Oppo launched the Reno 12 series last month with an IP65 dust and water resistance rating. The phone’s light blue color option will go on sale in China tomorrow. The phone is reportedly listed on JD.com, according to which, the price tag is 2,699 Yuan (~$377).

You can see the device in the light blue color option in the image above, which is apparently taken from one of the company’s official stores. The relatively fresh light blue color looks very suitable for the summer atmosphere.

The configuration remains the same as the standard edition. For those unfamiliar, the phone packs a 6.7″ AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 1200 nits and is protected with Gorilla Glass Victus 2. There is an under-display optical fingerprint scanner.

The phone is powered by the Dimensity 7300-Energy chipset (4nm) and runs ColorOS 14.1. This is paired with UFS 3.1 storage and 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X memory. The standard edition comes in two different storage options – 256GB and 512GB.

On the back, the phone packs a plastic battery cover and a triple camera setup within a rectangular camera island. The back camera setup consists of a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main sensor (1/1.95″), an 8MP ultrawide (1/4.0″), and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, the phone equips a 32 MP centered hole-punch selfie camera, which is measured at 1/3.1″ in size.

There is a 5000mAh battery inside and the phone supports 80W fast charging. Despite housing a big battery, the phone weighs only 177g and is 7.6mm thick. The middle frame is made of plastic.

I had the opportunity to use the Oppo Reno 12 5G, a standout contender in the smartphone market in the Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000 range in the Indian market, a couple of days before its official announcement in India. Readers should note that the Reno 12 available in India and other markets is significantly different from the Chinese market. You can read this post to know the differences. From its sleek design to its powerful camera capabilities and advanced AI features, here’s a closer look at what the Reno 12 5G offers to users.

Design and Build

The first thing that struck me about the Reno 12 5G is its sleek and sophisticated design. Available in Astro Silver, Sunset Peach, and Matte Brown, each variant offers a distinct aesthetic appeal. My review unit is the Sunset Peach variant, which features a unique graphic liquid crystal process, combining soft peach tones with cloud patterns for a refreshing, retro look. The phone feels incredibly well-built, with a Fluid Ripple Texture on the glass back adding both style and grip.

Despite its robust construction, the Reno 12 maintains a slim profile at just 7.6mm thickness and weighs a comfortable 177g. When it comes to durability, the Reno 12 offers Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front protecting the curved-edge screen, an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, and a high-strength alloy framework that according to Oppo is comparable to metal.

In India, the retail package of the Reno 12 includes a charger and case. These items are unavailable in the retail box of the Reno 12 available in Europe.

Readers can visit this page to see the entire specifications of the Reno 12 5G mentioned on its official website.

Display and Audio

The Reno 12 has a stunning 6.7-inch curved-edge AMOLED panel that offers an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1200 nits of peak brightness. Whether I was streaming videos, gaming, or browsing photos, the AMOLED display with HDR10+ support delivered rich contrasts and deep blacks.

A notable addition to the Reno 12 series is dual speakers, absent in previous non-Pro Reno models. These speakers provide evenly balanced audio, making the device ideal for multimedia activities such as watching movies and playing games. Reno 12 has the Holo Audio support, which is Oppo’s audio spatialization technology designed to provide seamless audio experiences with headphones or earphones. It ensures that different audio sources, such as music, navigation directions, and calls, remain distinct and unobtrusive, allowing users to multitask without interruptions.

Performance and Software

Powered by the all-new MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy platform, the Reno 12 offers decent performance without any lag. The 4nm chip, coupled with 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, ensured smooth multitasking and rapid app launches. ColorOS 14.1, based on Android 14, as usual, offers a stutter-free experience. However, like the previous Reno models, the Reno 12 comes with plenty of preloaded apps, which many may not like. The device is promised to receive updates.

The 5,000mAh battery, supported by Oppo’s 80W SuperVOOC charge, impressed me with its rapid charging capabilities. The battery can go from 0 to 100 percent in around 45 minutes. To recall, the Reno 11 has the same-sized battery with 67W charging support. The above images showcase the performance of Reno 12 on benchmarking platforms.

