On May 23, the OPPO Reno12 series phones were officially released. While the Reno series has traditionally been updated at a semi-annual rate, the new Reno12 series brings two significant upgrades – a change in screen form factor and support for Live Photo publishing.

At the same time, the OPPO Reno12 series has also ushered in further upgrades in terms of AI, imaging, and gaming experience.

OPPO Reno12 系列包括 OPPO Reno12 和 12 Pro 两款产品,本篇文章,IT之家将带来 OPPO Reno12 Pro 的上手体验。

1. Design

Since the Reno3 series, Reno has begun to use a hyperbolic screen design, and on the Reno7 and 8 generations, it has briefly returned to a straight screen, and from Reno9 to 11, these three generations of products have continued to have a hyperbolic screen, and this change in screen form actually reflects OPPO's insight into consumer aesthetic changes.

In 2024, the four-curved screen has become the favorite of more and more consumers, so this time, the Reno12 series screen form has once again ushered in a huge change - the whole system is equipped with a "four-curved soft edge straight screen", which is officially called a "super beautiful small straight screen".

In terms of specifications, the screen size is 6.7 inches, the highest 120Hz refresh rate, the resolution is 2412*1080, the screen excitation brightness is 1200nit, and it supports ProXDR display, multi-brightness color calibration, HDR10+, supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 1.07 billion colors, etc.

The so-called "four-curved soft edge straight screen" is actually the four-curved screen that everyone often talks about.

This design ensures the feel of the curved screen on the premise,It also brings the look and feel of a straight screen,The four curved screens are like water in a water cup full without overflowing,The whole screen is like water droplets lightly placed on the middle frame。

Between the screen and the middle frame, there is no plastic bracket, which looks excellent and feels quite good.

As a mobile phone product with a trendy icon, the isodeep four-curved screen is the most suitable choice.

On top of the "Quad Curved Straight Screen", Corning ® Gorilla ® Glass Victus® 2 is covered, and scratch resistance is even further improved.

In this case, will the next Find series also use a contour quad screen? You can look forward to it.

The design of the back shell of the Reno12 series has also undergone considerable changes, with the Black Factory following the fashion trend and incorporating the popular Y2K style at the moment.

The so-called Y2K style, simply put, is a fashion culture that emerged from the 90s to the beginning of the 21st century, and because it is in the millennium, it is also known as the "millennial style".

When it comes to the millennium, silver must be the key word, and a distinct sense of technology and metallic texture is one of the Y2K style features, such as glittery clothing. Recently, a number of sneaker brands have also launched Y2K retro running shoes, and their common feature is the bright silver as the main color.

The OPPO Reno12 series incorporates this Y2K design, such as the OPPO Reno12's "Millennium Silver", which uses a flowing silver glass design to show a vivid texture like liquid metal, replicating the millennial fashion trend.

The silver magic purple of the OPPO Reno12 Pro in this review also pays tribute to the millennial dream silver, which also uses a flowing silver glass design, but incorporates more purple into the silver, and presents it in a gradient color, the silver is like flowing water, slowly blending into the purple, and the flow texture brought by the curve is full.

In terms of details, the Oppo Reno12 Pro's lens module is surrounded by a pin ring, and the plastic middle frame has a small straight edge design, and the bright purple color echoes the back case.

The OPPO Reno12 Pro continues to inherit the consistent thinness and lightness of the Reno series in terms of grip experience, with a body thickness of only 7.55mm and a weight of 184g (Silver Purple).

You know, the OPPO Reno12 Pro has a large 5000mAh battery crammed into the body.

In addition, the Reno12 series has also received an upgraded body architecture, with more than 10% improved material bending resistance compared to the previous generation, and the whole machine has passed the IP65 dust and spray protection certification.

2. Live photos

The biggest highlight of the OPPO Reno12 series in terms of image experience is that it is the first Android to be able to publish live photos, all three cameras in the full focal range support live photos, and at this stage, it supports uploading to Xiaohongshu for sharing.

