Understanding the datasheet of S8050
Note that this is the max spec.  The manufacturer is telling you this is the worst case (largest) Vbe you will ever encounter with this transistor for any combinations of valid values found anywhere else in the datasheet, and probably plus a little to cover their butts.

So if you feed it 50 mA of base current, 500 mA of collector current, and keep it at the coldest operational temperature allowed, Vbe is not going to exceed 1.2 V no matter which part you pick out of the bin, and even on a Tuesday with a full moon.

At a more normal operating point at a more normal temperature, you probably get pretty close to the 600 to 750 mV of most transistors.
