Vivo Y12s now available in Nepal; exceeds pre-booking expectations

February 14, 2021

Vivo announced the pre-booking of its budget-centric Vivo Y12s in Nepal last week. The Chinese smartphone giants offered some attractive pre-booking deals like Rs.1000 cashback and lucky draw, where you get a chance to win Vivo Y12s (3 people), NPR 2,500 cashback (100 people), and one-month screen replacement (500 people). Because of all this, more than 3000 buyers pre-booked the phone, over-achieving the sale target by over 50%. And now, the phone is officially available for purchase.

Vivo Y12s Overview:

Design and Display

Vivo Y12s sports a 6.51-inch IPS LCD with an HD+ resolution of 1600 x 720. The Halo FullView display has a waterdrop notch on the top that encloses the selfie camera. The bezels around the screen are quite noticeable. It is more profound on the bottom chin. The device also has a protection mode that filters out the harmful blue rays when activated.

The rear panel has a gradient finish and is available in two color options – Glacier Blue and Phantom Black. It has a left-aligned vertical camera module that also houses the LED finish. The phone also has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Performance and Camera

Y12s is powered by the MediaTek Helio P35 that is already two years old. Even at this price range, other smartphone manufacturers have moved towards Helio G-series chipsets that are better optimized for gaming. That being said, the phone will be available in a single memory configuration of 3/32GB. The storage can be expanded further using an external microSD card. Vivo has included Multi-Turbo 3.0 for better resource management (RAM, Network, CPU, and GPU) while gaming.

Camera

At the back, the phone has two camera sensors that are arranged vertically inside the rectangular camera module. A 13MP primary leads the dual-camera setup. It has an aperture of f/2.2. It is accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor (f/2.4). On the front, there is an 8MP selfie camera with an f/1.8 aperture. It is also used for the Face Wake feature.

Rest of the specs

Vivo Y12s has a 5,000mAh battery that charges via a micro USB port. There is no fast charging but it supports 5W reverse charging if you want to supply power to other devices. The phone ships with FunTouch OS 11 based on Android 10. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0.
