Oppo Reno 12 5G First Impressions

The Oppo Reno 12 has a triple camera setup, dominated by a 50-megapixel Sony LYT 600 sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. In my initial testing, the main and macro sensors stood out to me. The wide-angle lens is more of a hit-and-miss affair.

The Reno 12 5G boasts a range of protective features, such as dust and water resistance certification (IP65) and advanced scratch-resistant glass technology for the display.

The Reno 12 series comes with a custom ColorOS 14.1 operating system, based on Android 14, and Oppo is promising three years of major OS updates, which is a pretty good result.

The phone maker says the Reno 12 series features a unique sponge-inspired protective design that is designed to make the device more resistant to drops. The phone withstood several drops during the initial test and still worked well.

The frame of the device is made of an advanced alloy, containing elements such as copper, magnesium, and silicon. The Reno 12’s material mix is ​​made of a strong and corrosion-resistant structure, thus ensuring durability.

The phone supports 80W SuperVOOC fast charging and has a massive 5000mAh battery. The Reno 12 offers more color options than its more expensive sibling, the Reno 12. It comes in Sunset Pink, Peach Fuzz, and Matte Brown.
