China’s OPPO on July 12 launched in India the Reno 12 series, which brings its first wave of mobile artificial intelligence features.
There are two identical looking models in the series, but the top-end model, the Reno 12 Pro, boasts a more capable camera system and a dual-tone design on the back cover.
Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7300, the midrange smartphone seems to be on the pricier side based on on-paper specifications.
But, there is more to the Reno 12 Pro than meets the eye. What exactly? Let us find out.
The OPPO Reno series is known for its unique design, and the legacy continues with the Reno 12 Pro – boasts a distinctive dual-glass finish at the back.
The top section, which covers the majority of the back, features a matte finish, while the lower part boasts a glossy look.
OPPO Reno Design:
These two sections are divided by a thick glass strip that prominently displays the OPPO branding.
The rear camera module is more understated, with three-camera sensors stacked vertically on top of a rectangular bump.
While the back of the phone looks and feels premium, it’s the front that truly catches the eye.
The smartphone features a quad-curved glass design over a flat display, creating a bezel-less appearance. This curved glass not only enhances ergonomics but also helps prevent accidental touches.
The only drawbacks I noticed were that the glossy lower half and the camera module tend to accumulate dust frequently, requiring regular cleaning.
Additionally, the smartphone wobbles slightly when placed on flat surfaces.
Overall, the OPPO Reno 12 Pro boasts a sleek design and offers a comfortable grip for extended use.
It feels light and well-balanced in terms of weight distribution.
OPPO said it has incorporated durability features such as an impact-resistant internal design and Gorilla Glass Vectus 2.
The phone could be sturdy, but I strongly recommend not to torture the phone to test the company’s claims.
