The strengths of the Vivo Y12s for its price include a large screen, elegant body, a huge battery and a good (on paper) main camera for a budget smartphone with two lenses.

display. The screen has a teardrop notch for the front camera and HD+
resolution at an aspect ratio of 20:9. The dimensions of the device are

front side, there is an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
The Vivo Y12s runs the MediaTek Helio P35
SoC. Along with it, we have a set of 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The
