vivo iQOO 12 Review
Score: 69.9 / 100Vivo iQOO 12 is a very complete Android phone released in 2023, with an enormous 6.8 inches screen, and two cameras, a 50 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 16 megapixels front camera.
The vivo iQOO 12 counts with an amazing 256 GB internal memory and whereas it doesn't have an SD memory card expansion slot, it is still enough to install hundreds of applications without thinking about how much memory is left.
Vivo didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 7.19 ounces cellphone. The vivo iQOO 12 is just 0.32 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium. The vivo iQOO 12 only has 6.43" long and 2.99 inches wide, but it still manages to hold a 6.8 inches screen. Vivo sells this phone in 3 different colors, black, red and white.
This phone has two cameras, a 50 megapixels back camera and a 16 mega-pixels front camera. Its back camera has a maximum 1.7 aperture so it can take beautiful pictures even in low lighting environments. It also shoots videos in 7680x4320 at 30 fps, and slow motion videos in (Full HD) (1920x1080) at 240 frames per second.
Vivo packed this phone with an amazing 6.8-inches screen, and a 1260 x 2800 resolution, providing this phone with a great image quality.
This cellphone has wifi capability (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a wireless router or modem) and 5G incredibly fast internet connection. This cellphone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM connection.
This cellphone also includes many cool characteristics like Fingerprint unlock, Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Transmitter and Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.
This device has an incredible 5000 mAh Li - Polymer non-removable battery, enough to provide this phone with an extremely long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to get older, though with such a big battery you will probably buy a new cellphone before it becomes a real problem.
No matter if you want a cellphone for work, are looking for a social phone, want this phone to play games or want it to take tons of photographs, this phone is a great option for you.
