Oppo Reno 12 Pro, Reno 12 Specifications and Features

The Oppo Reno 12 sports a spacious 6.7-inch OLED display that offers Full HD+ clarity with a resolution of 2412×1080 pixels. The screen can reach an impressive peak brightness of 1200 nits, ensuring clear visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. For durability, the Reno 12 is equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. Its more premium sibling, the Reno 12 Pro, on the other hand, benefits from improved Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, providing even greater scratch and impact resistance.

The Reno 12 and 12 Pro are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 chipset, a processor built on an advanced 4nm manufacturing process. This chip works with a Mali-G615 MC2 graphics unit to provide smooth performance. The Pro model offers more generous memory options, supporting up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 512GB of USF 3.1 storage.

Users can further expand the Pro’s storage capacity up to 1TB via a microSD card. In comparison, the standard Reno 12 has a more modest 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage, catering to users with smaller storage requirements.

Reno 12 Series Camera Details

The Reno 12 series comes pre-loaded with the latest Android 14 operating system, enhanced with the custom ColorOS 14.1. Oppo promises three years of major OS updates and an extended four-year period for security patches, ensuring the devices remain up-to-date and secure well into the future.

In terms of photography capabilities, the Reno 12 boasts a versatile triple-camera setup. The main camera uses a high-resolution 50-megapixel Sony LYT 600 sensor, complemented by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens for capturing wider scenes and a 2-megapixel macro sensor for close-up shots. For selfies and video calls, there’s a 32-megapixel GC32E2 sensor on the front of the device, allowing for high-quality selfies and clear video calls.

The Reno 12 Pro shares some camera features with its sibling, but it brings key improvements. It retains the Sony LYT-600 main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. However, it swaps out the macro lens for a more versatile 50MP Samsung JN5 telephoto lens that offers 2x optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom. This upgrade allows for improved long-range photography.

For selfies, the Pro model sports a higher-resolution 50MP Samsung JN5 front-facing camera that promises more detailed selfies. Both the Reno 12 and 12 Pro can record 4K video at 30fps using either the rear camera or the front-facing camera setup, giving users high-quality video recording options.
