00:00Vivo's newest budget device is here.
00:07Good day you beautiful people, welcome to Isa Das Tech where we do tech in your life
00:12in style.
00:13This is the Vivo Y12s and it promises a more premium experience with a price tag of P6,499.
00:26That just means that this is a sub $150 phone.
00:30So I'm honestly pretty curious to see what we get, if this is a phone that's worth it
00:33to buy especially since everyone these days have been looking for a capable online learning
00:37phone with a reasonable price tag.
00:40Also this is another giveaway so stay tuned till the end of this video to find out how
00:44you can win your Vivo Y12s.
00:46First order of business, let's unbox.
00:50So this is the Vivo Y12s, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, Vivo branding on the sides.
00:57On the back a quick peek at what we get, 5000mAh battery, side mounted fingerprint scanner
01:03and AI dual camera.
01:05We have the glazier blue version, ooh that's actually hollow.
01:13We have the sleeve and that has SIM eject tool, paperwork, jelly case of course and
01:19finally the phone but you guys know how we do, let's check what else is in the box.
01:24Power brick, charging cord, that is a micro USB.
01:27Onto the phone, so it says here do not block the proximity sensor and ambient light sensor
01:32so we have a sensor there.
01:34On the back it shows us that this thing has two SIM slots and a micro SD card slot.
01:39Let's see the phone.
01:40Okay, wait.
01:43Ooh, guys, that's wow, that's really pretty.
01:51I love how this looks okay, like I mean it is blue but how the light shines on it and
01:59creates that little rainbow, oh wow, ah nice.
02:05I mean this is a budget device you guys but honestly it doesn't look it right now.
02:11It has a very good weight to it, can't get over these rainbows.
02:18I mean it's not as sleek as the V20 of course but it does feel similar.
02:23On the side we have volume rockers, a fingerprint scanner and the power button.
02:28At the bottom, speakers, micro USB port and a headphone jack.
02:32On the other side, SIM slot and that is a clean top.
02:36Now I gotta say I'm very impressed at how this thing looks, again this phone is at a
02:40very affordable price point.
02:42I think the only thing that gives it away of course since we haven't turned it on or
02:45checked it out at all is the charging port.
02:48Aside from that though, this thing has a great in-hand feel, I love it and it's such a premium
02:55looking phone.
02:56You guys know what's next, setting it up and in the meantime, a montage.
03:10Now that you've seen more or less this phone's specs, let's talk about the things that sort
03:27of stood out to me, basically the stuff that I think are the biggest selling points of
03:30this phone.
03:31The Vivo Y12s has a premium look, if you just saw me holding this phone, you wouldn't even
03:36think it was a budget device.
03:38I like how this blue reflects a rainbow, it's one of the prettiest plastic backs I've seen
03:43and yes, that's a plastic back.
03:46I know it looks like glass but it's actually plastic, again, premium looking.
03:51I'm pretty particular about how phones feel in my hands and though this device is a little
03:55weighty, it doesn't feel cheap at all.
03:58It feels solid and it isn't plasticky, for lack of a better word, even if that's a polycarbonate
04:04back.
04:07Battery life is crazy good.
04:10This thing packs 5000mAh battery, that's a lot, that's more than what you get on a lot
04:15of flagship devices whose tendencies are to be on the more sneaker side of things.
04:20I feel like that just means that you can go on and on and on and on on this phone.
04:25But we're not just taking Vivo's word for it, I do have a separate battery test video
04:30for the Vivo Y12s so stay tuned for that.
04:33But in the meantime, yes, 5000mAh battery on a phone is a definite win.
04:40Obviously the Vivo Y12s will not pack the best cameras in the biz, no phone will in
04:46that price point.
04:47But I'm proud to report that images on this don't come out as a potato.
04:52In great shooting scenarios, you can come up with great images.
04:56Of course, you're not getting all the camera bells and whistles but let me show you what
05:00you're getting.
05:01Here is a quick camera tour.
05:02Camera tour time, so let's get to it.
05:05We have 1x, 2x, I'm sorry for my mirror, you guys, it can never seem to get clean but yeah,
05:14you can do up until 4x on this camera.
05:17And then on the side, you can tap bokeh so that allows for a background bokeh and you
05:25can adjust that here so that does 0.95 to a bokeh of 16.
05:34So the bigger the aperture, the smaller the number, the blurrier the background.
05:38The smaller the aperture, the bigger the number, the clearer the background.
05:42That is some photography lesson for today.
05:45And then up here, you have flash settings, you even have a fill light option, HDR settings,
05:50you have different filters, you have size settings, and you have even more settings.
06:00On the right, you have video mode, you have 1x, 2x, up until 4x, and then, what's this?
06:08Fill light.
06:09And then all other settings, you can shoot up until 1080p.
06:18Furthermore, you have live photo, time-lapse, or document scanners.
06:24On the other side, you have portrait photo which can do 1x, 2x, up until 4x.
06:30On this side, you have your bokeh, ooh, and there's this vivo posture mode which gives
06:36you different choices to choose from and what happens is, for example, if you pick this
06:42pose, as you can see, there's now an outline of how to do that pose so this is designed
06:47for you to get better IG shots.
06:49I love this, it's so cute.
06:51Up here, you have flash settings, HDR, size setting, and then on the right side, you have
06:57pano photos.
06:58Now, on to selfies, and yes, you can do pano selfies as well.
07:03You have your portrait mode, so up here, you have flash, HDR, size settings, and of course,
07:09you have different shutter modes.
07:11So you have voice, you have palm, let me show you how that works.
07:14So, of course, we all know that palm shutter works like this.
07:21But voice shutter works like this.
07:23Cheese!
07:26Yeah, so you sort of get the idea.
07:28On portrait mode, you also have beauty mode, you have the same posture mode, and you can
07:34switch lens here.
07:35And then you have photos, which gives you, well, basically photos, ooh, I can zoom in
07:42up until 2x.
07:44Can I zoom in on portrait?
07:45Yes, I can as well, so good find!
07:49And then up here, you have flash, HDR, all the different filters, size, and then settings.
07:55And finally, on video, hi, so this can shoot 1080p.
08:03Can we zoom in or out?
08:04Yes, we can!
08:052x and 1x, and that's that.
08:08That, folks, is our quick camera tour, all the things that this phone camera can do.
08:14At Php6,499, this is a well-rounded device.
08:18Something you can use for your online schooling, so for example, I'm on Zoom right now, this
08:23is your Zoom test, how do I sound, how do I look?
08:25Yeah, you sound fine, like, we could be learning right now.
08:28Yeah, okay.
08:31Something you can use for social media, to watch videos, and even play some games on it.
08:38Again though, this is a budget device, and there are certain compromises, like, you won't
08:43get the snappiest phone out there.
08:45Games will be playable, but not on some pro level.
08:49My cute games didn't take a hit though.
08:51Or my personal complaint, micro USB charging port and no fast charging.
08:56Though, to be fair, these things I mentioned are things that we usually see in budget devices.
09:01All in all, the Vivo Y12s is a premium-looking device that'll get you where you need, with
09:07features tantamount to the price point you're paying.
09:10If you're looking for a budget-friendly device, but want one that doesn't look cheap, of course
09:15this isn't my full review yet, I will need more time to make up my mind about this phone.
09:20And I will have a battery charge test on this, so stay tuned.
