A glance through the S12, we can see that it has almost the same DNA as per the S10. Blessed with a similar 6.44-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen, high 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ makes for a really good viewing pleasure.
Then we have the Dimensity 1100 5G chipset under the hood, paired with a very fast Octa-core processor, great graphics and a whopping 8GB or 12GB of RAM. This combination will make very little of work of just about anything that you can throw at it, and still have room for more.
The best part about the S12 is definitely on its camera, five cameras to be exact. First there’s the 108MP+8MP+2MP triple primary camera, then we have the 44MP+8MP dual selfie camera. You will have a blast taking all of those beautiful photos and videos with this powerful camera setup.
Should you be worried about the S12 getting full in space? No, because it is fitted with a huge 256GB of internal storage which can put in plenty of stuff inside. All your favorite apps and games, no problem. All your high-res photos and 4K videos, no problem as well. Just bear in mind that there’s no expansion slot, but it will take quite some time to fill up the space. When the time comes, just do some spring cleaning – no worries here.
Battery-wise, the S12 comes with a large 4200 mAh battery which would have no trouble supplying the necessary juice to power up the smartphone for at least a day or two in between charging. And when the time comes to plug it in, the fast battery charging feature will get it up to full charge in very little time.
Last but not least, there’s the latest Android 11 operating system found on the S12; and dual-sim capability and 5G connectivity. This adds more value to what it already has.
Conclusion:
Vivo S12 is a timely upgrade for those looking for an excellent camera smartphone. With everything thrown into the mix, it will be money worth spending on this device.