Specifically, in Xiaohongshu's album publishing interface, there will be a Live icon in the lower right corner of the Live pictures taken by the OPPO Reno12 Pro, of course, you can also click the "Live Map" on the right to select.

On the release preview page, click on the live image, and there will be a dynamic display. Once posted, a Live logo will appear in the top left corner of the photo to indicate that it is a Live Photo.

As you browse, these photos will automatically "play". In addition, the live pictures saved by others through Xiaohongshu will be composed of a static image and a small video of about 2s in the album, and the overall experience is basically the same as that of the iPhone.

Live Photo (Live Photo) is not an uncommon thing, as early as more than ten years ago in the Lumia era, there was a Nokia dynamic picture function, Android also supported it early on, but this feature has not been taken seriously by manufacturers, and even today, most Android phones have a dynamic photo switch "hidden" in the secondary menu.

In addition, for a long time, the ability to post live photos to social platforms has been exclusive to the iPhone, while Android motion photos can only be viewed on your own hands, not shared.

Manufacturers don't pay attention to it, it doesn't mean that consumers don't want it. Take the author as an example, not long ago, a female friend asked the author about the purchase of a mobile phone, likes to take pictures, and is hesitating between the Android flagship and the iPhone15. According to the needs, the author recommended the OPPO Find X7 Ultra that was released recently, however, after struggling, she finally chose the iPhone15 standard version, in the face of its relatively ordinary camera configuration and 60hz screen, the author is also difficult to understand, but her sentence made the author speechless - the iPhone can share live photos.

In fact, this seemingly inconspicuous part of the demand has always existed, including in Xiaohongshu's sharing post, many consumers have deliberately purchased iPhones for this feature.

When a static photo comes to life, every look back can instantly return to that moment of shooting, which is perhaps the real charm of live photos.

It's important to note that while Live Photos are supported on both Android and iPhone, Live Photos on iPhone have a very high priority, not only by placing the switch in a prominent position on the shooting interface, but also by being able to share Live Photos on Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and other platforms.

Sharing live photos on social platforms is precisely to share this authenticity and vividness with more people, because static photos often cannot fully express the emotions they want to convey, which is also missing from Android phones for a long time.

In the words of Xiaohongshu, the iPhone can send live pictures, and it also provides users with "emotional value".

Obviously a very ordinary thing,But it has not been taken seriously by manufacturers for a long time,This time OPPO took the lead in making changes,OPPO Reno 12 series became the first Android machine that can release live photos,I hope that driven by OPPO,There will be more Android friends to follow up next。

The OPPO Reno 12 series not only supports posting Live Photos, but also supports beautifying and retouching Live Photos, including personalized editing of Live Photos, such as adjusting colors, adding filters, and even adding text and stickers. Live Photos also support AI portrait algorithms and filters, which are ahead of the iPhone.

At present, the OPPO Reno 12 series releases Live Photos to support Xiaohongshu, but Weibo does not support it, and we look forward to the upgrade support of more apps in the future.

3. AI experience

AI imaging is one of the main highlights of Reno12 Pro, of course, the AI here is not only at the level of image algorithms, but also in terms of practical functions.

For example, the "AI Closed Eyes Repair" feature. In daily group photos, we often encounter such an embarrassing situation: in the group photo, we are in excellent condition, but our friends happen to close their eyes and post to Moments.

Therefore, the OPPO Reno12 Pro brings an AI closed eye repair function, and the operation is also very simple:

Find and click the photo with your eyes closed in the album that needs to be repaired, tap the "Best Group Photo" icon in the upper right corner of the photo interface, and click "Close Your Eyes Repair" in the pop-up AI Best Group Photo interface to automatically complete the repair.

Not only that, but the AI elimination function of the OPPO Reno12 Pro has also ushered in a new experience upgrade. In addition to the traditional method of circle selection and smear elimination, the new one-click elimination function of passers-by makes AI elimination more convenient and intuitive.

