A new low-performance, price-cut smartphone has been launched on the market. We talk about Live Y12s, a terminal that comes with extremely trimmed features and technical specifications worthy of a budget segment for undemanding users.
This smartphone had previously been leaked on commercial certification and approval sites such as TENAA and the 3C agency, and it has finally arrived as expected. Below we detail all the qualities of it, as well as information about its price and availability.
All about the Vivo Y12s: features and technical specifications
We will start by talking about the design of this new smartphone, which remains within the standard, without sacrificing the conservativeness of its range. Here we have the typical front section that makes use of a chin and light frames, while the stylized waterdrop notch, which serves to contain the 8 MP front shooter for selfies, video calls and more, does not shine. for its absence.
The Vivo Y12s screen is IPS LCD technology, which in this case is the ideal given the price of the mobile. This does not allow the existence of a biometric unlocking system such as the integrated fingerprint reader in the screen; here we have a side mount one, which is located on the right edge along with the volume buttons.
The diagonal of the panel is nothing more and nothing less than 6.51 inches. The resolution that this produces is FullHD + of 1.600 x 720 pixels, so there is a typical display format of 20: 9. Another point to describe is that the edges of the screen are smoothed as it is 2.5D, which helps to have better ergonomics and feel at hand.
The processor chipset that lives in the guts of this smartphone is, how could it be otherwise, a piece of Mediatek. Specific, we have the already well known mobile platform Helio P35, which is an eight-core Cortex-A53 at 2.3 GHz clock frequency. There is also a 3GB LPDDR4X-type RAM and 128GB internal storage space. A good thing is that in this smartphone there is a slot for microSD cards, which allows the expansion of the ROM of the same.
The Vivo Y12s battery has a 5.000 mAh capacity, which is generous and surely guarantees a day of autonomy with average use without any problems. The fast-charging technology that matches the thing is barely 10W, so it's not really that fast, but of the older mobile standard.
Live Y12s
The usual connectivity features such as dual SIM support, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, a microUSB port, and a 3.5mm audio jack are also available on the Y12s. The operating system that we have is Android 10 under FunTouch 11. The phone measures 164,41 x 76,32 x 7,41mm and weighs 191 grams.
The low-end camera system is double and is mainly composed of a 13 MP shooter with f / 1.8 aperture and a secondary one of only 2 MP with f / 2.4 aperture dedicated for obtaining data and information for the creation of the field blur effect, which is also driven by AI in this device. Of course, there is an LED flash for lighting dark scenes.