Camera capabilities

The Oppo Reno 12 has a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS support. It is joined by an 8-megapixel IMX355 ultrawide camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. Unfortunately, the macro camera replaces the 32-megapixel IMX709 telephoto with 2x optical zoom, which was seen on the Reno 11.

While the Reno 12 can capture portrait shots with up to 2x zoom using the primary camera, having a dedicated lens would have always been appreciated. For selfies, the device is equipped with an autofocus-enabled 32-megapixel GalaxyCore GC32E2 sensor. In the Photo mode, it offers 0.8x, 1x, and 2x zoom options, and 0.8x and 1x options in the Portrait mode. It can produce natural-looking selfies with enhanced facial details and skin tones, perfect for social media enthusiasts. However, the quality diminishes in low-light and indoor environments.

The 50-megapixel main camera delivered impressive clarity and colour accuracy, especially in well-lit conditions. The AI-enhanced Flash Snapshot feature adjusts shutter speed based on lighting conditions, resulting in sharp and vibrant photos even in challenging environments. The 8-megapixel ultrawide camera shots are consistent with the primary camera.

The front and the rear cameras support up to 4K 30fps video shooting. On the front, it offers EIS support for up HD and FHD videos, whereas there is OIS support for 60fps Full HD videos. The latter does not allow to modify or zoom into the subject. The 30fps 4K videos only allow the application of filters and nothing else. The front camera as well as the rear-facing primary camera allow users can adjust the aperture to add background blur effect in 30fps HD videos.

Oppo AI features

Oppo’s GenAI features on the Reno 12 elevate the user experience to new heights. The AI Eraser 2.0 was particularly handy for removing unwanted objects from photos with remarkable accuracy. AI Clear Face and AI Best Face enhanced group photos by improving facial details and correcting closed-eye expressions, ensuring every shot was picture-perfect. AI Studio, a dedicated app from Oppo, leverages Generative AI technology to transform your photos into unique digital avatars.

AI LinkBoost ensures seamless connectivity even in challenging network conditions, reducing the possibility of dropped calls. BeaconLink takes it a step further, enabling device-to-device voice calls over Bluetooth when there’s no mobile signal. This works well, but users have to be in the Bluetooth range of up to 30 metres.

The AI Recording Summary is a productivity powerhouse, distilling lengthy meetings into concise notes and to-do lists. The AI Toolbox is equally handy, offering AI Summary for quick article comprehension, AI Writer for crafting engaging social media posts, and AI Speak for hands-free reading. These AI Toolbox features are available via the sidebar. Finally, AI Clear Voice ensures crystal-clear calls by filtering out background noise.

Other additions

Gone is the portrait camera on the Reno 12, but the device brings several features that were available on the Reno 11. These include dual speakers, a microSD card slot, UFS 3.1 storage (Reno 11 has UFS 2.2), and an IR blaster.

Verdict

The Oppo Reno 12 faces stiff competition in its price range, with many other options offering impressive specifications. However, what sets the Reno 12 apart is its wide range of AI-driven features that are unavailable on other smartphones. Additionally, the Reno 12 boasts a sleek and improved build, featuring an attractive design with a vibrant screen. Its decent photography capabilities, fast charging capabilities, and new additions like dual speakers, UFS 3.1 storage, a microSD card slot, BeaconLink, and an IR blaster further enhance the device’s versatility. Overall, the Oppo Reno 12 is a well-rounded smartphone that combines strong performance, appealing design, and innovative features.

Oppo Reno 12 5G price in India

The Oppo Reno 12 5G is priced at Rs 32,999 (~$395) for the 8GB + 256GB variant in India. It is available in three stylish colours—Sunset Peach, Matte Brown, and Astro Silver.

