OPPO Reno12 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.6/10
Verdict
The OPPO Reno 12 5G is a unique mid-ranger with a key focus on generative AI features, boosting both camera capabilities and productivity. The AI integration is quite ingenious and creates a delightful user experience for productivity enthusiasts. The main drawbacks of the phone include a processor which isn`t as powerful as the competition, and a UI cluttered with pre-loaded apps.
Pros
- Stunning design
- Impressive 120Hz curved AMOLED display
- Unmatched generative AI features
- Reliable battery life with quick charging
Cons
- Performance could be better
- Lots of pre-loaded apps
Design and display
+
The OPPO Reno 12 5G is undoubtedly one of the most attractive smartphones I've had my hands on. I received the Sunset Peach colour variant and immediately fell in love with the rear panel, which has imprinted cloud patterns that softly glow under light. The triple rear camera setup is arranged vertically within a rectangular module, finished with a silver rim that adds a touch of elegance.

There's a notable difference between the camera systems of the Reno 11 and the Reno 12. The Reno 12 replaces the Reno 11's 32MP Sony IMX709 portrait lens with an 8MP Sony IMX335 ultra-wide and a 2MP macro camera, paired with a 50MP Sony LYT600 primary sensor. The primary camera includes OIS support, providing good stabilisation and improved low-light capture.

Let's now talk about one of the major highlight of the OPPO Reno 12, its AI features. The smartphone packs a bunch of AI features, and I'll talk briefly about each of them.

Performance
+
The latest MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy SoC lies at the heart of the OPPO Reno 12. The chipset is paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Looking at the hardware, its easy to surmise the phone isn't out to compete with the other options in the price bracket in terms of performance.

Software
+
The phone operates on Android 14-based ColorOS out of the box, which comes with a regular ensemble of smart features. My personal favourite includes the Smart Sidebar, which helps you access frequently used apps and AI features with a simple slide gesture. There's also Smart Suggestions, which alerts you to food deliveries and their real-time progress on the lock screen without having to rely on the app. The phone has an Air Scroll feature to scroll videos hands-free, but it's only supported on Facebook and YouTube. The feature works, but there's a slight lag.

Battery & charging
+
A 5,000mAh battery fuels the smartphone, and it comes with 80W fast charging support, which is a notch above its predecessor. In the PCMark battery benchmark test, the smartphone returned a score of 12 hours and 18 minutes, which is less than ideal compared to its peers.
