Preface

When I went home on May Day, I saw that the mobile phone used by my parents had a very short battery life, and the mobile phone was seriously stuck, so I decided to give them a new mobile phone. For the vast majority of parents, the key to the experience is not the hardware, but the brand and system, after all, their learning costs are much higher than that of young people. Also, to understand their needs, such as screen size, it's best to choose a model with eye protection. In other aspects, there are battery life, photography, performance, fast charging and infrared remote control, etc., combined with the budget to find the right model. Once you've made your purchase, transfer your data, turn on cloud storage, and teach your parents tips and features so you can choose the right phone for your parents.

In this era of fierce competition in the mobile phone market, it is not easy to find a mobile phone that is both durable and fall-resistant and affordable. In the end, I chose OPPO K12 for my parents, 12GB+512GB large memory version is only 2499 yuan, such a price, it is definitely the best in similar mobile phones, and 8GB+256GB 1799 yuan / 8GB+256GB 2099 yuan to choose, the price is even more close to the people to make people excited.

Appearance and strength coexist, light and fall-resistant

When I first saw this OPPO K12, the refinement of its appearance completely subverted the inherent impression of the previous thousand-yuan machine, whether it was the texture and details of the materials, it was not inferior to the high-end models, and the previous OPPO K series mobile phones were also more concise and durable.

This timeOPPO K12There are a total of "Qingyun" and "Starry Night" two colors to choose from,I chose the Qingyun color for my parents,The overall texture is elegant and atmospheric,It's very much like a piece of exquisite jadeite carved directly,Its back uses nano brightening optical film technology,In addition to having a transparent luster, it is also layered。 In the sun, if you adjust the angle a little, you can show a different level, which is amazing!

The camera part of this phone uses a newly designed Deco Deco, with dual rear cameras and a flash, which are arranged in a vertical row in the upper left corner of the body, and the entire lens module is rounded and not awkward. In addition, each lens has a stainless steel lens protector that protects the camera lens to a great extent, making it less susceptible to scratches even when placed flat on a table. At the same time, OPPO has endowed this mobile phone with a flagship-level image algorithm, and is equipped with a flagship-level super light and shadow ProXDR display, which not only surpasses most models in the same price range, but also surpasses most competitors.

The price is not enough to make the OPPO K12 the reason why I chose it, I like that it adopts the exclusive self-developed "super anti-fall diamond architecture design", which has enough anti-fall protection around the entire fuselage, and also uses magnesium aluminum metal bone as the body material, making the phone more durable and durable, even if it is accidentally dropped, it can remain intact. For parents, mobile phones are really too practical to be drop-proof! I used to change my parents' mobile phones, and many of the reasons were because the screen was accidentally broken.

Even inside the fuselage, OPPO K12's anti-drop protection is not sloppy, and it has been fully reinforced in key parts such as the motherboard, camera, and chip, and at the same time, cushioning foam has been added between various key parts to alleviate the damage of accidental falls to the greatest extent. After doing enough homework on drop resistance, OPPO K12 naturally passed the rigorous test and won the Swiss SGS five-star drop resistance certification.

At the OPPO K12 launch event, product manager Monica conducted a unique durability test. Dropped the OPPO K12 from a height of 1.5 meters onto a marble floor, followed by stomping on its screen with a high heel. Next, she used this phone to smash walnuts continuously, and even used an electric drill to try to penetrate the phone, but the OPPO K12 is still intact. With the "durable" characteristics of the OPPO K12, I don't have to worry about my parents breaking the phone anymore!

The front of the fuselage is a 6.7-inch LTPS straight screen, 2412*1080 resolution, centered front camera design, and the four bezels are extremely narrow, bringing a more immersive visual appearance.

Although the middle frame of the fuselage adopts a straight edge design, it has a chamfered design, plus a 2.8D curved back cover, which can solve the problem of awkward hands very well, and the grip is very comfortable.

The thickness of the fuselage is only 8.37mm, and with a large 5500mAh battery, the whole machine is only about 186g. With this weight and thickness control, the grip can be said to be quite good. On the whole, although the OPPO K12 is positioned as a mid-range model, compared with similar models in the same price segment, the advantages in terms of appearance, texture and other aspects are very obvious.

The eye protection straight screen gives the best care for the eyes

OPPO K12 adopts an eye-friendly straight screen design, with a global default maximum brightness of 500nit, a global excitation maximum brightness of 900nit, and a local peak maximum brightness of 1100nit. Even in strong outdoor sunlight, the screen content is clearly visible, greatly improving the outdoor reading and use experience.

