Before the vivo S12 series, the main line of upgrading and iteration of vivo S series products is to strengthen the appearance of recognition and selfie control, based on which vivo S5, vivo S7, vivo S9 and other powerful models have emerged, Icelandic love songs, Monet comic colors, impression light and other poetic colors set off a round of popular boom, selfie slogan has gradually upgraded from "illuminate your beauty" to "illuminate my beauty", highlighting the vivo S series of consumer self-centered attention.
However, it should not be ignored that at this time, the vivo S series is biased, and the large investment in appearance and selfie compresses the performance and rear image space. To the vivo S12 series, the high-end chip of Tianji, which performed well, broke the weak performance image of S series products in one fell swoop, especially the Tianji 1200 equipped with S12 Pro, but won the second place in last year's "Annual Best Flagship SOC" list. With the sharp upgrade in performance and the new product slogan "all-round excellent natural outstanding", is it true that vivo S12 Pro wants to become an "all-rounder"?
The proportion of performance is improved, and it is not difficult for the king to 90 frames
Vivo S12 Pro hardware foundation is still quite good, Tianji 1200 in 2021 received a lot of praise, although the storage and flash memory although not on the enhanced version or overclocking version, but the user experience gap is very small, large-capacity data cache, large-scale game data loading, multi-application background mounting is not pressure. If the running score can say it all, the vivo S12 Pro can certainly "explain" itself.
In the Antu rabbit running score, the total score of vivo S12 Pro reached 710588, and the CPU, GPU, MEM and UX scores were at the upper level of the industry, and the temperature in the test rose by 7.6 °C, which was within the normal range. When using AndroBench to test flash memory, the sequential read and write speeds are 1934.4MB/s, 1541.98MB/s, and the random read and write speeds are 250.44MB/s and 302.81MB/s, which just confirms the "small gap" mentioned earlier.
When actually playing the game, the vivo S12 Pro gives me the feeling of "doing the most stable within the scope of my ability". This phone provides three game performance modes of power saving, equalization and BOOST, of which BOOST mode can provide more powerful performance firepower, and it is recommended to open it during the game.
On the basis of opening the BOOST mode and the ultra-high frame rate, I experienced a game of "Glory of kings", and finally experienced that it was not to lose the game flagship. Vivo S12 Pro average frame rate of 89.2, only 0.8 frames is the full frame level, normal operation of the game frame rate is always at about 89 frames, the only frame rate fell to 1 frame because I accidentally pressed the lock screen button, the touch feedback during the game is also more timely, skill release, sliding position will not drag mud with water.
In the "Peace Elite" game, the vivo S12 Pro is as stable as ever, and there are few violent fluctuations in the frame rate in the 16-minute game time, with an average frame rate of 59.7 frames.
Mobile phone comes with the voice changer, 4D game vibration, shield notification, eagle eye display and other functions are more practical, to 4D game vibration as an example, it supports automatic recognition and manual recognition of two modes, the mode contains the dual shooting button and single shooting button corresponding to different vibration feedback effect, while we can freely set the button position. The voice changer function can increase the fun of game dialogue, which includes 7 special effects such as Zhengtai, Royal Sister, and Lori.
After the optimization of the system window, the experience convenience of vivo S12 Pro is obviously improved, and we can operate other applications in the small window mode during the game, saving the time of switching back and forth between multiple applications. However, the system window supports applications only for information, browser, and weibo by default, and we need to click the "brush" symbol in the upper left corner of the window to add other commonly used applications, and up to 20 applications can be added to the window.
The battery capacity of vivo S12 Pro was my "heart disease" at first, after all, in the mobile phone market with large capacity batteries, the 4300mAh battery capacity is slightly smaller. However, in the process of use, I found that vivo S12 Pro is quite resistant to manufacturing, and the remaining power of the day can be used for a day to go home, and the power of the king will not be exhausted after 4 hours of idle play. Based on standardized tests, there are still 60% of the heavy use of 4.5 hours of power, and the power consumption is only 40%, indicating that the vivo S12 Pro endurance is still quite good. Not only that, the 44W flash charging efficiency of the vivo S12 Pro is also quite high, and it can be fully charged in less than 60 minutes.
