vivo has announced a new mid-range smartphone called the vivo Y12s. The handset is already available for purchase in some Asian markets such as Hong Kong and Vietnam.

On the back of the smartphone is the vertical camera unit, which includes a 13MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and an additional 2MP lens with an f/2.4 aperture for portrait shots. On the front side, there is an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
The vivo Y12s runs the MediaTek Helio P35 SoC. Along with it, we have a set of 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The smartphone also has a microSD card slot for expanding the storage. The firmware is FunTouch OS version 11 based on Android 10. The model has a 5000 mAh battery, which supports charging power of only 10 watts.