Most of the parents and elders have less eye vision than the younger ones, so they need to be more careful. The screen supports 1Pulse-like dimming at medium and high brightness, and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness, so as to protect your eyes at full brightness and reduce eye fatigue when looking at your phone in low-light environments at night. In addition, it also supports a high refresh rate of up to 120Hz, HDR110+ ultra-high dynamic range, 100% P3 high color gamut, etc.

After turning on the eye protection mode, you can choose color display or black and white display, especially for parents who like to read e-books or read mobile phones at night, it is highly recommended to turn on black and white display to achieve eye protection by reducing visual fatigue.

In addition to eye protection, the OPPO K12 also supports wet hand touch, which is extremely sensitive even when the fingers are slightly wet, providing a more convenient and flexible operation experience. For parents, accurate and sensitive controls are the most important, for example, when the screen of the mobile phone is wet on a rainy day to make a call, and it is very practical to answer the call before washing your hands and dry your hands.

Ultra-smooth and non-stuttering, high-performance experience

In terms of performance, the OPPO K12 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen3 with a 4nm process, and the CPU part includes 1 A715 large core @2.63GHz, 3 A715 small cores @2.4GHz and 4 A510 cores @1.8GHz, and the GPU is Adreno 720. In the Antutu comprehensive test session, OPPO K12 got a total score of 928287 points, CPU score 274607, GPU score 262401, MEM score 211620, UX score 179659 points, and after several rounds of testing, the difference in running scores is extremely small, it can be seen that its performance output is relatively stable.

At the system level, OPPOK 12 is equipped with self-developed technologies such as "Memory Genetic Recombination Technology" and "Renewal Storage Technology", which are simply in-depth optimization of CPU, memory, and storage through these two technologies, improving the running speed, completely unleashing hardware performance, and achieving up to 25 commonly used applications for 72 hours of survival. With these two unique black technologies, it has also obtained the "TÜV SÜD 48-Month Fluency Level A Certification", which truly achieves four years of fluency without lag. In terms of memory, it is equipped with 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB three versions, to meet the storage needs of different users, users with larger memory needs can also turn on up to an additional 12GB expansion, and at the same time support 1TB card storage expansion, save as much as you want for high-definition dramas.

In the 1-hour experience of "Honor of Kings", I found that the performance optimization of this kind of mobile game is still relatively good, and it can maintain the stability of frame rate fluctuations in the extreme 120 fps mode, and there is basically no overheating.

Although the OPPO K12 does not focus on the gaming experience, OPPO still equips it with a high-performance graphite heat dissipation material and a 4129mm² ultra-large flagship-sized VC liquid cooling heatsink, so its heating performance during gaming is also very pleasantly surprised: when running Genshin Impact for 1 hour at a room temperature of about 26°C, the maximum temperature on the front of the OPPO K12 is 40.2°C, and the maximum temperature on the back is 42.7°C. It is worth mentioning that the OPPO K12 is also equipped with a 0809-gauge X-axis linear motor, and the vibration feedback for typing and gaming is quite crisp and neat.

Fast charging and long battery life, dispelling power anxiety

For a long time, the charging power and battery size of the mid-range machine are non-adjustable contradictions, either large battery + ordinary fast charging, or small battery + high-power charging, and mid-range users are plagued by low-quality electricity. As early as ten years ago, OPPO created the era of "charging for 5 minutes and talking for 2 hours", which not only changed user habits, but also turned fast charging into an industry standard. On the OPPO K12, it will further solve the pain points of the power experience of mid-range machine users who cannot take into account flash charging and battery life: it can be charged for 5 minutes and talk for 10 hours, fully opening the era of 100-watt flash charging and ultra-long battery life.

OPPO K12 is equipped with a 100W long-life version of Super Flash Charging, which adopts a new DC architecture, supports charging protection, intelligent fast charging and other features. It is measured that it can be charged to 27% in 5 minutes, 50% in 10 minutes, 71% in 15 minutes, 85% in 20 minutes, and 100% in only 27 minutes. Adopt a new DC architecture

In addition to the ultra-fast charging speed, the OPPO K12 uses a 5500mAh ultra-large capacity battery, which can fit such a large battery under the thin and light body, thanks to OPPO's self-developed high-voltage resistant lithium cobalt oxide system battery, which can provide higher energy density in the same volume. In addition to hardware,OPPO has also been optimized in software,OPPO K12Adopt smart charging engine4.0,Its exclusive"Intelligent battery health algorithm"and"Bionic repair electrolyte technology"Can fully extend the service life of the battery,The official claim is that even after 1600 charging cycles, the battery capacity is still ≥80%,Such a long charging cycle life ensures that the OPPO K12 battery is still healthy after 4 years of use。 This means that ordinary users do not need to replace the battery as long as they use the mobile phone for 4 years under normal circumstances, which reduces the after-sales cost of users.

