OPPO India announces the launch of the Reno12 5G and Reno12 Pro 5G on 12th July 2024. The Reno12 series, “Your Everyday AI Companion”, is designed to enhance user experience with powerful AI features, robust durability, and sleek aesthetics.
Innovative Design and Durability
The Reno12 series introduces a Quad-Micro Curved Infinite View screen with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 in the Pro variant and Gorilla Glass 7i in the base model for enhanced durability and scratch resistance. Both models feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz Flexible AMOLED display with a 43° quad-micro curve that results in 1.69mm narrow side bezels for a 93.5% screen-to-body ratio. The 10-bit panels display 1.07 billion colours to provide smoother lifelike colour transitions even in bright outdoor conditions with peak HDR brightness up to 1200 nits.
The series boasts an All-Round Armour protection—inspired by a sponge—to boost resistance to drops and impacts. The High-Strength Alloy Framework, comprising metals like copper, magnesium, and silicon, ensures a sturdy and corrosion-resistant build that meets aerospace quality standards. Both devices are IP65-rated for dust and water resistance with reinforced components such as speakers, USB-C port, and SIM card tray. The Reno12 Pro is tested by SGS for Premium Performance 5 Stars Multi-scene protection that covers water- and shock resistance among other features. The Reno12, on the other hand, carries the SGS Performance 5 Stars Multiscene Performance that includes low blue light and a flicker-free screen to prevent eye fatigue.
The Reno12 Pro 5G—available in Sunset Gold and Space Brown—features a Dual-Texture Back crafted from Asahi Dragontrail and Panda Glass. The top half sports OPPO Glow technology that is smudge-resistant, while the lower glossy area is defined by a smooth ribbon that carries the OPPO branding.
The Reno12 will be available in three colours: Sunset Peach, Matte Brown and Astro Silver. The Astro Silver colour combines OPPO’s Fluid Ripple Texture to create an illusion of liquid on a smooth surface, while Sunset Peach’s graphic liquid crystal process creates a fresh take on the 2024 colour of the year. For a more classic look, Matte Brown features a rich cocoa hue in a fingerprint-free finish.
Powerful Processor and Battery Life
The Reno12 series is powered by the advanced 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy SoC that delivers high performance thanks to its quad 2.5GHz Arm Cortex-A78, balanced by its quad Arm Cortex-A55 for power efficiency. The octa-core CPU ensures seamless usability and extended battery life. The MediaTek APU 655 boosts AI performance, enabling innovative features like AI Clear Face, AI Writer, AI Recording Summary, and AI Eraser 2.0.
Both models feature a large 5000mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC™ fast charging, capable of charging from 0% to 100% in just 46 minutes. The series promises four years of battery durability that makes it a reliable choice for long-term use.
AI-Enhanced Camera System
The Reno12 series is equipped with advanced AI-based camera features and high-quality sensors. The Pro version’s main 50MP camera, with Sony’s LYT-600 sensor and Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), captures sharp photos even in low light. It also packs a 50MP telephoto camera with the Samsung JN5 sensor for 2x portrait zoom and up to 20x digital zoom. Images shot with this camera boast great background compression for more dramatic portraits without facial distortions. The 8MP IMX 355 ultra-wide-angle camera with a 112° field of view (FOV) captures expansive scenes in a single shot. For selfies, the Reno12 Pro comes with the 50MP JN5 sensor with autofocus and a 90° FOV.
The Reno12 replaces the Pro’s telephoto camera with a 2MP OV02B10 macro camera for shots as close as 4cm and a 32MP GC32E2 sensor by GalaxyCore for front-facing selfies that are rich in details and shading in photography and videography.
The Reno 12 series’ Ultra-Clear Portrait Camera System is powered by OPPO’s AI algorithms that enhance photos by removing imperfections while maintaining natural contours.
The front camera features facial recognition for personalised adjustments for up to 296 parameters that define human faces to ensure a natural look in every shot. OPPO’s Tone Mapping Control algorithm adjusts brightness and colour representation for different scenarios and skin tones, providing accurate and lifelike images.
Enhanced Connectivity and User Experience
The Reno12 series leverages OPPO’s proprietary AI LinkBoost technology to reduce network lag by up to 25% and optimise signal recovery in challenging environments. The phones ensure lag-free voice communication over VoWiFi and smarter network selection with dual SIM support. Certified by TÜV Rheinland for High Network Performance, the Reno12 series guarantees superior connectivity.
The OPPO Reno12 5G and Reno12 Pro 5G set new standards in design, durability, performance, and AI functionality.
With its robust build, advanced processor, fast-charging battery, and AI-driven features, the Reno12 series is poised to be a game-changer in the smartphone market. Launching on 12th July 2024, these devices are ready to become “Your Everyday AI Companion”.
