for autofocusing, letting it hone in quick.