Posterior photography can also be enjoyed
Since the vivo S series is already well known for its selfie performance, I chose the rear camera that the series was not good at in the past.
First look at the camera parameters, vivo S12 Pro rear triple camera, respectively, 108 million pixel main camera, 8 million pixel wide angle lens, 2 million pixel macro lens. Reflected in the photographic scene, the 108 million pixel main camera performs well, and its advantage is that it can capture more scene details and present the scene seen more fully. At the same time, vivo S12 Pro seems to be different from the previous vivo mobile phone, the color mode of this phone pays attention to authenticity, will not actively AI rendering to increase the visual impact of color, wall painting and Wukong clay sculpture in the photo are very close to the original appearance.

Since there is no separate optical zoom lens, the vivo S12 Pro's 1x-20x zoom shot is completed by the main camera, which inevitably has the problem of picture cropping, so everyone should not have too high expectations for high-power shooting. When shooting at 2x, the picture texture is still good, the delicate decay of dry flowers and copper plastic dolls is not serious, and the accurate bokeh effect can also set off the protagonist of dry flowers, which is worthy of praise.
(2x zoom)
In the 0.6x scene, the 8-megapixel wide-angle lens performs decently, although the picture distortion is properly suppressed, but it cannot withstand magnification, and the detail loss is obvious. It is hoped that the next generation of vivo S series products can improve the specifications of wide-angle lenses and make the image strength more worthy of scrutiny.

Face value warm gold color matching, extraordinary color change internal power
Appearance is the main battlefield of smart phones to create a personality "human design", compared to the vast majority of mobile phones on the market using gradient color or solid color design, vivo S12 Pro warm gold color matching chose the rare photochromic color 2.0 technology, so it has an unparalleled personality appearance.
Warm gold color blessing, vivo S12 Pro has a layer of looming nobility, not vulgar, more with a bit of elegance and freedom, its fundamental tone is golden yellow, but as long as it is appreciated in the light environment, warm gold must be golden yellow embellished with blue-green, if the angle is appropriate, you can also see a large area of blue-green flashing by.
The above is only the first face of vivo S12 Pro warm gold, when there is a large amount of ultraviolet light in the machine environment, the other side of the warm gold will be activated, then blue-green will become the main color, with the increase of irradiation time, the blue-green of the back cover of the mobile phone will be more intense.
Presumably everyone has thought that the vivo S12 Pro warm gold color matching with color change internal power is extremely playable, and we can make a meticulous transformation by controlling the UV irradiation area, the duration of UV illumination, and the pattern of UV illumination, so that the S12 Pro in our hands can get a stronger personality atmosphere.
Vivo S12 Pro warm gold model to bring me the surprise also exists in the tactile level, frosted design makes the touch delicate and not coarse, very close to the gold velvet fabric commonly used in high-grade clothing, daily use does not exist in the case of fingerprints, some small scratches will also be "offset" by the frosted back cover, long-term use is also flawless.
The two sides of the fuselage cover adopt a micro-curved design, and the front screen is also a micro-curved screen, which is very comfortable to hold under the dual curvature optimization, without any feel. Official data from vivo shows that the thickness of the vivo S12 Pro warm gold model is 7.36mm, and the weight is controlled at 171g, which is just in line with the extreme thinness I feel, compared with the tightness of the wrist when using the 200g flagship, the pressure brought by this phone to the wrist is very small.
Briefly speaking of the screen of vivo S12 Pro: the refresh rate is only 90Hz, and it is a big pity that the mainstream 120Hz refresh rate cannot be used, and the 500nit manual maximum brightness and 1300nit local peak brightness provide a good display effect under strong light, and the screen content can be seen clearly without blocking the sunlight, which is definitely enough for most users.
Summary: Reject the all-round flagship of partial discipline
For consumers who pay attention to the appearance design of mobile phones and selfie experience, vivo S12 Pro is still trustworthy, while vivo S12 Pro has quietly become no longer biased, and will land the "comprehensive excellent natural outstanding" slogan to achieve performance, appearance, front image, rear image, system and other aspects of the experience upgrade. For consumers who like or wait and see the vivo S series products, the vivo S12 Pro is undoubtedly a "reassuring pill".
