In a highly anticipated event, OPPO Singapore has unveiled the latest additions to its smartphone lineup: the Reno12 series, featuring both a base and a Pro version.
Showcasing a cutting-edge “Futuristic Fluid Design” and reinforced with a “High Strength Alloy Framework,” these AI-powered smartphones are designed to be both visually appealing and durable.
While the performance isn’t groundbreaking, the Reno12 series is optimized for efficiency, thanks to its advanced SoC. The primary distinction between the base and Pro versions lies in their camera capabilities. For those not particular about photography, the base model should suffice. However, enthusiasts might prefer the Pro version for its telephoto lens, despite the additional cost.
And you know there are other little bits of things that make the Pro more premium such as the Infinite View display and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 screen protection – TL;DR the “nice to have” features.
Oh, don’t forget all the AI features like AI Eraser 2.0 and AI Studio that enhance the overall photo editing experience.
Here’s a concise summary of the specs.
