Vivo Y12s

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Vivo Y12s at Rs 20,999 prioritises camera capability over processing power. The dual-camera system with a 13 MP f/2.2 main sensor and phase detection autofocus ensures consistently sharp photos — PDAF locks focus quickly on moving subjects, a real-world benefit that many budget phones at this price skip. The 8 MP f/1.8 selfie camera is one of the widest-aperture front shooters in this segment, letting in more light for brighter selfies in dim conditions. The Helio P35 is an aging chip that handles basic tasks without drama but struggles with gaming and heavy multitasking. With only 3 GB of RAM, the phone will close background apps when you switch between three or four programmes. The 32 GB of storage is also below average — after system files, roughly 18 to 20 GB are available for your own content. The 6.51-inch display at 270 PPI is comfortable for daily use, and the 5000 mAh battery provides reliable endurance. This phone suits buyers who prioritise camera quality and selfie performance over raw processing power. The Infinix Smart 7 HD at Rs 18,999 saves you Rs 2,000 and matches the Vivo's 5000 mAh battery, though the Y12s's PDAF-equipped main camera and wider-aperture selfie camera deliver meaningfully better photo quality. The Infinix's 64 GB storage is double the Vivo's 32 GB, which matters if you store many photos locally. The Smart 7 HD's 500-nit brightness also ensures outdoor readability that the Vivo's IPS LCD panel may not match without a listed brightness rating. The Vivo's 3 GB of RAM is matched or exceeded by the Infinix's 2 GB, making both phones equally limited in multitasking. For buyers who prioritise camera autofocus and selfie quality, the Vivo Y12s delivers a genuine advantage; the Infinix Smart 7 HD appeals to those who want more storage and lower upfront costs.
