The OPPO Reno12 F 5G brings the party to life!

The OPPO Reno12 F 5G was designed to make advanced AI features more accessible to users. This smartphone offers a unique blend of technology and style, incorporating features that cater to both tech enthusiasts and those who appreciate aesthetics.

One of the standout features of the Reno12 F 5G is its emphasis on audio quality. The phone is equipped with a sophisticated sound system that delivers a rich and immersive listening experience. This makes it ideal for music lovers and those who enjoy watching movies or playing games with audio.

The Reno 12 F 5G is a well-constructed device designed to withstand the rigours of daily use

Its durable All-Round Armour exterior and High-strength Alloy Framework provide a robust foundation, while the internal Sponge Bionic Cushioning offers additional protection against accidental drops and shocks.

One of the most impressive aspects of the Reno 12 F 5G is its stunning AMOLED, FHD+ display. The screen delivers vivid colours, deep blacks, and excellent contrast, making it ideal for gaming, watching videos, and browsing photos. The high brightness of 1200 nits ensures that the screen remains easily visible even in bright outdoor conditions, allowing you to enjoy your favourite entertainment without worrying about glare or low visibility.

In addition to its impressive durability and display, the Reno 12 F 5G also offers a range of other features that make it a compelling choice for smartphone users. These include a powerful processor, ample storage, and a versatile camera system.

The first feature that we immediately noticed was the cool Halo Light on the back of the phone

The Reno12 F 5G features a unique design inspired by the aesthetics of classic wristwatches. The camera lenses and flashlight are housed within a circular disc, which is adorned with a glowing ring.

This ring illuminates in various colours depending on your phone's settings, such as when you receive a call or play music. While it's a visually appealing feature that adds a touch of flair to everyday interactions, it's important to note that the Halo Light is primarily decorative and does not function as a practical light source.

Even so, it's a cool feature that breathes colour into your life.

As mentioned previously, the Reno12 F 5G excels in being the centrepiece of the party thanks to its impressive audio capabilities

The OPPO Reno12 F 5G features Dual Stereo Speakers with a 300% Ultra Volume Mode, allowing users to boost the volume beyond 100%, reaching up to 300% loudness. While this feature can be useful in noisy environments, such as at a party, it's important to note that excessive volume may occasionally result in distorted sound quality.

Also, OPPO has introduced the Music Party App for group music sharing. By connecting multiple phones to the same Wi-Fi network, users can sync their music across devices by scanning a code on the Reno12 F 5G. This lets everyone in the group queue and play songs simultaneously.

These two features make the Reno12 F 5G a perfect companion for party goers.

The Reno12 F 5G is driven by a considerably powerful chipset

The OPPO Reno 12 F 5G is equipped with a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ chipset, a mid-range processor known for its impressive performance and energy efficiency. Built on a 6nm process, the chipset features an octa-core CPU with a combination of high-performance and energy-efficient cores, ensuring smooth multitasking and efficient operation.

The device comes with a generous 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and offers two storage options — 128GB and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. This combination provides ample space for storing apps, photos, videos, and other files, while also ensuring quick app launches and seamless multitasking. 

The Reno 12 F 5G also supports virtual RAM expansion, allowing users to temporarily increase the available RAM by up to 5GB using internal storage, further enhancing performance and multitasking capabilities.

The battery life is pretty impressive and exceeded our expectations

The OPPO Reno 12 F 5G is powered by a substantial 5000mAh battery, which easily lasts through a full day of demanding use. The efficient Snapdragon 778G+ chipset and optimised ColorOS 13 software work together to minimise power consumption, ensuring that you can enjoy your phone without worrying about running out of battery.

When you need a quick recharge, the Reno 12 F 5G supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging, which can fully charge the battery in approximately 35 minutes. This allows you to quickly get back up and running even if you've depleted your battery.

To further enhance battery life, the Reno 12 F 5G incorporates smart battery management features that learn your usage patterns and optimise power consumption accordingly. Another interesting feature is the phone's reverse charging capability, which allows you to share your battery power with other devices, effectively turning your phone into a portable power bank.

The AI-augmented photography suite makes taking photos an enjoyable experience

As a member of the Reno Series, the Reno 12 F 5G excels at portrait photography. Its 50MP main camera captures stunning high-resolution images, while the 2MP macro camera and 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera provide added versatility.

In portrait mode, the Reno 12 F 5G's AI Portrait processing enhances your photos by automatically adjusting contrast and lighting to create a flattering and professional look. To further customise your photos, Oppo's AI Eraser 2.0 allows you to remove unwanted elements from your images, such as other people in the background, ensuring that all the attention is on you.

Another useful AI editing tool is Smart Image Matting 2.0, which lets you easily cut out people or objects from your photos and save them as PNG files or stickers. These elements can then be added to other images, allowing you to unleash your creativity and create unique and personalised compositions.

The AI integration extends beyond photography

In addition to its photography features, the Oppo Reno 12 F 5G leverages AI to enhance your overall smartphone experience. The device offers AI-powered features that improve connectivity, productivity, and power efficiency.

One such feature is AI LinkBoost, which optimises channel selection to ensure a stable and reliable network connection, even in crowded environments. For example, when you're leaving an elevator, AI LinkBoost can quickly detect and reconnect to an available network with full signal 36% faster than previous products. 

Another example is when you need to switch to data networks in Wi-Fi dead zones, AI LinkBoost supports switches that are completed in 43% less time than previously possible. This is particularly beneficial for activities like live streaming, as it helps to minimise dropped signals and interruptions.

For productivity, the Reno 12 F 5G offers AI Recording Summary, which provides a concise summary of your voice recordings, saving you time and effort. Also, AI Writer can assist you in composing professional-sounding messages, making it a valuable tool for quick communication tasks.
