vivo V23 Pro arrives on Google Play Console, could be the global version of S12 Pro

The vivo S12 Pro is getting announced tomorrow with two front-facing cameras and two dual-LED flashes in the bezel on top. The S-series is usually exclusive to China, but the manufacturer often relaunches the phones under the V lineup outside of its domestic market.

Something similar is likely to happen this time as well - the vivo V23 Pro is expected next month, and we have some evidence that it's a rebadged S12 Pro after it appeared on Google Play Console.

All of the specs of the vivo V23 Pro (with model number V2132) are in line with what we expect from the S12 Pro - two cameras for selfies, Dimensity 1200 chipset, 8GB RAM and a 1080p display. The power key is protruded, meaning it won’t act as a fingerprint scanner, hence the sensor is under the display, meaning it is an OLED panel.

The vivo V23e (in LTE and 5G forms) is already selling in some countries, but its Pro sibling is expected to arrive in India in the first week of 2022, according to one source with “close ties to the company”.
