When it comes to the OPPO Reno series, I believe most friends have the impression that it has a high appearance, looks good in portrait photography, and is even the best mobile phone for portrait photography in the 2000 yuan range. The new OPPO Reno12 series not only ushered in upgrades in appearance and image, but also brought some new features with the blessing of AI. In this article, let's focus on the OPPO Reno12 and see what kind of surprises this standard version can bring you.

Millennial fashion design, the screen also has surprises

The first surprise of the OPPO Reno12 is the exterior design, inspired by the Y2K trend, the OPPO Reno12's "Millennium Silver" color scheme boldly uses silver elements, with the quicksilver glass design, showing a vivid texture like liquid metal flowing on the flat glass, expressing a more avant-garde sense of technology.

In terms of lens module design, OPPO Reno12 adopts a familiar rounded rectangular design, with three lenses arranged vertically, and the outer ring of the module also has the texture of Paris studs, which has to be said that this design can show a simple body more than the previous generation.

Coming to the front, the OPPO Reno12 adopts a "four-curved soft edge straight screen", which can take into account the look and feel of a straight screen and the sliding feel of a curved screen at the same time. Just the right curvature,There is a pebble-like gentle touch as soon as you get started,At the same time, there will be no distortion and color shift of the curved screen,It is indeed the "final answer" of the screen shape。

Underneath this four-curved soft-edged straight screen is a 6.7-inch dynamic light and shadow screen, which supports a 120Hz high refresh rate and a screen excitation brightness of up to 1200nit. The most important thing is that this screen is equipped with OPPO photonic matrix display technology, which is the familiar ProXDR, which can fully restore the dynamic range of shooting or video, making light and shadow more vivid and the picture more realistic.

AI brings Live Photos to life

The standard version of the OPPO Reno12 also supports live photo shooting, and with the blessing of AI, it brings a native AI portrait algorithm to personalize the age, gender, skin tone, scene, etc. of the person being photographed, making portrait shooting more brilliant.

A brief introduction to the image configuration of the OPPO Reno12, it has a 50-million-pixel SLR-level main camera + 50-million-pixel DSLR-level portrait lens + 8-million-pixel ultra-wide-angle lens. It's worth noting that all three cameras support live photo shooting, whether it's a group photo of a person or a close-up of a person, you can have a rich dynamic effect. 

On top of that, the OPPO Reno12 is also the first mobile phone in the Android camp to support sharing to the Xiaohongshu platform, so that every "life photo" you share is full of vitality, and you can feel like you're there when you look through the aftertastes later.

Can Live Photos make for more great photos? No, we also have to consider some "unexpected situations", such as the inevitable problem of someone accidentally closing their eyes when taking a group photo with multiple people, and these situations are difficult to get together again in scenes such as graduation ceremonies and friend gatherings.

That's where the OPPO Reno12's new AI closed-eye repair feature comes in handy, as the phone can intelligently recognize the closed eyes of the person in the picture and "open your eyes" with one click through the AI model. We tried it and it was still very useful to save every meaningful photo, and I have to say that OPPO always gives you unexpected surprises.

There are always friends who are absent for some reason at the party, so can't they be seen in the group photo? Don't worry, the OPPO Reno12 has an AI cutout function, as long as you take out a friend's photo, the system can accurately cut out the person and save it, which can be quickly used in a group photo, so that absent friends can also join the group photo.

Of course, the Oppo Reno12 is just as good for classic portraits as it is for live photos. There is also OPPO's flagship-level super light and shadow system, as well as a facial feature-level portrait bokeh engine, and the OPPO Reno12 has a better progressive bokeh effect when shooting in portrait mode, and it can show a three-dimensional effect without a live picture bonus.

The same AI elimination of the flagship is also carried in the OPPO Reno12, this time there are two options of "smart circle selection" and "manual smearing", and a new "passerby elimination" has been added. This function can intelligently identify and eliminate passers-by and debris in the background, and fill in the texture of the eliminated locations based on the large model, so that there are no traces of modification, and there is another convenient option to save "waste films".

The performance experience has also been improved

The Oppo Reno12 is powered by the Dimensity 8250 chipset, which adds a Starspeed engine optimized for games, which can improve the energy efficiency of games at high frame rates. There is also a maximum of 16GB+512GB memory combination, with the specifications of LPDDR5X+UFS3.1, daily use can also be continuous and smooth.

Let's briefly test the gaming performance of the OPPO Reno12, and set "Honor of Kings" to 120 frames + HD quality at a room temperature of 25 degrees. Excluding the frame drops in the middle of the game, the average frame rate of the half-hour qualifying match was 118.1 frames, and the power consumption was only 10%; The game is very smooth throughout, and even if there is a ten-player team fight, the Oppo Reno12 can play steadily.

In terms of battery life, the OPPO Reno12 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery, and with the excellent energy efficiency performance brought by the Dimensity 8250, you don't need to worry too much about power when you go out. The charging is equipped with a long-life version of 80W flash charging, which can be charged to 55% in 20 minutes and 100% in 43 minutes.

In addition, the Oppo Reno12 also supports rain touch, so you can stabilize the touch even if you have just washed your hands or the screen is splashed with water. There is also an AI signal enhancement function, which can achieve signal enhancement with the help of AI capabilities, and can also have a stronger signal in scenarios where multiple people use the machine.

summary

The OPPO Reno12 has a futuristic exterior design, with the main color "Millennium Silver" showing the ultimate sense of technology with its flowing silver glass design. The front adopts a four-curved soft edge straight screen, which has both the look and feel of a straight screen and the feel of a curved screen, and the "most beautiful small straight screen" is well deserved. The image supports full-range AI live photos, which not only takes more lifelike photos, but also supports sharing to Xiaohongshu, making sharing more expressive. There are also convenient AI functions such as "Xiaobu Travel Assistant" and "AI Call Summary" waiting for you to discover.
