The vivo S series of phones is easily one of the best recommendations for those that prioritize selfies over everything else. The latest addition to it comes in the form of the vivo S12 and S12 Pro that again take the selfie-shooting experience to the next level with their improved dual pixel-dense front cameras, but that has now been paired with top-tier performance too, thanks to the usage of high-end Dimensity processors.
vivo S12 Pro specifications
Moving on first to the vivo S12 Pro, the phone features a curved 90Hz 6.56-inch AMOLED screen with support for HDR10+. The smooth display has been paired with a high touch response rate as well that reaches up to 240Hz. The phone measures reasonably thin and light with a thickness of just 7.36mm and a weight of 171g.
Under the hood, you get the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor – a flagship-level chip that has been proven to be quite a performer under both gaming and regular usage scenarios. A 4300mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging help meet the power requirements of the device.
But it’s the camera setup of the vivo S12 Pro that’s the most impressive, particularly the ones on the front comprised of 50MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide cameras. The dual cameras are joined by dual-LED flash, housed within the top bezel. A number of AI-enhanced shooting modes are also available like “AR cute shooting”, sports capture, double exposure, dual-view video, and more. The rear cameras, on the other hand, are comprised of 108MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro sensors.

A more affordable vivo S12 was also unveiled with the launch event with a design quite similar to its Pro variant but with a twist – it not only ditches the curved screen but also comes with a much boxier design. Its dimensions measure 157.20×72.42×7.39mm and its weight stands at 179g. The screen is a 6.44-inch 90Hz AMOLED with a 180Hz screen sampling rate.
The front cameras of the device are housed in a notch and come in a 44MP + 8MP setup. The rear cameras are near identical to the vivo S12 Pro, comprised of 108MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro sensors.
A MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chip handles the processing needs of the device and it gets its juice from a 4200mAh battery, again with 44W fast charging support.

The vivo S12 Pro comes in 8GB+128GB and 12GB+256GB RAM and storage configs that cost 3,399 Yuan (~$533) and 3,699 Yuan (~$580) respectively.
