Vivo S12 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Vivo S12 Pro Overview
Vivo S12 Pro - optional addition
Smartphones with the Pro-index are increasingly appearing in the assortments of well-known manufacturers. Sometimes such models have significant improvements in performance, exterior and photo capabilities, but there are also cases when the updated edition is not much superior to its predecessor. This is exactly the situation that happened to the hero of today's review. The device cannot be criticized within the price category, however, it does not have much difference with the younger representative of the line.
The design of an Android smartphone has a huge number of advantages, but a clear minus in the form of an outdated form factor of a dual front camera is striking. However, sensors of 50 and 8megapixels provide some of the best selfies today in terms of detail and color reproduction, so their peculiar design is easy to forgive. But a tactilely pleasant combination of tempered glass and metal, narrow screen frames, a block of main cameras copied from full-fledged flagships allow you to get only pleasure from interacting with the device. The AMOLED panel, which has grown in its diagonal to 6.56inches, has not lost the brightness, contrast and clarity of the picture, and the image refresh rate at 90Hz does not upset either.
Now the place of the technical characteristics was taken by the MediatekDimensity1200 CPU, 8GB / 12GB ofRAM and the Mali G77MC9 video accelerator. There are few differences from the previously used 1100 chip, but this fact cannot be considered a disadvantage either. The processor is enough for resource-intensive games with a margin, while problems with heating and low energy efficiency bypass the chipset. A 4300 mAh battery almost always gives out more than 7-8 hours of active screen time, it takes only 45-50 minutes to charge it to full capacity (fast charge at 44W ). They definitely did not save on the size of the internal storage, because its volume reached as much as 256GB of the UFS 3.1 format.
108-, 8- and 2-megapixel photomodules could significantly improve the quality of evening photography, if the developer added optical stabilization. Unfortunately, without it, it will take more than one take to get a really good frame without unnecessary noise and blur, and the resulting 4K video sometimes comes out not smooth. Stereo sound has become another object of economy, however, the only speaker is not bad in terms of the balance of frequency response and volume. There is support for 5G , but at the same time there is no FDD-LTE B7 and B20, which is why the 4G network in a number of CIS countries will be mediocre. Untranslated apps directly for the people of China do not induce positive emotions either. Thus, the gadget turned out to be very competitive, but a phone without a Pro-index is no worse and at the same time more affordable.
