Vivo is all set to refresh its premium mid-range smartphone product lineup with the upcoming S12 series. The company is said to introduce two new models namely Vivo S12 and the S12 Pro tomorrow, i.e, December 22 in China. We have come across multiple reports sharing key features of the upcoming devices. Ahead of the anticipated launch, the company has now shared an official video teaser revealing the design.
Vivo S12 Official Video Teaser Confirms Key Design Aspects
Vivo has uploaded the S12 series promotional video via its official Weibo handle. The 20-second short video showcases the device’s design (both fasciae as well as the rear panel). The video confirms the presence of a dual-lens selfie camera setup upfront along with an LED flash. This indicates that the Vivo S12’s key highlight would be its selfie camera.
Vivo has also revealed the upcoming handset will employ “four soft lights” upfront which is for dual-LED and dual-toned flashlights. The promotional video further shows a shimmering gold color variant of the handset. The back panel houses a big vertical camera module on the top-left corner with three large sensors.
The 108MP primary camera is confirmed with the text inscribed on the camera module. Furthermore, the volume keys along with the power key can be seen with the usual positioning (right panel). The remaining placement of the ports isn’t clear. But we can expect a standard positioning (at the bottom).
Also, there is no direct sight of a physical fingerprint scanner. This is a clear indication the device will offer an in-display fingerprint scanner for biometrics. As of now, the company has only teased the S12’s design. The hardware features are yet to be showcased via such promotional videos or teasers. But, thanks to the rumor mill, we have enough details related to the Vivo S12 series hardware. We have listed down a few.
