Editorial report
vivo Y12i technical sheet
The vivo Y12i suits buyers looking for a basic phone who put battery capacity first; the trade-off is 10 W charging, slower than on most phones of its time. Its 5,000 mAh battery holds more charge than most phones launched around the same time, making capacity its clearest strength. Fast charging is included, but its power is lower than most.
The 6.35-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 268 ppi, lower than that of most phones from its time. Its 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are also below what most phones launched around then offer. Storage is expandable, and the phone accepts two Nano-SIM cards. Connections include Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and a 3.5 mm audio jack, alongside FM radio and microUSB.
The rear camera has 13 MP resolution, lower than most phones of its time, and an f/2.2 aperture, among the weakest. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps. Overall, its camera is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time. The vivo Y12i earns a NeoScore of 3.8. It is a basic option for buyers who value a high-capacity battery and can accept the limits in charging, memory and camera specifications.