It is very troublesome to use a mobile phone without power, just like the old mobile phone of your parents has a short battery life, you need to charge it several times a day, and you have to bring a power bank when you go out, which is very troublesome! After getting the OPPO K12 for my parents, they finally don't have to worry about battery life anymore, and it is okay to use it all day when it is fully charged! The most intuitive point is that when my parents go to the park in the morning, they go out with full power, and they normally brush Douyin, watch dramas, WeChat, video chats, etc., and when I get home at more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, I see that their mobile phones can still have about 59% of the power left, until before going to bed, their mobile phones still have about 32% of the power left, and 1 charge is enough for daily use for 1 day.

In addition to the 5500mAh ultra-large capacity battery, the OPPO K12 is also equipped with a SUPERVOOC S power management chip, which officially claims to increase the discharge efficiency to 99.5%, allowing every grid of power to be used where it is needed to achieve better battery life. After testing, the OPPO K12 does bring a very amazing battery life, and after high-intensity use, the remaining power of the OPPO K12 can still reach 32%, which is enough to prove its strong battery life.

Fully popularize the AI functions of the flagship

During the rehearsal of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year, several hosts used the AI assistant of their mobile phones in the background to greet the national audience for the New Year, so that many people knew about the "AI mobile phone" for the first time. The AI mobile phone does not need to use a third-party app, but directly becomes the user's personal secretary through the computing power of the mobile phone itself.

Although the OPPO K12 is a mid-range phone, it has a built-in Andean model based on the same flagship (AndesGPT), and the OPPO K12 has many flagship-level AI features: "AI Artist" can generate beautiful pictures with text with one click; "AI Elimination" can easily identify, eliminate and naturally fill in unnecessary elements of the picture; "AI Q&A" transforms into a smart multi-star according to different life scenarios, providing a variety of strategies.

We have seen the AI elimination function on many mobile phones, and the OPPO K12's "AI elimination" function experience is also very OK, and the important thing is that its speed and effect are no different from the flagship. Those who are familiar with PS should know,Use the patching tool in PS,Erase by comparison with the environment,If it's through OPPO K12's "AI elimination"You can easily eliminate it,Just select the range you want to remove the object,The rest of the AI will automatically identify and remove it。

After the "AI elimination" of cars and pedestrians, the fence on the side of the road is retained very naturally, and there is no excessive operation in the whole process, which is very convenient and effective. With this function alone, parents go out to play and take pictures, and they no longer have to be afraid of waste films.

In addition to the practical function of "AI elimination", there are also four AI functions for young people, including "Xiaobu English Teacher", "Xiaobu Interviewer", "Xiaobu Essay Assistant" and "Xiaobu Creative Commentary", which can improve the efficiency of learning, work and life by simulating the wisdom of real foreign teachers to practice speaking, simulating job interviews, sorting out paper frameworks, and generating copywriting on various platforms.

Sony LYT600 main camera, easy to produce blockbusters

Image part,OPPO K12Equipped with5000000000 pixel main camera+800000000000Pixel ultra-wide-angle hardware scheme,The main camera is SonyLYT600,The sensor size reaches 1.95 inches,And supportOISOptic image stabilization,No matter day or night,It can output excellent blockbusters。 The OPPO K12 provides three focal buttons on the shooting interface, of which 0.6X and 1X are optical lenses, and 2X are digital cropping.

Let's take a look at the sample performance:

In actual shooting, the OPPO K12's photo performance is very eye-catching among models in the same price range, not only can it easily take clear and delicate photos, but also can capture rich details and real color performance, accurately restore the colors seen by the eyes, the greenery of the plants is vivid, there are no traces of computational photography brought by excessive algorithms, and the overall photo style is relatively natural. Even in some environments with large light ratios, the Oppo K12 does a good job of detailing light transitions, avoiding overexposure or underexposure, which allows us to achieve a more balanced and natural result when shooting landscapes.

In terms of night shooting, the OPPO K12 also showed excellent performance, and thanks to the blessing of the "ultra-clear image quality engine", the details of the picture are more complete, effectively reducing the image noise during night shooting, and the noise reduction is more accurate, and the picture is very pure, restoring the real scene. In response to the highlight problem in the night scene,OPPO K12 has taken reasonable suppression measures,While maintaining the details,The light and dark levels are presented more clearly,Make the night scene photos more natural,Truly restore the fireworks of night life,The photo effect of this flagship-level main camera is really a bit dimensional-reducing at this price point。