Oppo is bringing its Reno 12 series to India, with a launch scheduled for July 12th. The series includes two models – the Oppo Reno 12 and the Oppo Reno 12 Pro. Since these smartphones have already been launched globally, we’re familiar with their specifications. Let’s take a quick look at them.

Oppo Reno 12, Reno 12 Pro Specifications

Both smartphones boast a large 6.7-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, built with a flexible AMOLED panel. Oppo describes this display as “Quad-Micro Curved Infinite View,” which translates to slim bezels and an impressive 93.5% screen-to-body ratio.

The upper part uses Oppo Glow technology for a smudge-resistant finish, while the lower half sports a glossy look with the Oppo branding. The vanilla model is available in Sunset Peach, Matte Brown, and Astro Silver.

For durability, Oppo says the smartphone has “All-Round Armour protection technology” for improved drop and impact resistance. The chassis is made from a high-strength alloy for added sturdiness. Both devices are IP65-rated for dust and water resistance.

Powering the Oppo Reno 12 series is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 system-on-chip. This hardware is complemented by Oppo’s suite of AI features, including AI Clear Face, AI Writer, AI Recording Summary, and AI Eraser 2.0.

Both models pack a 5000mAh battery with support for 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging, promising a full charge from 0% in just 46 minutes.

In terms of cameras, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro leads with a triple-camera setup: a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP telephoto camera using the Samsung JN5 sensor for 2x zoom, and an 8MP Sony IMX 355 ultra-wide-angle lens.

The standard Oppo Reno 12 replaces the telephoto with a 2MP macro lens but keeps the 50MP primary sensor and the 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. For selfies, the Pro model features a 50MP camera, while the standard model sports a 32MP sensor.

The post OPPO Reno 12 series launch date leaked: June 18 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Oppo introduced the Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro in China. The brand’s international arm has begun hinting at the imminent launch of these models for the global market. Although the global debut of these phones is anticipated later this month, leaks have already surfaced disclosing the specifications of the global variants. These leaks indicate notable distinctions between the Chinese and global editions of the Reno 12 and 12 Pro. Let’s delve into the discrepancies between the two versions.

Oppo Reno 12 (China) vs Reno 12 (Global) specifications: Display and design

Before proceeding, readers should be aware that Oppo has not officially confirmed the specifications of the global Reno 12 series. The comparison presented here is based solely on the rumored specifications of the global versions.

The Oppo Reno 12 (China) and Reno 12 (Global) share similarities in their displays, both featuring a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ screen, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1200 nits of brightness. However, the global variant specifies Corning Gorilla Glass 7 protection, whereas the Chinese version doesn’t specify glass protection. The global Reno 12 will have a dual-side curved display, whereas the Chinese variant is equipped with a micro quad-curved screen.

The leaked images of the global versions show that their design will be very similar to the Chinese counterparts. The global version is likely to measure 161.38 x 74.14 x 7.57 mm and weigh 178 grams, while the Chinese variant measures 161.4 x 74.8 x 7.25mm and weighs 179 grams. Both variants offer IP65 water resistance.

The global model is said to come in colors like Black Brown and Astro Silver. On the other hand, the Chinese model is available in options like Soft Peach, Millennium Silver, and Ebony Black.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy chipset and 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM are reportedly present in the global Reno 12. On the other hand, the Chinese version opts for the Dimensity 8250 Star Speed Edition and features 12 GB / 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM. The global is likely to come with 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, whereas the Chinese model has 256 GB / 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Battery capacity and charging speed are consistent across both variants, with a 5000mAh battery and 80W charging support.

The global Reno 12 will have a 32-megapixel front camera, and its back panel is said to feature an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

In comparison, the Reno 12’s Chinese variant has a 50-megapixel selfie camera. The rear camera setup of the device features the same primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

Oppo Reno 12 (China) vs Reno 12 (Global) specifications: Other Features

The global and Chinese Reno 12 have some common specifications, such as ColorOS 14.1-based Android 14, stereo speakers, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, an IR blaster, and NFC. Last but not least, one major difference between the Chinese and global variants is expected to come with support for a microSD card slot (probably via a hybrid SIM slot) for additional storage.

