OPPO has officially launched the Reno 12 series with the goodness of AI. While brands like Apple are integrating AI features into two of its expensive iPhones, OPPO decided to take the game to the next level by offering high-end AI tools in its budget and midrange smartphones. Earlier this month, OPPO promised that it would ship AI features on all its phone lines this year.
Now it seems the company is starting to deliver what it promised starting with the OPPO Reno 12 series. Notably, the recently launched OPPO Reno 12 and 12 Pro ship similar AI features available on the flagship Find X7 Ultra. Besides, the OPPO Reno 12 series will wow you with its impressive design and value.
The OPPO Reno 12 boasts a robust design and fast charging capabilities
The standard Reno 12 model flaunts a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is backed by the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 7i and packs the custom 4nm Dimensity 7300 Energy SoC under the hood. On top of that, it ships 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB/512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
The Reno 12 houses a triple-rear camera setup including a 50MP Sony LYT-600 as the main camera sensor with OIS support. Besides, there’s an 8MP 112-degree ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro sensor. On the front, you’ll find a 32MP selfie shooter, too. This entry-level phone packs a 5000mAh battery and supports 80W SuperVOOC charging. And, it can be charged from 0% to 50% in just 18 minutes.
The OPPO Reno 12 Pro launches with an ‘Infinite View Screen’ and awesome camera specs
The OPPO Reno 12 Pro also boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. However, the Infinite View Screen is the standout feature here. In simpler words, the Reno 12 series is launched with a quad micro-curve design. Oppo says that it brings the goodness of a curved screen’s aesthetics with the grip of a flat screen. And, that it will offer fully immersive visuals and comfort while minimizing accidental touch usually associated with phones with curved displays. Notably, the Reno 12 Pro comes with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. And, it ships with similar RAM and dual storage options as the Reno 12. It also packs the same processor under the hood and boots ColorOS 14.1 out-of-the-box.
The Reno 12 Pro sports a triple-rear camera setup including a 50MP Sony LYT-600 camera sensor with OIS support. Besides, there’s a 50MP telephoto lens along with an 8MP 112-degree ultra-wide lens. On the front, you’ll get a 50MP selfie camera. The Pro model allows shooting 4K video at 30fps using the rear and front cameras. Moreover, it packs a 5000mAh battery and supports 80W SuperVOOC charging. And, it can be fully charged in 46 minutes.
OPPO lives up to its promise of delivering a true AI phone
The Reno 12 series comes with a slew of amazing AI features. For starters, the Reno 12 series comes with AI Eraser 2.0. As the name suggests, using this feature will help you remove unwanted objects from your photos with just a tap. Next, there’s the AI Clear Face feature where AI does the magic and gives everyone in a group photo a star makeover. In addition, you have the AI Studio feature that uses GenAI (generative AI) to create your digital avatars.
The AI Toolbox is another feature on the Reno 12 lineup that uses Google Gemini to analyze in-screen content to offer multiple AI tools like the new Recording Summary which transcribes voice recordings. The next one is the AI Writer feature which generates comments and writes anything for you in Gmail or Outlook. It even helps you with social media posting and generates shopping lists for you.
AI LinkBoost and BeaconLink feature offers you peace of mind in low-network areas
The new AI LinkBoost feature in OPPO’s midrange Android smartphone allows for better signal reception. It can detect when you’re entering or leaving weak-signal areas like an elevator and quickly reconnect to the network. Besides, you can easily switch networks as AI ensures fewer delays and interruptions.
OPPO even has a solution for no-network zones, it’s called BeaconLink. This new feature allows calling nearby people, all just by using Bluetooth. You won’t even need a mobile network or an internet connection. However, the feature requires other parties to keep their Bluetooth on to make or receive calls.
The OPPO Reno 12 series price & availability
The Reno 12 starts at €499 in the global market, whereas, the Reno 12 Pro sets you back by €599. As with other OPPO phones, the Reno 12 series won’t be available in the United States. But, it will be available in different regions on different dates.