In addition, the AI cutout of the Reno12 series has added the ability to quickly add stickers, so that users can easily complete tasks such as group photos and handbook making in the album, which is both practical and fun.

The Reno12 series also brings the Cloth Travel Assistant feature, which is so great that during the experience, I admired the unique perspective of the product manager.

For example, whenever we are planning to travel to a new city, we always need to painstakingly develop a strategy, from choosing attractions to planning routes, these strategies are really time-consuming and laborious, so with the help of Xiaobu Travel Assistant, you can let it help with the planning.

It is important to emphasize that Xiaobu Travel Assistant is not just a simple text plan, but will provide travel guides with routes and locations, and mark the locations in Baidu Maps.

Click on the "Baidu Maps" window to view and edit the location, and you can also ask Xiaobu Assistant to "generate an exclusive guide" to generate a daily travel guide according to the schedule.

Travel tips for different cities planned by Xiaobu

Travel tips for different cities planned by Xiaobu

To put it bluntly, you just need to tell Xiaobu where to play, and Xiaobu will then arrange the route planning of the map for you!

What's more, Xiaobu Travel Assistant can even "copy" and customize the travel guides in platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Weibo.

For example, when you see a city's travel guide on Xiaohongshu, you only need to press and hold the power button to call out Xiaobu and "customize my travel route", and then Xiaobu will mark the travel guide in Baidu Maps through the "screen recognition" function, and click to view the route plan.

This feature will bring great convenience and fun to the user's travel experience, and I am very much looking forward to more OPPO mobile phones being able to upgrade OTA in the future.

(Make a small request, if the route planning supports AutoNavi map in the future, then the experience will be better~)

Fourth, still images

The OPPO Reno12 Pro is equipped with a triple camera system, which is officially called "50 million DSLR-level portrait triple cameras", and the configuration includes:

50 million portrait camera: 50MP, 1/2.75, F / 2 large aperture, 47mm-equivalent focal length, 2x optical zoom support;

50 million wide-angle main camera: 50MP, 1/1.56, f/1.8 large aperture, support optical image stabilization, 24mm-equivalent focal length;

112 度超广角摄像头：8MP，1/4，F / 2.2 大光圈，等效焦距 16mm（FOV 112°）。

The Oppo Reno12 Pro has an IMX890 main camera with optical image stabilization, and the telephoto is a Samsung JN5. Judging from the specifications, this set of wide-angle main camera + ultra-wide angle + 2X telephoto is in line with the image positioning of the OPPO Reno12 Pro.

The IMX890 is also an old friend of OPPO, from the periscope of the high-end Find X7 Ultra, to the main camera of the foldable OPPO Find N3 Flip, to the mid-range OPPO K11. On the OPPO Reno12 Pro, with the blessing of optical image stabilization, the IMX890 performance is naturally not worrying.

In daytime conditions, the Oppo Reno12 Pro is still at the flagship level, with color, detail restoration, and exposure as stable as ever.

Main camera sample:

This 50-million-pixel Samsung JN5 telephoto gives the Reno12 Pro a good "telephoto" ability, although there is still a certain distance from the periscope telephoto, but in any case, at this level, putting an independent 2X telephoto is far stronger than the main camera 2X digital zoom.

This strength is mainly reflected in the shooting in the 5X range, such as the 5X sample, which still maintains a certain optical quality as much as possible. In some indoor environments where the light is not too strong, there is still good forgiveness.

2X Samples:

5X Samples:

The ultra-wide performance is acceptable, with a slight drop in edge quality in slightly low-light conditions, but color consistency between the main camera and the telephoto is good. Although the resolution of 8 million is limited, it is no problem to post a circle of friends every day.

Ultra-wide-angle samples:

Fifth, performance

OPPO Reno12 Pro 搭载了天玑 9200+ 星速版芯片，提供 12GB + 256GB、16GB + 256GB、16GB + 512GB  三个配置版本，均为 LPDDR5X+UFS 3.1 规格，

This chip is essentially the Dimensity 9200+, and after being deeply polished by the OPPO and MediaTek teams, the Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition mobile game temperature is 9 degrees high.