The post How will Oppo Reno 12 global differ from Chinese? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has recently teased the impending launch of the Oppo Reno 12 series smartphones in the global market. While the brand has not revealed any specifications for the global model, rumor has it that these devices will feature different specifications compared to the Chinese models that were launched last month.

Now, tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore has shared the complete specification list of the Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro global variants over at X (formerly Twitter).

Oppo Reno 12 series (global) details:

As per Sudhanshu, Both the Reno 12 and 12 Pro models heading to the global market feature a 6.7-inch 3D AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a resolution of 2412 x 1080 pixels, and a peak brightness of 1200 nits. The displays are HDR10+ certified, offer 10-bit color depth and are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, with the Reno 12 using the newly launched Glass 7i and the Reno 12 Pro using Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

For photography, the Reno 12 has a quad-camera setup, including a 50 MP main camera (Sony LYT-600) with OIS, an 8 MP wide-angle camera (Sony IMX355), a 2 MP macro camera (OV02B10), and a 32 MP selfie camera. In contrast, the Reno 12 Pro features the same main and wide-angle cameras, adds a 50 MP telephoto camera (Samsung S5KJN5), and retains the 32 MP selfie camera.

Both devices support 4K video recording at 30fps and offer multiple photo modes, including Night Photo, Professional Mode, Panorama, Portrait, Time-Lapse, and Slow Motion. They also include features like 4K Dual Video and Google Lens.

The Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy processor with a Mali G615 GPU. Both models come in configurations of 12GB + 256GB for the Reno 12 and 12GB + 512GB for the Reno 12 Pro, featuring LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, expandable up to 1TB. It is worth noting that the Chinese models are powered by the Dimensity 8250 and Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition chipsets, respectively.

Design-wise, the Reno 12 measures 161.38 x 74.14 x 7.57 mm and weighs 178 grams, while the Reno 12 Pro is slightly slimmer and lighter at 161.45 x 74.79 x 7.40 mm, weighing 180 grams. Both models have an IP65 rating for splash and dust resistance. For those unaware, IP65 is the highest level of dust protection and can withstand low-pressure water jets from all directions.

The battery capacity for both phones is 5000 mAh, supporting 80W SUPERVOOC charging (reaching 100% in 46 minutes) and 45W USB PD charging. Additional features include 48-month Fluency Protection, an in-display fingerprint scanner for biometrics, and multimedia capabilities like stereo sound and Ultra Volume Mode 300%.

Both phones run on ColorOS 14.1, based on Android 14, and include various AI features such as AI Eraser 2.0, AI Studio, AI Smart Image Matting 2.0, AI Portrait Retouching, and AI Clear Face, all with LinkBoost support. Connectivity options include Dual Nano SIM, IR Blaster, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, and Wi-Fi 6.

It’s worth noting that these specifications will also apply to the models shipping to India. Currently, the exact launch date for the Reno 12 series in the Indian market is unclear. However, since the brand has begun teasing these devices in the EU, the Indian launch could be imminent.

In the meantime, take a look at this leak, which reveals the pricing of the Reno 12 series in the Eurozone and the color variants that will be available in the global market.

The post Oppo Reno 12 Series (Global) Full Spec-sheet leaks revealing many changes appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Oppo unveiled the Reno 12 and 12 Pro, equipped with the Dimensity 8250 and Dimensity 9200+ chipsets, respectively. The brand recently confirmed that it will unveil the Reno 12 series globally later this month. Finally, the brand has released the first teasers of the Reno 12 lineup for the global market. Here is a look at the design of the next-generation Reno phones.

Oppo Reno 12 series teased

Oppo Europe and Global’s X handles have begun to tease the Reno 12 series. The official community platform is running a contest to choose a product ambassador for the Reno 12 series. The brand is accepting applications until June 30. This suggests that the global launch is likely on this date or sometime after this date. However, since the brand has not officially confirmed the launch date, it is advisable to wait for the official announcement.

