Before starting, let's ask a small question, are there still people waiting for a thin and light beauty machine?

That's right, I'm talking about the kind of products that focus on the thin and delicate body, the stylish and unique appearance design, the price is set in the mid-range gear, and the hardware configuration is ordinary, or more simply, the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro released some time ago, or the OPPO Reno series, vivo S series and Honor digital series.

As a user who bought the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro for the first time, Xiao Lei can only say that I still like it.

If you're waiting for this kind of machine, you've got it right. Judging from the available information, if nothing else, in the next two weeks, the models of mainstream manufacturers with similar positioning will usher in a wave of major updates, and these offline models that sell well will also collectively launch new machines to impact 618.

First and foremost, the OPPO Reno12 series is the first to bear the brunt.

On May 23, OPPO held a new product launch conference, officially bringing the highly anticipated Reno12 series.

Lei Technology was invited to participate in the press conference. This series of new products not only has hardware upgrades such as a thin and delicate body, a four-curved straight screen with equal depth, and a super anti-drop diamond architecture, but also brings software upgrades such as new AI images and live photo releases, which is an in-depth exploration of OPPO's technological innovation.

This machine is naturally in our hands now.

Then let's not talk nonsense, today I will mainly talk to you about the standard version of the OPPO Reno12. What are the highlights and shortcomings of this product? I believe that everyone's expectations are no less than mine, so without further ado, I will take you to take a look.

The isodeep four-curved screen feels more moist

The old rule, let's talk about appearance first.

This time, the OPPO Reno12 comes in three colors: soft peach, ebony black, and the main product Millennium Silver.

The so-called millennium silver, according to OPPO's official statement, is a reflection of the Y2K era (that is, the end of the 90s to the beginning of this century) of an aesthetic, when people were full of fantasies and visions for the future of technology, and the aesthetic elements related to it are characterized by silver, metal, fluorescent, transparent and other half-virtual and half-real elements, the most common of which is a unique set of silver foil wear.

And the Reno12 in our hands is indeed very much like a coat woven with a layer of silver foil.

AG frosted glass material, delicate and silky to the touch, not easy to stain fingerprints.

The unique design of the quicksilver glass, which can refract a variety of flowing textures under different lighting conditions, looks like the liquid metal in Terminator 2, and has a wonderful sense of nostalgia, but it seems to come from a time after us.

The so-called "retro future" may be the feeling of this kind of feeling.

Looking further up, you will find that on the back of the Reno12, Deco has overturned the design of the previous generation similar to large rings and small rings, and returned to the classic Reno 4, 5, and 6 versions, with the new Paris studs, which is not a kind of "retro future".

This little composition,OPPO did write a little off topic。

Flip to the front.

OPPO did not continue to use the curved screen this time, but went a step further and used a four-curved straight screen with equal depth that is basically only equipped with flagship products.

Specific parameters, 6.7 inches, FHD+ resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz high-frequency dimming, manual maximum brightness 600nits, peak brightness 1200nits.

The screen is slightly wider up and down,The two sides are extremely narrow,The perception must have improved a lot,At the same time, it also takes into account the convenience of the straight screen and the feel of the curved screen,At least the curved screen that everyone often talks about is mistouched、Distortion and color shift must be gone。

The point is that thanks to the new form of the screen, the feel of Reno12 this time can be said to have increased exponentially.

The body is only 7.3mm thick and weighs about 179g, and it feels as round as a pebble, so you can hold it with one hand without burden. The sides of the fuselage are also curved, and the screen transition of the middle frame back panel is smoother, which looks thinner and lighter, and also fits more closely in the palm of the hand.

Compared with those half-catty image mobile phones, Reno12 is obviously the kind of eyebrows that are clear-eyed.

I really loved it, I liked it a little.

Dimensity in-depth joint debugging, decent performance

After talking about this design, it's time to talk about the configuration.

What to say, in the past, the two keywords of "thin and light" and "performance" are basically a pair of contradictions, thin and fashionable mobile phones cannot achieve high performance, and high-performance mobile phones are difficult to achieve a balance between performance and measurements.

However, this time, OPPO also focused on promoting the game performance of the Reno12 series, especially the Reno12 Pro, which not only replaced the Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition, which is suitable for the Glory of Kings 120 frames of extreme image quality, but also claims that the game temperature is higher than that of friends to 9°C.

However, the Reno12 is not so good, there is only one Dimensity 8250 Star Edition.

There is nothing mysterious about the specifications of this processor, which is essentially Dimensity 8200, using TSMC 4nm process technology, 1*3.1GHz A78 super core + 3*3.0GHz A78 large core + 4*2.0GHz A55 energy-saving core, Mali-G610 MC6 GPU.

In the Antutu V10 running score project, OPPO Reno12 scored 1.01 million points.

For comparison, we measured the Dimensity 8200 with a score of about 1 million points, and the Dimensity 8300 with a score of about 1.5 million points, and the performance is self-explanatory.

Take the mainstream game "Peace Elite" as an example,Set the picture quality to"Ultra HD + Extreme Frame Rate"Mode,In about half an hour of normal matching games,The game frame rate is always maintained at around 60 frames,The average frame rate is58.39 frames,The picture of the whole game is smooth,No matter driving the map、Or entering the battle,There is basically no jamming in the whole process,The performance is not bad。

In League of Legends Mobile, the Oppo Reno12 performed very well. The machine natively supports 90 frame mode,In the game process, it can basically achieve stable frame performance throughout the whole process,The average frame rate is 89.11 frames,There will be no obvious frame drops in the high-load scene of team battles、Caton,You can still play relatively smoothly。

(Source: Lei Technology)

In fact, such performance is enough to cope with the needs of daily games, such as "Honor of Kings", "Peace Elite", "League of Legends Mobile" and other games are basically stress-free.

