Vivo has officially announced a December 22 launch date of the Vivo S12 series for the Chinese market. The company has also opened the reservations for the anticipated lineup, which may comprise two models — Vivo S12 and Vivo S12 Pro. However, the official teaser shared by Vivo on its Chinese website does not reveal the specifications of these handsets.

These handsets were reportedly spotted on the TENAA and China Compulsory Certification (3C) websites. The Vivo S12 series was also expected to launch in China along with the Oppo Reno 7 series, which was officially unveiled on November 25.
