vivo Y12s price in Malaysia starts from RM489, putting it firmly in budget territory. The Helio P35 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage handles basic tasks fine, but this isn't a phone for heavy multitasking or demanding games. The 6.51-inch IPS LCD runs at HD+ resolution, which is standard for this price bracket, and there's a microSDXC slot if 32GB feels tight.

The dual rear camera keeps things simple: a 13MP main lens with PDAF plus a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, backed by an 8MP front camera for selfies. Where this phone actually stands out is battery life. A 5000mAh cell means all-day use without much worry, though the 10W charging speed means you'll be waiting a while to top it back up.

There's no NFC here, which matters if you rely on contactless payments, but you do get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm jack and dual SIM support. It's a phone built around endurance rather than speed.
