Vivo Y12 smartphone - advantages and disadvantages

Today the mobile phone is an integral part of the life of any modern person. With the development of the era of information technology, the telephone has turned from a conventional means of communication into an analogue of a home computer, which makes it possible to watch movies, take photos and videos, search for information on the Internet, play and much more.

There are a huge number of phones of different price segment and with different functionality on the mobile device market, so it is not so easy to decide on a purchase. Let's try to find out what you should pay attention to when choosing a phone, and what can be neglected. And also consider a decent smartphone belonging to the class of budget phones - Vivo Y12 with a description of its features and disadvantages.

Smartphone selection criteria

1. Purpose of purchasing the device.
   When choosing a phone, the first step is to decide on what it will be mainly used for. So, for example, if a smartphone is purchased as an analogue of a camera, and its potential buyer needs high-quality photos and videos, then first of all he will be interested in the technical characteristics of the camera (in this case, attention should be paid not to the number of megapixels, but to the number of built-in cameras, angle of view, aperture and sharpness). If a person is planning to buy a phone for gaming, then the main selection criteria for him will be the processor and graphics accelerator, the better they are, the faster and better the games will load on the screen. If a child will use the phone, then it is necessary to pay attention to the strength of the material from which it is made (it is best if the phone is made of shock-resistant glass).
2. Manufacturing firm.
   The price of the device directly depends on the popularity of the company. For example, Apple owners overpay for a brand about 30 percent of the cost of a phone. Although today there are a sufficient number of smartphones on the market, which in their technical characteristics are in no way inferior to top brands. When choosing a phone, you should take a closer look at brands such as Xiaomi, Honor, Huawei, Vivo.
3. Device pricing policy.
   A fairly good smartphone can be purchased at a price of 9,000 rubles, and for a device with the highest quality camera and graphics you will have to pay over 25,000 rubles.

This company appeared on the Russian market only at the end of 2017, but has already established itself well. Vivo now has 4 smartphone factories, one in Indonesia, one in India and two in China.

The advantage of Vivo is the value for money. There are 3 line options on the market:

• series V - phones belonging to the mid-price segment (their cost is from 16,000 rubles). These models have an amazing camera, eight-core processor, high battery capacity and charge speed, and a fingerprint scanner.
• NEX series - belongs to the premium line (the phones cost about 45,000 rubles).They are distinguished by more expensive body and glass materials, as well as technical components.
• series Y - budget smartphones (price from 8000 rubles), which at the same time combine all the necessary qualities: a good camera, a high-performance processor and a graphics accelerator.

It should be noted that all smartphones from Vivo have everything you need to firmly gain a foothold in the modern mobile device market and compete with top brands.

Consider the novelty of this year - a budget Y-series smartphone, namely the Vivo Y12, which is scheduled to start sales in June 2019.

Main features of Vivo Y12

Performance

This is a stylish slim phone that will rightfully take its place on the Russian market. Its competitive advantages are the eight-core Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 processor (12 nm), which ensures fast operation of the device, as well as the IMG PowerVR GE8320 graphics accelerator, which has the necessary amount of power to pull any game or watch videos in the highest resolution possible.

The 5000 mAh battery significantly extends the phone's operating time, and the dual fast charge function allows you to charge a fully discharged phone in one hour.

This phone model has two modifications:

• with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in memory;
• with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in memory.

The speed of the phone and the number of applications that can be simultaneously opened and used on it directly depend on the amount of RAM. To date, 2-3 GB of RAM is completely enough for the smartphone to work at its maximum. And 4 GB of memory is enough for the phone to take out "heavy games" without any problems. We can say that the more RAM a smartphone has, the more convenient it is to work with it. Also, both modifications are equipped with a slot for an additional memory card up to 256 GB. The possibility of using an additional memory card is an undoubted advantage for any phone model, as it allows you to save a lot (phones with a large built-in memory capacity are much more expensive).

Also, this phone model is equipped with a unique game mode "Ultra Game Mode", which allows you to redistribute the system resources of the device. For example, activating the Dual-Turbo mode can reduce the chance of dropped frames and make the gameplay smoother.

Design

The design of the device is rather laconic - it is a rectangular phone about 16 by 8 centimeters, on the front panel of which there is a screen (diagonal of 6.3 inches), in the upper part of which there is a small teardrop-shaped cutout for the front camera.and on the back there are 3 main cameras and a fingerprint scanner.

Camera

The 3 main cameras on the device are equipped with a 13 megapixel module, an 8 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens (about 120 degrees), a 2 megapixel camera for calculating the depth of field, which allows you to achieve a wide angle of view for ordinary photos, as well as sharpness and detail for portrait photos.

The front camera is equipped with an 8 megapixel module, as well as the Face Beauty function, which automatically corrects skin imperfections, but does it quite softly and unobtrusively.

Advantages and disadvantages

• eight-core processor;
• 6.3-inch diagonal screen, which allows you to perform all the necessary actions on the phone, be it watching a video or playing a game with high-resolution graphics;
• there is a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone, which has increased sensitivity;
• 3 cameras, which, due to their compatibility, allow you to take high-quality and detailed pictures;
• bright and stylish design;
• the ability to use 2 SIM cards;
• built-in memory card slot up to 256 GB (micro SD);
• low price for a device with similar functionality.

• the screen resolution is 1520 by 720 pixels, which is considered small by modern standards;
• photographs taken at night are not the best;
• there is no support for the contactless payment function.

Having examined the technical characteristics of the Vivo Y12 smartphone, we can conclude that this is a fairly basic phone. This model has all the necessary functionality for a person who does not need any "unique, specific" chips. It is perfect for teenagers thanks to its good technical characteristics, low cost and bright stylish body.
