For even more imaginative possibilities, AI Studio can create digital avatars or artistic portrait styles from a single photo. Users can take advantage of GenAI’s new capabilities to imagine themselves as cowboys, manga characters, or many other styles.
In addition to photographic improvements, the new series uses the power of AI to deliver notable improvements. Following the Google Gemini 1.0 Ultra Large Language Model (LLM), AI Toolbox, with features such as AI Write, AI Speak, and AI Summary, leverages powerful recognition capabilities to understand the content displayed on the screen and recommend resulting AI actions, such as quickly creating content for social networks or generating summaries for longer articles. In the Recording app, the AI Recording Summary tool can also be used to intelligently extract text summaries from voice recordings and organize them into notes, with information such as task lists, times, locations, and other details highlighted and formatted for increased legibility
Series Design
Both devices feature a futuristic design with a space-like silver exterior. The rear glass panel of the Astro Silver model of the Reno12 5G and the Nebula Silver model of the Reno12 Pro 5G are designed with a fluid ripple texture, which creates a three-dimensional sensation of water ripples that simulate a pond. The innovative use of the parallax effect ensures that this visual sensation is achieved while maintaining the mirror texture and smooth feel, which has become the hallmark of the Reno series.
Apart from the new silver look, both models offer two more colour options. The Nebula Black shade on the Reno12 Pro 5G uses the liquid crystal graphics process. This version of the Pro has two parts separated by a metal strip that runs horizontally across the back of the phone.
For a more classic look, the Reno12 5G’s Brown Black colour has a cocoa tone with a fingerprint-resistant finish.
Special Features
On the Reno12 Pro 5G front, the biggest screen development comes in the form of Infinite View, which is one of the most advanced technologies currently available on any smart device.
Both devices feature a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors while offering low blue light eye protection on the hardware front. Added to this is Splash Touch technology, a patented solution that allows the screen to work correctly even if it gets wet or the user’s hands are wet.
In terms of protection, the Reno12 5G is equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i efficient against drops. On the other hand, the Reno12 Pro 5G has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which offers unparalleled resistance levels in its price range. With an IP65 rating, both smartphones offer robust dust and water resistance, while other important components in the smartphones, such as openings, speakers, USB-C port and SIM card tray have been reinforced to make them more waterproof devices.
Camera Features
The main camera of the Reno12 Pro 5G and Reno12 5G is equipped with a Sony LYT-600 sensor with full-pixel omnidirectional autofocus and OIS, providing fast and stable focusing. Both models feature a portrait mode with up to 2x zoom to capture realistic pictures enriched with bokeh effect, in the style of professional cameras.

energy efficiency
The new devices are the first to feature the new 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy processor, which delivers exceptional power efficiency. This octa-core includes four A78 performance cores and four A55 efficiency cores. The collaboration between the two companies on the Dimensity 7300-Energy delivers advancements in SoC, memory, and storage performance through the latest ColorOS Trinity engine.
By using AI models to identify the user’s current scenario, the Trinity Engine’s updated CPU-Vita Engine is able to accurately allocate SoC resources, achieving lower power consumption while ensuring system stability and fluidity.
The RAM-Vita Engine improves RAM usage to accelerate app activation and switching speeds. It can keep active background apps running for up to 72 hours without interruption. RAM expansion can be used to convert up to 12GB of storage into temporary RAM, giving an extra boost of fluidity when needed.
Finally, the updated ROM-Vita engine performs lossless compression on less-used applications and manages duplicate files to reduce unnecessary storage usage, resulting in increased storage space for user files and faster read speeds.
Autonomy and charging
Exclusive battery optimization has helped create the most energy-dense 5,000mAh battery ever in a Reno series smartphone, delivering long battery life and over four years under optimal conditions.
With support for 80W SUPERVOOCTM fast charging, this battery can be charged from 1% to 49% in 18 minutes, and it takes only 46 minutes to reach a full 100% charge.
Connectivity
The latest generation of OPPO’s patented LinkBoost AI technology is present in the new Reno series. Composed of nine individual antennas arranged in a 360° architecture, it is able to enhance signal reception and optimize network selection by using an AI system to make quick network changes according to the user’s environment. For the new generation of AI LinkBoost, the brand has also carried out tests and optimizations for stable connectivity. This includes improving network delays in areas with weak signals or congested networks, improving seamless switching between WiFi and mobile networks, and accelerating signal recovery speed when exiting an elevator or basement. With the world’s first TÜV Rheinland high network performance certification, the Reno12 5G series is validated to offer a good network experience in all possible scenarios.
For situations such as flights, metro trips or mountain excursions where mobile network coverage is not available, BeaconLink has been introduced. Using its own communication protocol, it enhances Bluetooth transmission to allow communication at distances of up to 200 meters, making it possible to make phone calls in emergency situations without the need for network coverage.