To recall, the Reno 11 and 11 Pro were announced at the beginning of this year. Both came equipped with a front curved-edge display. The back panel of both phones featured a vertical pill-shaped camera module that housed three cameras and an LED flash. Although the front design of the Reno 12 series remains undisclosed, its rear camera module appears less prominent than those of previous generations. In fact, it looks a bit similar to the camera module of the Reno 6 series, which debuted back in July 2021.

Shown above are some of the official images of the Reno 12 Pro. The Reno 12 Pro features a rectangular camera module that houses three cameras and an LED flash. The official images also indicate that the 12 Pro will come with dual speakers and an IR blaster. It appears that the brand will offer some AI-driven features, such as AI Portrait and AI LinkBoost, on the Reno 12 lineup.

Oppo is yet to disclose the key specifications of the Reno 12 and 12 Pro. Reports suggest that both phones could feature the recently announced Dimensity 7300 chipset. Hopefully, the company will reveal more details about the Reno 12 duo later this week.

Vivo and Oppo are two major players in the smartphone market, known for offering feature-packed devices at competitive prices.  Their latest models, the Vivo S19 and Oppo Reno 12 are no exception. 

Both phones offer impressive displays, powerful processors, and capable camera systems. They even have similar price points, so which one should you consider buying? Let’s dive into the details in this article.

Display

Both the S19 and Reno 12 feature large, vibrant AMOLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates for smooth scrolling and gaming. The S19 has a slightly larger screen at 6.78 inches compared to the Reno 12’s 6.7 inches, but the difference in screen-to-body ratio is negligible. 

Vivo also offers a higher peak brightness of 4500 nits and a slightly higher resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels compared to the Reno 12’s 1200 nits brightness and 1080 x 2412 pixels resolution. While the difference in resolution and pixel density might be noticeable to some users, the real-world impact is likely minimal.

Performance

In terms of performance, the S19 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, while the Reno 12 uses the latest MediaTek Dimensity 8250. Both are capable processors and should handle everyday tasks including gaming with ease.

Storage options start from 256GB and go up to 512GB. However, the S19 offers a higher RAM variant, including a 16GB model, while the Reno 12 maxes out at 12 GB. 

A thing to note is that the Vivo S19 uses UFS 2.2 storage for all the variants paired with 8GB RAM and UFS 3.1 for other configurations. Whereas, the Oppo Reno 12 consistently uses UFS 3.1 across all the options. 

Cameras

The S19 has a dual rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. The Reno 12, on the other hand, features a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens for 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide sensor.

In terms of specifications, Oppo stands out as a clear winner here. However, the final camera output also depends on factors like image algorithms and post-processing. So it’s best to check reviews to get a better idea of their camera performance. Both phones offer similar video recording capabilities, including 4K resolution at 30fps.

Both the S19 and Reno 12 prioritize selfie performance with a 50MP front-facing camera. However, the S19 offers an additional dual-LED flash for better low-light selfies.

Battery and Others

The S19 has a larger battery capacity of 6000mAh compared to the Reno 12’s 5000mAh. However, both phones support 80W wired charging for fast top-ups.

Likewise, they offer features like fingerprint sensors, infrared ports, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.4 support for LHDC audio codecs for better audio quality.

Price

The Vivo S19 starts at CNY 2,499 (~$344) for the base 8GB + 256GB variant whereas the 12GB + 256GB option costs CNY 2,699 (~$372). The 12GB + 512GB and 16GB + 512GB configurations are priced at CNY 2,999 (~$413) and CNY 3,299 (~$455) respectively.  

The Oppo Reno 12 comes in four storage configurations. The base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage starts at 2,699 yuan (~$372). You can also get it with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for 2,999 yuan (~$413), or 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for the same price. The top-end option with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage costs 3,199 yuan (~$441).

