Vivo S12 Pro's camera module from the "cloud level" into a new design language, the black version has a large-grained AG frosted glass, not to meet the light on the low key, the light will be like the night sky like bling bling, or even if the low-key to the sullen vivo.
The frame in the "Plastik" is very thin, flattened up and down, and the edges of the screen are a little gelatinous.

Data & Experiences

Compared with the previous generation, vivo S12 Pro is more like a relative of the X60 and X70 series, and integrates many X60/X70 series design languages. On the front is a rare double-curved notch screen, and the chin width is significantly narrower than the previous generation, slightly larger than the X70 Pro+. If nothing else, it should be the highest-selling notch double-curved screen phone after the Mate 20 Pro.
vivo S12 Pro this 6.56-inch 2376x1080 90Hz micro-curved screen, 240Hz touch sampling, familiar BOE shadow after the Zhou Dongyu arrangement, is also familiar fineness, daily suggestions with "1 meter anti-aliasing bright, 2 meters ultra HD, 3 meters 8K" to solve, and the brightness is OK. Lower fingerprint position, nostalgic rotor motor.
In the balance of thinness and material, Vivo did not hesitate to choose the former. In the case of a larger battery and a larger screen, the vivo S12 Pro is thinner than the vivo S12, and this plastic frame is also a classic use of the blue-green factory.
After changing to a curved screen, the light and thin of the S series is fully reflected in the vivo S12 Pro. 6.56 inch screen, 7.36mm, 171g weight, comfortable grip. To put it bluntly, the vivo S12 Pro wears a shell that is thinner and lighter than most mobile phones.
The performance part rises from Tianji 1100 to Tianji 1200, the CPU performance is one gear stronger than snapdragon 778 and Tianji 1100, and the GPU is 2 gears stronger than Snapdragon 778G. The vivo S12 Pro tuning is more conservative overall, but the CPU is more active than the GPU, and the daily fluency is close to the vivo S10 Pro.
Vivo S12 Pro is equipped with the latest OriginOS Ocean, Android 11 bottom layer, UI and functional features are more advanced than flagships such as X70 Pro+. Stability, fluency and functionality are not much different from the S10 Pro. Of course, compared to changes such as fuzzy positioning and desktop widgets, the large-scale UI changes of the system are the upgrades that individuals are more concerned about.
Room temperature 23.5 degrees, 20 minutes of "Peace Elite" (PUBG Tool forced to open HDR HD + limit frame number + anti-aliasing), the maximum temperature of 42.5 degrees on the front and 41.6 degrees on the back. Cooler than the K40 game version of the same Tianji 1200, and Redmi Note 10 Pro (Tianji 1100)/Note 11 Pro+ (Tianji 920), and about 1 degree more enthusiastic than snapdragon 778G/778G+Xiaomi Civi and Honor 60 Pro.
4300mAh battery, 2.5 hours endurance test, ranked slightly above the normal level of S10 Pro and Xiaomi Civi, thin and light phones.
44W fast charging and fluctuations in the charging process are all trade-offs made for thin and light, the peak is close to 37W, half an hour to charge to 61%, 0-100% off-charge to 58 minutes, the performance is average.
Front-facing selfie
Vivo S12 Pro still provides a lot of selfie options, beauty (skin polishing and even "plastic surgery"), makeup (makeup), pose (teach you to shoot poses), coupled with filters, light and shadow style, custom bokeh / spot shape and other functions, not to say very complicated, it is simply to see the blindfold. Every time I turn on these selfie-focused phones, I feel like I've entered another world.
Considering the terrible adjustment items of the Beauty Family Bucket, turn off all beautification and bokeh functions when comparing.
Compared with the previous generation, the most obvious improvement of vivo S12 Pro is the dynamic range, the forehead, hair and other highlights are not so easy to overexpose, the picture contrast is also higher, and the skin tone is more ruddy.
Then let's look at the comparison of the serious pre-sample of occupational diseases (are you crazy?). Does a girlfriend have a mobile phone for fun? ）

Vivo S12 Pro front ultra-wide angle compared to the previous generation has little change, mainly a small upgrade at the algorithm level, noise control is slightly better, sharpening more forcefully. On the front camera side, the 5000W JNV is smaller than the 4400W GH1, but it does have stronger discernment and edge quality.

On the rear side, vivo S12 Pro ultra-wide angle is still very difficult to eat algorithmic processing, still the nature of the record.
Although the main camera hardware is the same, vivo S12 Pro corrects the S10 Pro white balance, metering is not stable, the film rate is low, the highlight suppression and the film rate have been significantly improved, the discrimination has not changed much, the white balance and metering have begun to adjust in the direction of pleasing the eyeballs, and there is a vivo X70 series taste.
summary
In general, vivo S12 Pro is still a stable S series product. This generation is replaced by a curved screen with a better feel, the front improves the picture quality, the main camera improves the film rate and the first look, and the fluency, endurance and charging are slightly improved compared to the previous generation.
It is still a model specializing in women and the offline market, Zhou Dongyu, rotor motor, shan Yang and high pricing, all of which make it directly miss contact with our straight male robot guys. Of course, the main light and selfie models have always been insulated from the cost performance. The product logic of offline models is completely different from the mainstream network view. The fact that thin and light selfie mobile phones are selling out every year has made me slowly accept the great reality of the world.
