The Vivo Y12G is an affordable entry-level smartphone that Vivo has officially launched in India at a price of Rs 10,999, bringing a massive 5000mAh battery and Multi-Turbo 3.0 gaming optimisation to budget buyers. Available in Phantom Black and Glacier Blue, the Vivo Y12G is up for purchase directly on the Vivo India website.
Vivo Y12G: Display, Design, and Key Features
The Vivo Y12G sports a 6.51-inch HD+ Dew-Drop Notch display with a resolution of 1600x720 pixels, offering a clean, immersive viewing experience typical of the Y-series line-up. The handset shares its design DNA with the Vivo Y12s and Vivo Y12a, continuing the brand's budget-friendly aesthetic.
For security and convenience, the phone is equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a Face Unlock feature, making day-to-day access fast and reliable. A highlight of the Vivo Y12G is the Multi-Turbo 3.0 mode — a combined software and hardware booster that directly integrates with the gaming SDK for titles such as PUBG Battlegrounds India and other popular mobile games. Turbo mode pins active game apps directly to the phone's memory to reduce load times and improve frame consistency.
Vivo Y12G Performance and Specifications
Under the hood the Vivo Y12G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. Users who need more room can expand storage via a microSD card up to 256GB. The phone runs Funtouch 11 based on Android 11 out of the box.

Camera and Battery Life
Photography on the Vivo Y12G is handled by a triple rear camera setup led by a 13-megapixel primary sensor, accompanied by a 2-megapixel depth sensor and an LED flash for low-light shots. For selfies and video calls, there is an 8-megapixel front camera housed in the Dew-Drop notch.
Battery life is one of the Vivo Y12G's strongest selling points. The 5000mAh cell is large enough for heavy all-day use, and the included 10W charging keeps things straightforward. While 10W is not the fastest charging available in this segment, the large battery capacity more than compensates by keeping the phone powered for an extended time between charges.
