The Reno12 Pro 5G—available in Sunset Gold and Space Brown—sports a Panda Glass back with dual textures: The top half is treated with anti-glare technology that is smudge-resistant, while the lower glossy area is defined by a smooth ribbon that carries the OPPO branding.

The Reno12 5G, on the other hand, has a Gorilla Glass 7i display and comes in Sunset Peach, Matte Brown, and Astro Silver colours. Sunset Peach uses a graphic liquid crystal process for a fresh look, the Astro Silver colour combines OPPO’s Fluid Ripple Texture to create an illusion of liquid on a smooth surface while Matte Brown offers a rich cocoa hue with a fingerprint-resistant finish.

For durability, the Reno12 Series packs an aerospace-grade High-Strength Alloy Framework to protect against bends. OPPO’s All-Round Armour protection—inspired by a sponge—makes these phones resistant to drops and impacts. As a testament to their ruggedness, both devices carry an SGS certification. Both devices have an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance and water-sealed speakers, USB-C ports, and SIM card trays.

But the Reno12 5G series’ true camera prowess goes beyond hardware specifications…

·     AI Best Face identifies faces and expressions to create a final snapshot where everyone looks their best; it even opens closed eyes for the perfect group shot.

·     AI Clear Face uses machine learning to enhance portraits. It removes blemishes while retaining natural beauty and facial features. It even adjusts face shape and details like cheekbones or jawline.

·     AI Studio that transforms portraits into fun digital avatars, ranging from cowboys to cyberpunk heroes.

·     And finally, there is AI Smart Image Matting 2.0 that lets users crop multiple subjects or objects from a single picture. These cutouts can be saved as stickers and added to photos to create fun memes.

OPPO leverages cutting-edge AI ground-up in the Reno12 Series camera to enhance light, colour and texture with advanced tone-mapping algorithms, and to eliminate motion blur with AI denoising and advanced stabilisation. At the same time, real-time facial recognition detects and enhances up to 296 facial features for aesthetic portraits. With the Reno12 series, OPPO’s AI puts the power of professional photography in your pocket.