Conclusion

While both the Vivo S19 and Oppo Reno 12 offer compelling features, the Vivo S19 edges out as the more well-rounded option for most users. Its larger display, a wider range of RAM configurations, and larger battery capacity make it a more versatile choice. 

Although the Oppo Reno 12 has a telephoto lens for zoom, the Vivo S19’s overall package combined with its even lower starting price makes it the more attractive option.

It appears that Oppo has a couple of new phones lined up for the global market. Recently, the brand unveiled the Oppo A3 Pro 5G, Reno 12 5G, and Reno 12 Pro 5G in the Chinese market. It appears that these three phones will soon be heading to the global market.

Oppo A3 Pro 5G, Reno 12 5G TDRA certified

The TDRA authority of the UAE approved the Oppo Reno 12 Pro 5G (model number: CPH2629) and the Enco Buds 2 Pro (model number: E510A) earlier this month, as shown in the screenshot above. Now, the global versions of the Reno 12 5G and the Oppo A3 Pro 5G have emerged in the TDRA’s database.

The CPH2625 model number corresponds to the Reno 12 5G, while the CPH2639 model number corresponds to the A3 Pro. The global version of the Reno 12 was spotted on other platforms, such as Geekbench and TUV Rheinland certification.

According to the Geekbench listing, the global Reno 12 has 8 GB of RAM, Android 14, and a Dimensity chip that is similar to the Dimensity 8300. It is likely to have the same Dimensity 8250 SoC as the Chinese edition of the Reno 12. The TUV Rheinland certification revealed that it will pack a 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. The Camera FV-5 database listing of the device revealed that it could be equipped with 50-megapixel front-facing and 50-megapixel rear cameras.

The Oppo A3 Pro 5G’s global version was previously spotted in the databases of Indonesia’s SDPPI and Eurofins certification platforms. It remains to be seen whether it will offer the same specs as its Chinese version.

Oppo‘s Reno series occupies a crowded space in the smartphone market: the ever-competitive mid-range. With the recent launch of the Reno 12, it’s natural to wonder how it stacks up against its predecessor, the Reno 11. So here we will take a close look at both models to see if the upgrade is worth considering. 

Display

Both phones feature a near-identical 6.7-inch AMOLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates and 1080p resolution. Bezels are minimal, offering a near edge-to-edge viewing experience. In terms of raw specs, there’s little to differentiate between the two. 

However, the Reno 12 boasts a slight bump in peak brightness, reaching 1200 nits compared to the Reno 11’s 950 nits. This could offer a minor improvement in outdoor visibility. 

Additionally, the Reno 12 introduces a quad-curved display for a more premium look and feel, while the Reno 11 only has curves just on the sides. The Reno 12 also comes with Gorilla Victus 2, which the Reno 11 lacks.

Performance

Under the hood, the Oppo Reno 12 edges out its predecessor with the MediaTek Dimensity 8250 chipset compared to the Reno 11’s Dimensity 8200. While both are built on the same 4nm process, the 8250 offers a marginally higher clock speed. 

In day-to-day use, the performance difference is unlikely to be noticeable for most users. Both phones are capable of handling most tasks and games without issue. However, power users who prioritize raw processing power may want to look elsewhere since these are not the SoCs for heavy gaming.

Both phones come in a similar selection of storage configurations (256GB and 512GB) but differ in RAM options. The Reno 12 offers a top-end model with up to 16GB RAM option while the Reno 11 maxes out at 12GB, which is still ample for most users. 

Both phones lack expandable storage via microSD card, so choosing the right storage capacity from the outset is crucial.

Software

Both the devices come pre-installed with Android 14 but the Reno 12 has newer Color OS 14.1 compared to Color OS 14 on Reno 11. While there’s not a major difference in the UI and usability, 14.1 brings a hunch of AI features. Of course, 2024 is the year of AI. 

These include fixing photos where someone blinked, removing people who walked into the frame, and helping you replace backgrounds.

