Vivo Y12s (2021) has been launched as an upgrade to last year’s Vivo Y12s. The new Vivo phone has the same waterdrop-style display notch and dual rear cameras that the Chinese manufacturer offered on its 2020 version.
It also carries the 20:9 display and a 5,000mAh battery – both identical to the previous-generation Vivo Y12s. However, as a major distinction over the last year’s model, the Vivo Y12s (2021) comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 SoC. The original Vivo Y12s had a MediaTek Helio P35 SoC, though its India variant came with the same Snapdragon 439 chip.

The phone is currently available for purchase in Vietnam through e-commerce site FPTShop in Ice Blue and Mysterious Black colours.