As for the temperature of the fuselage, thanks to the high energy efficiency ratio of the Dimensity 8250 Star Speed Edition, although after a long time of gaming, the body of the Reno12 will inevitably have a certain temperature rise, but Xiaolei believes that it is still within the acceptable range, especially considering the thin and light body.

In terms of battery life, the Reno12 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery, which is an increase from the previous generation's 4800mAh, and the charging power has also been increased from 67W to the new 80W.

If you use 80W wired fast charging, you can charge from 1% to 28% in 10 minutes and 100% in 45 minutes. The improvement is actually not much compared to the previous generation, but it is a good thing that there is an improvement.

Powered by AI images, live photos are released for the first time

In terms of imaging, OPPO still chooses a familiar formula.

However, this time there is no IMX890 sensor, and we will continue to use the most fashionable LYT-600 sensor this year, yes, the main camera sensor on the OnePlus Ace 3v.

The specifications are 50 million pixels, the size is 1/1.953 inch, f/1.8, and it supports OIS optical image stabilization, which cannot be said to be exactly the same as the previous generation, but it can only be said that there is no difference at all.

The main camera algorithm,OPPO didn't talk about it in detail this time,It is estimated that it is not much different from the previous generation。

Judging from the actual shooting effect, in the case of full sunlight during the day, the shooting effect of Reno12 is still remarkable, and the color grading is still the favorite bright style of the black factory, and the overall dynamic range performance of the picture is also good, and the look and feel is relatively natural and eye-catching.

At night, with the blessing of the algorithm, as long as there is light, it can behave well, but the highlight part of the roadside light sign cannot be pressed down well, and a lot of detail will be lost in extremely dark environments, of course, this is also a relatively extreme shooting scene.

Live photos can now be taken as well.

As long as this function is turned on, the mobile phone will record a short moving image of a total of 2 seconds before and after the shutter when shooting, and accompanied by sound, like an ultra-short video, making the photo more vivid and vivid, and it can also be shared on platforms such as Xiaohongshu at any time.

(Source: Lei Technology)

Overall, this main camera is decent, after all, the positioning of Reno12 is here, and it is somewhat unrealistic to expect its photos to hit the Find series.

However, this time, OPPO's main focus is actually a series of AI imaging functions.

AI elimination, now everyone has it, and the measured effect is roughly as follows.

(Source: Lei Technology)

This is a hotel lobby I took a picture of, AI automatically identified three passers-by, and in the end, in addition to the reflection was not eliminated, the elimination of passers-by was still relatively perfect.

In addition to AI elimination, OPPO Reno12 also supports AI cutout, which allows you to open the photo or video you want to cut out in the album and press and hold the subject you want to cut out in the frame.

(Source: Lei Technology)

For example, if you press and hold this bottle.

Eh,It's cut out.,The cutout effect is quite fine.,It's estimated that it's not too complicated scenes.,There shouldn't be any recognition errors.。

(Source: Lei Technology)

The telephoto can be said to be an indispensable configuration at the moment, and the Reno12 certainly can't be left behind.

But don't think about periscope, Reno12 is equipped with a 2x vertical telephoto, and the sensor debuted Samsung JN5 sensor this time, which can be regarded as a small improvement?

With a 50-megapixel spec, 1/2.76-inch, and f/2.0, it can meet the basic needs of portrait shooting, and it is a bit too much to think about it if you really want to shoot anything from afar.

In the case of portraits, the telephoto lens with the default two-fold optical zoom can indeed better compose the shot, and with the image algorithm that the Reno series has accumulated for a long time in previous generations, it should be quite good to shoot young ladies.

As for the vista, the 5x magnified street sign is basically unrecognizable.

(Source: Lei Technology)

Finally, there is the ultra-wide-angle, IMX355 sensor, 8 million pixels entry level, purely Tu Yile.

I took it and took it casually, and I can only say that the ultra-wide-angle lens can indeed bring more gameplay to your mobile phone image, and the quality of such a picture is enough to share with the circle of friends.

(Source: Lei Technology)

The front part, this time, is also equipped with a Samsung JN5 sensor as standard in the whole system.

The specifications are 50 million pixels, 1/2.76 inch, f/2.0, and the parameters are similar to the old actor IMX709 on the Reno series.

Summary: The mid-range machine that focuses on appearance

Merit:

1. The camera Deco returns to the classic design and praise;

2. The four-curved straight screen of equal depth, the positive perception jumps;

3. The first live photo is the first to be socially practical.

Shortage:

1. The processor is still standing still;

2. The image configuration is the same as that of the previous generation.

Speaking of mobile phones, this time the OPPO Reno12 series is a mid-range machine that focuses on appearance.

If you really want to talk about the configuration, it is indeed a bit of a taste of squeezing toothpaste, but the Reno series is taking the route of appearance after all, and the appearance upgrade and configuration are equally important, and you can take the initiative to give up the design that has been debated a lot in previous generations, and get back to the classic Reno system camera Deco, with the new three unique colors this time, and the fourth-class deep micro curved screen, I think there is really nothing to find fault with in terms of appearance.

By the way, the most plus point for female users may be the first live photo posting function. After all, only the OPPO Reno12 series can post live photos on Xiaohongshu, and it is the first Android phone to enjoy this dynamic photo sharing experience.

What to say, anyway, the mobile phone market is so volatile this year, if you want to pay attention to extreme performance, it is actually good to buy a OnePlus Ace 3V.

But if you're picky about the appearance of the product, don't have a particularly heavy obsession with dual speakers, and want your phone to have above-average performance and image capabilities, OPPO Reno12 is indeed a beautiful phone worth getting.
