Pros and Cons

Huawei nova 12s

Strengths

It is a pretty fashionable device that I think some people will really like
The same slim 6.88 mm body profile as the Nova 11 but with a new back design
The same beautiful 6.7 in full HD Plus ol display that refreshes at 12
Dual stereo lot speakers that even some mid-range phones don't come with
A really nice unique camera array to anyone who doesn't care about specs
The cameras offer very respectable image quality, especially the front camera which takes up to 60 megapixel shots

Weaknesses

It uses a 3-year-old chipset and is hardly even a refresh of the previous model
The Nova 12s has no official Google Mobile Services yet
The phone's price is unreasonably high at around 2,000 ring
The device lacks support for 5G networks
It doesn't have Optical image stabilization in the main camera
The charging speed of 66W superch charging might not be the fastest

vivo Y300

Strengths

A budget-friendly smartphone that doesn't compromise on features.
Boasts a sleek design, a moly display, and robust performance.
The phone's slim profile and lightweight build make it comfortable to use one-handed.
The 6.67 in AMOLED display is a highlight of the Vivo Y300 with 1 billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Peak brightness of 1800 nits.
Performance is smooth for everyday tasks, light gaming, and multitasking thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset and octacore CPU.
The phone's fast charging capability gets you up to 80% battery in just 30 minutes.

Weaknesses

Lacks some flagship-level features.
Doesn't have the fastest UFS storage standards, with UFS 2.2 instead of UFS 3.0 or higher.
The absence of a 3.5 mm headphone jack might be a drawback for those who prefer wired headphones.
The phone's IP64 certification means it's only dust and water resistant, not fully waterproof.
The camera's 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second might not be as smooth as some other phones in this price range.
The device runs on Android 14 with FunTouch OS 14, which might not be the latest software available.