Let's take a look at the Oppo Reno12 Pro's benchmark results.

As you can see in the chart above, the Oppo Reno12 Pro's Antutu achieved an overall score of 1543833 points, which is in line with the Dimensity 9200+ benchmark performance.

In terms of flash memory performance, the OPPO Reno12 Pro scored 100,000+ in Antutu's storage test, of which the write speed reached more than 2070MB/s, and the standard performance of UDS3.1.

In the GeekBench5/6 benchmark score, the Oppo Reno12 Pro scored 1266/1119 points for single-core and 4562/4158 points for multi-core.

In the 3D Mark test, 20 consecutive rounds of high-intensity Wild Life, the stability is 58.1%, and the lowest cycle score is 6321, from the test, the performance release of the OPPO Reno12 Pro is conservative, not so aggressive, and pays more attention to temperature control and power consumption control.

OPPO Reno12 Pro 支持《王者荣耀》120 帧极致画质模式。

IT Home test, online 5V5 team battle, after 13 minutes of gameplay, the average frame rate reached 119.07fps, basically full frame performance, this result is quite eye-catching.

OPPO Reno12 Pro《王者荣耀》120 帧极致画质,平均帧率 119.07fps

Next, the highest-quality "Genshin Impact" test, the game test scene is running in the wild + fighting monsters. In the face of the more performance-hungry "Genshin Impact", OPPO Reno12 Pro's performance is slightly more conservative, and the game has been kept around 45fps since the beginning, although the frame is reduced, but the frame is basically stable throughout the whole process in the later stage45fps, even in the battle scene, there are not many frame drops visible to the naked eye, and the game experience is still very stable.

The same is true for the OPPO Reno12 Pro's performance in the game, with a simple running picture, basically keeping around 45-60fps, but there will be obvious frame drops when the character appears, and when the character is loaded, it will return to normal.

The temperature of "Against the Cold".

To the author's surprise,OPPO Reno12 ProThe temperature control performance is quite good,In the long-term "Glory of Kings" game,The fuselage is only slightly hot,And in the face of the more performance"Against the Cold",Even if the game is 30 minutes,The temperature control is also kept below 40°C,Although the feel is warm,But compared with some mobile phones with performance tuning,Reno12 Pro's temperature control is quite surprising。

It is worth mentioning that for games such as "Against the Cold", Reno12 Pro has also added the "Super Frame Super Picture" function, after turning on Super HDR image quality, the picture is brighter, more transparent, the dynamic range is higher, and the game experience is better.

In addition, the Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition is also a flagship core, so the real-time ray tracing in "Against the Cold" is naturally supported by the OPPO Reno12 Pro.

Write at the end

After a period of experience, the OPPO Reno12 Pro gives the author the greatest feeling - this is a mobile phone with the ultimate trend, but the experience is quite "pragmatic".

All the product innovations brought by Reno12 Pro are almost all about user experience, it knows what users need more, it knows which pain points have not been solved, and what experience gaps have not been explored, so OPPO Reno12 Pro brings support for Android's first live photo release, bringing AI elimination, AI closed eyes repair, Xiaobu travel assistant, networkless communication, etc.

Although the Reno12 Pro is not particularly exaggerated in terms of parameters, it uses all the innovative points in the places that consumers are more concerned about within the limited cost, which is what the author understands as "pragmatic". Of course, the basic experience of the OPPO Reno12 Pro is also very stable, the Dimensity 9200 + Star Speed Edition chip ensures flagship performance, which is enough to cope with various games and various daily use, and the "four-curved soft edge straight screen" and Y2K-style design also bring a different trendy beauty.

All in all, this generation of Reno phones is very different and worth buying for young users with trendy aesthetics and a love of sharing. On the other hand, if you need an Android phone that can share "live photos", the Reno12 series is the only option right now.
