Editorial report
vivo S12 Pro technical sheet
The vivo S12 Pro suits buyers who put a high-quality display and a high-resolution main camera first. Its main trade-off is the 4,300 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time; this version also has no Google Services.
The 6.56-inch AMOLED display pairs 401 ppi with 1,300 nits peak brightness. Both its pixel density and brightness are better than those of most phones of its time. Its body is another standout: at 171 g and 7.4 mm thick, it is among the lightest and thinnest phones of its time. The 90 Hz refresh rate is typical. Its 256 GB storage and AnTuTu score of 733,600 are both better than most phones launched around the same time. The configuration shown has 8 GB RAM; the phone is sold in configurations from 8 GB / 128 GB to 12 GB / 256 GB.
The main camera's 108 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, and its 1/1.52-inch sensor is larger than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its f/1.9 aperture, however, is less bright than most, and it has no optical image stabilization. 44 W charging is faster in power terms than most phones of its time, although the battery capacity is lower. With an overall NeoScore of 6.5, the vivo S12 Pro stands out for buyers seeking a strong display and high camera resolution who can accept its battery and services limitations.
