vivo Y12 price in Malaysia starts from RM248, putting it firmly in budget territory. Inside is a Mediatek Helio P22 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, enough for basic apps and daily use, with a microSD slot on hand if you need up to 256GB more. The 6.35-inch IPS LCD panel runs at 720 x 1544 resolution, nothing sharp by today's standards but serviceable for browsing and video.

The camera setup is where this phone tries to punch above its price: a 13MP main lens joined by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, plus an 8MP front camera for selfies. Battery life is the bigger draw though, a 5000mAh cell that should comfortably get you through a full day even with moderate use.

It ships with Android 9.0 Pie under vivo's Funtouch 9 skin, and there's a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for basic security. At 190.5g and 8.9mm thick, it's not the slimmest phone around, but that bulk is largely what houses the big battery inside.
