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.The chipset works well enough for regular usage and some light gaming, but don't expect too much power out of it. If you want a capable gaming smartphone, you can check out the POCO F6 (review), which is more suited to it. If you're a regular user, the OPPO Reno 12 is sufficiently powerful to fulfil all your daily needs.There's an occasional stutter, but that's few and far in between, and the device more than makes up for it with the AI features I've talked about before.

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.Pre-installed appsOS upgrades + security updates OPPO Reno 12 5G693 major OS + 4 years of security updatesMotorola Edge 50 Pro413 major OS + 4 years of security updatesRedmi Note 13 Pro+583 major OS + 4 years of security updatesPOCO F6583 major OS + 4 years of security updates

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.