There’s also transcription and summarization of dictations and a document scanner that can handle tricky tasks like math formulas. The phone’s Xiaobu assistant can also act as an English teacher and a primary school tutor. Moreover, the AI can help plan your next vacation and create a custom itinerary. 

These features should eventually be available on the Reno 11 through a software update.

Cameras

The camera systems on both phones are triple, but the configuration differs slightly. The Reno 12 ditches the 32MP telephoto of the Reno 11 for a 50MP telephoto lens. The main and ultrawide sensors remain the same at 50MP and 8MP, respectively. 

On paper, this appears to be an upgrade that should capture better zoom shots. However, it’s the real-world testing that will help us understand if the megapixel boost translates to an improvement in image quality. 

The selfie camera on the Reno 12 also receives an upgrade to a 50MP sensor from the 32MP unit on the Reno 11.

Battery Life and Charging

The Oppo Reno 12 boasts a larger 5000mAh battery compared to the Reno 11’s 4800mAh. While the difference may seem small, it could translate to slightly longer battery life for the Reno 12, especially for heavy users. 

Both phones offer fast charging, but the Reno 12 takes the lead with its 80W wired charging compared to the Reno 11’s 67W. This translates to potentially faster charging times for the Reno 12.

Design and Others 

The design language between the two phones is similar, with both sporting sleek glass backs and minimal bezels. However, the Reno 12 boasts an IP65 dust and water resistance rating. 

Reno 11 misses on any sort of IP rating. It could be a deciding factor for users who require a phone that can withstand the occasional splash. For audio, they come with a single speaker and miss the 3.5mm headphone jack. 

Conclusion

The Oppo Reno 12 offers modest upgrades over the Reno 11 in specific areas – a marginally better processor, a higher-res main and telephoto lens, a larger battery, faster charging, and better ingress protection. These improvements alone may not be game-changing for all users, especially those content with the Reno 11’s performance. 

However, for those seeking the latest features and a slight edge in battery life and camera capabilities, the Reno 12 could be a compelling choice. 

Ultimately, the decision depends on individual needs and budget. If you can find a good deal on the Reno 11, it may still offer excellent value for the price. But if you crave the newest features and are willing to pay a premium, the Reno 12 might be the better bet.

Below is a quick rundown of the specifications:

The post Oppo Reno 12 spotted on Singapore & Thailand certification websites ahead of global launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

An Oppo device with the model number “CPH2625” has surfaced on multiple certification platforms including TUV Rheinland and camera FV-5. We already know that the model number “CPH2629” belongs to the Reno 12 Pro, which is very similar to the previous one. Since “CPH2625” is expected to represent the Reno 12. The model has also appeared on the GeekBench listing.

The TUV Rheinland certification reveals that the Reno 12 will support 80W fast charging and will equip a 4880mAh battery.

The camera FV-5 certification platform shows that the phone will have a 12.6MP sensor with a 26.6mm (main) lens. It is likely that the resolution after 4-1 pixel binning. So the actual resolution of the sensor is 50.4MP. The main camera will come with f/1.8 aperture and EIS support. At 12.6MP output (after binning), the effective pixel size will be 1.6-micron.

In addition, the phone will have another camera on the back with an 8.3MP resolution a slightly wider focal length of 21.9mm, and a smaller f/2.0 aperture. It will also offer EIS support and an overall smaller sensor size (1.2-micron pixels). Looking at the slightly wider field of view (which is not enough for an ultrawide), it seems to represent the front camera in binned mode. The Reno 11 had a 32MP front camera with a 22mm focal length.

While the Camera FV-5 certification listing does not reveal any other cameras on the back, according to tipster DCS, the phone will also feature a 50MP 2x telephoto lens. It will also likely an ultrawide lens.

Moving on to the GeekBench listing, this phone has a single-core score of 1033 points and a multi-core score of 2750 points in version 6.3.0. It runs on Android 14 and has 8GB of built-in memory. Other memory versions will likely be available after it is launched.
