vivo Y12 features and specification

Performance

vivo Y12 comes powered by a 2GHz Octa-Core MediaTek Helio P22 processor. It is a decent processor, offering acceptable processing speed when launching apps. It can also handle multiple apps in the background without lag. While you can enjoy light gaming, it is not exactly a gaming device. It stutters and gets heated up during intensive gaming.

The processor comes paired with 3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB internal storage, which is fine, given the affordable price. Additionally, you can expand the storage up to 256GB via a microSD card, making more storage for app data and multimedia files. Regarding the OS, it has Funtouch OS 9 based on Android 9.0.

Battery life and charging

vivo Y12 packs a massive 5,000 mAh battery. It can easily last a day of casual usage, including web browsing, calling, texting, watching videos, and clicking pictures. However, it comes with a 10 W charger, which is not blazing fast. It takes around 1 hour and 50 minutes to refuel the phone from 0 to 100%.

Display

The vivo Y12 flaunts a 6.35-inch LCD HD+ screen with a 720 x 1544-pixel resolution and a pixel density of 268 ppi. The standout feature of the display is the Halo FullView display with a 19.3:9 aspect ratio. The device has razor-thin bezels on all sides, stretching the screen-to-body ratio to 89%.

Though there are several smartphones with Full HD+ screens under the same budget, the vivo Y12 display is not bad. It offers accurate colours and adequate colour contrast, ensuring a pleasant viewing experience. The viewing angles are good too. The brightness levels are also decent. However, you may face slight issues when using the phone under direct sunlight.

Since the vivo Y12’s display has a 720 x 1544-pixel resolution, you cannot stream Full HD content.

Camera specifications

The vivo Y12 packs a triple rear camera configuration with a 13MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. The daylight shots are good, with rich details, and accurate colours. However, at dawn and night, the main camera suffers and captures images with noise.

The AI super-wide-angle camera expands the view to 120 degrees, letting you capture landscapes efficiently. The performance of the macro lens is satisfactory.

When it comes to the front camera, the vivo Y12 houses an 8MP selfie shooter. It captures decent images with facial details. The camera also supports Portrait Mode, Portrait Bokeh (single front camera), and AI Face Beauty. Most of these modes produce average results.
